Aleppo 2018

[rein]

Sorry but, despite a very unpopular government with Islamic tendencies, Ataturk's achievements have been preserved for the most part. Sharia law has a lesser possibility of being institutionalized in Turkey than in Western Europe with radical Muslim populations. That being said; Sharia courts are operating in the UK.

As a woman; would you prefer to live in any part of Syria even though Assad, who is supposedly more secular than Erdogan, is in power or in Turkey?

Any part is good as long as it’s not controlled by ISIS.

Muslims are crazy

Nominating yourself for a leader?

Assad is an Alawite tho, they are way closer to Christianity. He first and foremost cares about his community and I don't blame him for that.

Nope

I like Assad, and Alawites being a minority makes them somewhat more respectable.

Assad is only short term solution as it was pointed by Georgia which I am impressed, most people do resent him to be honest, the majority. He is only good because he will hold Syria, otherwise their should be true transformation to democracy, but this will not happen any time soon, perhaps he will be more inclusive in his government which would be the right step. In the rural areas he has no supporters, in the southeast neither as most tribal/region dislike him, but they also dislike Turks and Iranians even more to be honest. Kurds don't really like him to, and they only changed their tunes when they saw no one is going to help them like what happened in Iraq. However he is better in, than having a chaos unleashed like what happened in Libya.

No, you are absolutely wrong, as usual. The majority supports him, not resent him. That's why the vast majority of Syria, under his leadership, now live in peace. But I know you would have preferred it if the terrorists had won.

Not at all. I think Assad is better to be there, then to let chaos ensues. I was naive to think that democracy can work there, as there is to many factions fighting for power. I said that Assad should be more inclusive and represent people from all ethnic groups in government.

What happened in Lybia is just a necessary stage on the way of building the future successful state, the more Assad regime holds the power the longer this problem solution is going to be postponed.

It'd be certain death for regime, socialistic type of dictatorship by definition doesn't emply decentralization of power.

[Borealis]

Assad is a good leader.

I read this and then saw your age. Not surprised.
