Syria's oppressors will not survive: Turkey
Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdoğan stated on Friday that the autocratic regime in Syria will collapse just like those in Egypt, Tunisia and Libya.
“I was in Tunisia yesterday; I greeted people who carried out the Jasmine Revolution. Two days before that, I was in Egypt and I greeted people who have initiated the Arab Spring. Today, I am with you,” Erdoğan said, addressing an enthusiastic crowd on Martyrs' Square, which was renamed from the Gaddafi-era Green Square.
When the crowd chanted slogans against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Erdoğan said: “Those who repress their own people in Syria will not survive. The time of autocracies is over. Totalitarian regimes are disappearing. The rule of the people is coming.”
Erdoğan was addressing the Libyan people following talks with Libya's National Transitional Council (NTC) Chairman Mustafa Abdel Jalil and NTC Deputy Chairman Mahmoud Jibril. In his speech, he wished the NTC leaders success. Another message to the Libyan people by Erdoğan was a call for unity as a nation for the sake of the future of their country.
“Do not give credit to those who have plans for Libya's resources. Libya belongs to Libyans and it should remain so. God bless all of you,” Erdoğan said. Following his talks in Tripoli, Erdoğan was expected to also visit Benghazi, the cradle of the revolution that overthrew Muammar Gaddafi, before returning to Turkey on late Friday. Libya was the last leg of a three-nation tour by Erdoğan which earlier this week took him to Egypt first and then to Tunisia.
Turkish Deputy Premier Bekir Bozdağ, Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu, Transportation Minister Binali Yıldırım, Energy and Natural Resources Minister Taner Yıldız, Economy Minister Zafer Cağlayan and Defense Minister İsmet Yılmaz accompanied Erdoğan on the tour. Erdoğan hopes to reap political and economic dividends from Libya’s new rulers for his country’s help in their struggle to end Muammar Gaddafi’s 42-year grip on power.
