rejected this regime’s criminal and corrupt ways … and who cannot accept

that “whatever mistakes made by some members of the Syrian Arab Army …

extension of the Free Syrian Army.”
It is “the duty of Syrians to unite, to build a free, democratic Syria,” said

transition phase in Syria should Assad go or be removed from power.
