While insisting that he would not carry out reforms amid chaos, Assad gave no indication that his regime is planning to put an end to violence in the country or that the security services would be held accountable for the crackdown on demonstrators.
Insistirajući da neće sprovoditi reforme u haosu, Asad nije nagovestio da njegov režim planira da okonča nasilje u zemlji ili da će snage bezbednosti biti smatrane odgovornim za oštre mere protiv demonstranata.
