Turkish premier says Syrian regime will go

ISTANBUL (A.A) - November 21, 2011 - Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has warned Syrian president that his regime was destined to fall sooner or later. "No matter how hard you try to hold on to power with your tanks and your weapons, a day will come and you will go. Because no worldly authority has ever lasted forever," Erdogan told an Istanbul meeting of chief Muslim clerics from African countries and communities. Erdogan said he had warned Bashar Al Assad numerous times to step down, "but he wouldn't listen." "If you trust yourself, go to polls and let your people decide. If the polls lead you to power you may rule. But otherwise your office is only temporary," he said.
