AFP, Moscow, 7 Oct 2011- Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said Friday that Syria’s strongman leader Bashar al-Assad will have to give up power if he fails to implement reforms acceptable to the opposition.
If the Syrian leadership is unable to undertake these reforms, it will have to go. But this is something that has to be decided not by NATO or individual European countries but by the people and leadership of Syria, ITAR-TASS quoted Medvedev as saying
