Assad should leave his office
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called on the world community Wednesday to choke the Syrian regime's economic lifelines as she headed into a strategy session with key regional powers, the France 24 says.
According to Reuters, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told Western and Arab nations at a meeting in Istanbul on Wednesday that a transition strategy in Syria must include President Bashar al-Assad's full transfer of power, a senior U.S. State Department official said.
Clinton also told the meeting that transition in Syria must include a fully representative interim government that would lead to free and fair elections.
