Bashar didnot take any concrete steps do u think those ppl who r coming out everyday they like to killed and their sex organs be cut , like that. bashar promised there will be no killings but we see security forces torturing the public and nothing happens

Turkey has closed its airspace to planes carrying military equipment to neighboring Syria, a news report said on Thursday.
The report, published in the mass-circulation daily Hürriyet, said the ban was imposed after Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan announced on Tuesday that Turkey was considering imposing sanctions on Syria in coordination with the US. Erdoğan was speaking in New York after a meeting with US President Barack Obama on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
Turkey, once a close ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, has gradually toughened its criticism against the Syrian regime over its brutal crackdown on anti-regime protests. Erdoğan said in New York that Turkey has already prepared for sanctions against Syria and added that the Turkish foreign minister and the US secretary of state will jointly work on what those Turkish sanctions may entail.
Erdoğan also said he has ended all contact with the Syrian government, lamenting that the actions of the Syrian regime have forced Turkey to take such a decision. Speaking on Wednesday, a senior White House official said Erdoğan and Obama agreed during their meeting to build up pressure on Assad to produce a result that would meet the demands of the Syrian people.
Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall, senior director for European affairs at the National Security Council (NSC) at the White House, told reporters that Turkish and US assessments over the need to intensify pressure on the Assad regime overlap, which she said is very important. She added that the two leaders shared the view that Assad's regime is doing the Syrian people harm as well as agreeing on the need to build up pressure on Assad.
Sherwood-Randall added that Erdoğan and Obama have had close consultations about Syria over the past few months.
Ben Rhodes, Obama's deputy national security adviser, meanwhile, told reporters on Wednesday that the important thing is that the two leaders shared a view that the Assad regime is doing the Syrian people harm and their similar view to build up pressure on Assad.
Rhodes said Turkey remains an important partner for the US to relay to the Syrian leadership the message that it should halt violence against its own people.
“Turkey sent clear messages over the past few days. Erdoğan delivered very strong messages during his North African tour,” Rhodes said, expressing the belief that he is ready to devise ways to build up pressure on the Assad regime.
Sherwood-Randall noted that Turkey's relations with Israel came up during the meeting between Obama and Erdoğan and that Obama voiced his wish for a settlement of the tensions between the two countries.
Rhodes said both countries are important allies for the US and their relations are crucial to the stability of the region, and expressed the belief that it is important that steps be taken to ease tensions in the region.

Assad holds Tel Aviv hostage against Turkish, NATO attack on Syria
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report October 4, 2011, 11:12 AM (GMT+02:00)
For the past three months, Syrian President Bashar Assad has staved off a military attack by Turkey or NATO for halting the exceptional brutality of his crackdown on protest by explicitly holding Greater Tel Aviv's 1.2 million inhabitants under threat of missile retaliation. Iran and Hizballah are exercising the same deterrent. This standoff was the main theme of the talks US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta held with Israeli leaders in Tel Aviv Monday, Oct. 3.
According to Western intelligence sources, Syria, Iran and Hizballah have charted a coordinated military operation for flattening metropolitan Tel Aviv, Israel's financial, industrial and cultural center, with thousands of missiles launched simultaneously by all three - plus the Palestinian Hamas and Jihad Islami firing from the Gaza Strip.
Israeli officials have never publicly admitted that this threat is on record, but Western intelligence sources have reported that Israel reacted with a warning of its own: If a single Syrian missile explodes in Tel Aviv, Damascus will be first to pay the price, and if the missile offensive persists, one Syrian town after another will be destroyed.
The Israeli message to Assad cited the warnings Defense Minister Ehud Barak and other government members addressed in the past year to Hizballah, that if Tel Aviv comes under attack from its missiles, not only Beirut but all of Lebanon would go up in flames. Assad was given to understand that Syria would go the same way as Lebanon if it engaged in missile belligerence against Israel.
Bashar Assad's threat to Israel was very much on Leon Panetta's mind when he told reporters on the plane carrying him to Israel Monday for his first visit as defense secretary: "Real security can only be achieved by both a strong diplomatic effort as well as a strong effort to project your military strength," he said.
Western military sources say that he was not only referring to Syria, Egypt and the Palestinians by this and other statements, but pointing at the widening rift between Israel and Turkey.
The US official believes that this rift plays into the hands of the Syrian ruler and grants him the freedom to issue dire threats against Israel to hold Turkey and NATO back from using military force against his vicious regime. For Panetta, this is a prime example of Israel failing to project its military strength for diplomatic gains that would be beneficial to the West in the uprisings sweeping the Arab world. The loss of Turkish-Israeli military cooperation, albeit not initiated by Israel, ties the hands of the US and NATO against striking Syria. Those sources report that Panetta does not absolve Ankara of responsibility for this situation.
Syria first threatened Israel with retaliation on Aug. 9 when Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu spent six hours with Bashar Assad in an effort on behalf of his own government and NATO to persuade him to stop the carnage his troops were perpetrating against his people.
Davutoglu warned Assad that if he did not desist from his actions he would share the fate of Muammar Qaddafi at the hands of NATO and Turkish forces.
The Syrian ruler's response was harsh: From the moment a shot is fired against Syria, "it will take only six hours for Syria to devastate Tel Aviv and ignite the entire Middle East," he said.
Assad was spelling out the warning issued on May 10 by a close crony, international business tycoon Rami Makhlouf, who said then: "If there is no stability here, theres no way there will be stability in Israel. No way, and nobody can guarantee what will happen after, God forbid, anything happens to this regime.
The barrage of Syrian threats was reinforced from Tehran Monday, Sept, 26 by Ayatollah Jafar Shoujouni, a close associate of the all-powerful Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Shoujouni recalled that when he visited Hizballah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut last May, he assured him: "If Israelis come near Tehran, we will destroy Tel Aviv."
The Iranian cleric and the Syrian businessman spoke in the same vein in the same month. This was no coincidence. Their threat has since been repeated with greater emphasis to provide the Assad regime with insurance for its survival against foreign military intervention while continuing its pitiless onslaught on dissent.
Syria and Turkey are increasingly at odds, debkafile's military sources report. This week, Damascus accused the Turks of smuggling automatic and anti-tank weapons to the protesters, claiming to have uncovered a consignment in the protest center of Homs.
Ankara has initiated the process of freezing Assad family members' bank accounts and assets whose worth is estimated at half a billion dollars.
Turkey is also weighing unilateral sanctions after the UN Security Council last week imposed an arms embargo on Syria although Russia succeeded in blocking a tough council resolution. Moscow was punishing the West for its military intervention in Libya and flatly opposed to giving NATO another such opportunity in Syria.
Damascus repeatedly warned Turkey in the past week of reprisals if its inspectors dare open freights on transit to Syria by ship, plane or land vehicle to search for embargoed arms.
At a time of dangerously spiralling tensions, there is no knowing when the Assad regime will determine that the first Turkish shot was fired and how it will retaliate.

Turkey to conduct military exercise near Syria
04 October 2011, Tuesday / REUTERS, ANKARA
Turkey's military will conduct an exercise in the southern province of Hatay, where more than 7,000 Syrians have taken refuge from Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's security forces.
The Oct. 5-13 "mobilization" exercise, announced on the military's website on Tuesday, may coincide with a visit that Prime Minister Tayyip Erdoğan is expected to make to refugee camps in Hatay after he returns from South Africa this week.
The army said the exercise would involve the 39th mechanized infantry brigade and 730 reserve soldiers.
Turkey's once-close relations with Syria have soured as Erdoğan has fiercely criticized Assad's crackdown on protesters, urging him to end the bloodshed and enact reforms.
Syria has a longstanding territorial claim to Hatay province, but had put this on the back burner in recent years, when Erdoğan and Assad cultivated close ties.
Erdoğan said last month that Assad would be ousted by his people "sooner or later" and warned that Syria could slide into a sectarian civil war between Alawites and Sunnis.
Most Syrians, like most Turks, are Sunni Muslims, while Assad is from the minority Alawite Muslim sect.
Ankara, which has already imposed an arms embargo, has said it is preparing further sanctions against the Syrian government.
The Hatay exercise may revive speculation, denied by officials, that Turkey plans to create a buffer zone in Syria to protect civilians and prevent a flood of refugees to Turkey.
Syrian refugee numbers have remained relatively low and Erdoğan is under little public pressure to take decisive action.
During the 1991 Gulf War, about half a million Iraqi Kurds fled to Turkey, returning only after Western powers, along with Turkish contingents, set up a safe haven across the border.
Syria and Turkey almost went to war in the late 1990s when Damascus was sheltering Turkish Kurd guerrillas.
Syria's old claim to Hatay has bedeviled relations with Turkey. After the Ottoman Empire collapsed in World War One, the province passed to French mandate Syria. Syria gained independence in 1936, but Hatay became part of Turkey in 1939.
Erdoğan was reported to have reached an understanding with Assad in the mid-2000s whereby Syria would drop its claim on Hatay in return for enhanced trade and water rights from Turkey, but neither side has formally acknowledged any such agreement.
With relations again chilly, Turkey has hosted several meetings of Syrian opposition groups, including one at the weekend where a broad-based Syrian National Council was formed.
The council, grouping Assad's secular and Islamist foes, said the world was obliged to protect the Syrian people, but it rejected foreign intervention that harmed Syrian sovereignty.

Prime Minister Erdoğan: Syria sanctions to be announced
04 October 2011, Tuesday / ERDAL ŞEN, PRETORIA
Turkey will soon announce a roadmap for sanctions to be imposed on neighboring Syria, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said on Monday. Speaking at a press conference during a visit to South Africa, Erdoğan said detailed plans on sanctions will be announced after a planned visit to the refugee camps in southern Turkey for Syrians who fled a brutal government crackdown. “But we already have started to implement some of them [sanctions] because they could not wait,” he said.
Erdoğan, once a close ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, has been vocal in criticizing the government crackdown on anti-regime protests. “We cannot remain a bystander of developments in Syria any longer. Oppressed, defenseless people are dying in serious numbers. We cannot say ‘let these deaths continue',” Erdoğan said at the news conference, and added that the actions of the Syrian security forces are unacceptable. “We had a good friendship with Mr. Assad but we have to make sure our friendship is based on principles.
If these principles are trampled upon, then we will leave those friends behind,” he said. Erdoğan likened the Syrian crackdown on protesters to a 1982 massacre by Assad's father, Hafez al-Assad, in the city of Hama, and complained that the Syrian people have been suffering under an emergency rule that has been in place for four decades now. “The president, who says he has lifted emergency rule, keeps bombing the city of Latakia from the sea. These are things we never expected to see happening,” Erdoğan said.
The Turkish prime minister also reiterated criticism of the current structure of the UN Security Council, where each of the five permanent members has the right to block any decision of the 15-member body. He particularly complained that resolutions passed against some countries at the UN Security Council or the General Assembly are implemented while some others that target other countries, such as Israel, are not implemented.
Four European countries -- France, Britain, Germany and Portugal -- were forced to abandon a recent attempt to use the UN Security Council to impose sanctions on Syria, following opposition from Russia, China and South Africa. The four are now working on a watered-down resolution to threaten Syria with sanctions if its regime does not change its approach. Turkey's military will conduct an exercise in the southern province of Hatay, where more than 7,000 Syrians have taken refuge from Syrian President Assad's security forces.

Already the defecting member of army have form ''free syria army'' and the opposition party also form national council . the people at last have rise from ashes against the state oppression . I think if turkey secret;y star arming the free syria army and supporting the opposition council the assad regime collapse is a mater of time . Assad's main power base is the army which actually comprise of his own religious group which is different from the mainstream Islam .
