Erdogan: Bashar is Politically Dead

quote from Turkish Prime Minister Recep Erdogan:

"We have 83,000 refugees in Turkey, and the Lebanese have about the same amount, and there are about 200,000 in Jordan. These people have not fled their country because they wanted to. Also, there are currently 2.5 million people within Syria who have been displaced; close to 30,000people have been killed in this conflict.
As a result, we see the opposition gaining strength every day. So this regime will go. Bashar is politically dead. Of course, it is difficult to tell whether this will take place in a week, a month or when. This also has to do with how Russia and China approach the situation."

I agree with this assessment. The only question is: "When will Bashar Assad Leave? Now or later. Because the people will not tolerate him to govern them anymore. The majority of Syrians are through with Bashar Assad. And it likely doesn't matter in the end what Iran and Russia do in regard to this fact. Unless Russia and Iran want to start world War III in Syria, Bashar Assad will soon be gone.
