Hariri: Syria should halt its killing machine

Share:

Lebanon’s Former Prime Minister Saad Hariri , who is in Turkey on an official visit said on Wednesday, following a meeting with Turkish PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Ankara, that Syria “should stop its killing machine,” according to local reports

Hariri and Erdogan held talks in the presence of Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, during which the attendees reviewed the latest regional developments, particularly in Syria.

Davutoglu who earlier in the day hosted a lunch for Hariri’s delegation said that Turkey “will make all possible efforts” to help the Arab League succeed in its mission to end the conflict in Syria and dispatch a monitoring team.

“We will support the Arab initiative and monitor its implementation, since we also took part in it .” Davutoglu stressed

However, Davutoglu sounded pessimistic about Syria’s intentions and said said:

“Unfortunately, even after Syria signed the [Arab] protocol, hundreds of Syrians were killed, and this is unacceptable.”

“Signing the protocol implies readiness to cooperate with the Arab League.” He stressed

    It is very obvious that everyone is reassessing the situation in Syria.After eight months of  protest and unrest; both  
    the government and opposition forces have reached a stalemate in which the government cannot quell the unrest and the opposition cannot bring down the regime without outside intervention.
    Although, it is tempting to compare Syria to Libya, where  both countries  have been ruled by families instead of a democratic system of government,and both were subject to totalitarian rules, but in reality Syria  is a  different situation.
    The two societies are made up differently. Syria is made up of  diffrent religious and sectarian groups,while Libya is more tribal, yet not sectarian.
    The Syrian opposition were not able to establish their own Binghazi,where they totally control,and launch their offense against  troops and  territories controlled by the government.
    While there has been some defection by low level officers and soldiers,Syria has not seen the a large scale  military defection that occurred in Libya. compared with Libyan military,The Syrian military has remained for the most part  unified and intact.
    Unlike Libya, Syria doe not have  oil reserve, large enough for American and European countries to push for a military intervention with the same enthusiasm they did in Libya.
    Syrian military is much more stronger that the Libyan military,which means any intervention would be much more costly in terms of human casualties and money.
    Considering the gloomy situation in Libya, the European nations and the united states do not seem to be eager,nor do they have political will  or incentives to conduct another expensive military operation in Syria.
     Unless supported by NATO or the United States,non of the regional countries( Turkey, Saudi Arabia …)have the power to intervene military and topple the Syrian regime.
    Having said that, the United states,the European nations and the regional powers are not giving up .It is clear that  they will rely on covert operations against the Syrian regime and offer operational and material support to the opposition Armed militias, with the hope that the Syrian military would get exhausted,and start breaking away from the Assad regime.
    Keeping the Syrian regime and its military busy,and keeping the political and international pressure on Syria side by side with military operations by the syrian opposition  is their best hope to topple the Syrian regime. 
    I think the Syrian people are in for a long struggle and lots of destruction and many  casualties, with no guarantees of getting rid of Assad or a  better future if Assad is brought down.
