Quotations
On the revolution: “The Syrian people need to be protected. At the same time, we say that we don't want this revolution to become armed, we want to remain peaceful. [Having] alternative solutions will help this revolution to remain peaceful. There should be a road map in cooperation between the international community and the Syrian opposition to [find] new alternatives and solutions.” (Radio Free Europe, Oct. 7, 2011; portrait metro.lu)
