Erdogan Vows No Silence on Assad Regime 'Crimes'
 Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneckal-Assad Scourge of Qusayr... 's "crimes" against his own people. "Every day a large number of innocent children and women fall dead in Syria," Erdogan said in a speech at the Government Communication Forum in the United Arab Emirates. "We will not remain silent to those committing crimes against their people," he said. "We will not remain silent to the brutal dictator in Syria," Erdogan added. "Some people are annoyed with the loud voices with which we confront world problems" but "we will not stay silent." Turkey's southern neighbor has been locked in a 23-months-long conflict in which the United Nations ...an international organization whose stated aim of facilitating interational security involves making sure that nobody with live ammo is offended unless it's a civilized country... estimates over 70,000 people have been killed since an uprising began against Assad's regime. Early in the revolt, Turkey broke ties with Damascus ...The capital of Iran's Syrian satrapy... and led international calls for Assad's ouster. It has since backed the uprising by offering shelter to defectors from Assad's army and hosting opposition meetings. Some 200,000 Syrian refugees have fled the conflict in their country for Turkey, many of them living in insalubrious camps. On February 15, Syrian state media reported that the Syrian government has sent a letter to the United Nations blasting Turkey's "destructive" role in the Syrian conflict.
