U.S. calls for concrete reforms to Syrian President

Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton urged Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, to undertake the reforms demanded by their citizens in the wave of protests that began on day 18, resigned today after the government of Prime Minister Mohamed Naji Otri. "It depends on the Syrian government, its leaders, starting with President Bashar al-Assad, to prove they can meet the needs of its own people," Clinton said at a news conference at the end of the international conference on the future of Libya held in London.

Secretary of State said the U.S. position regarding the situation in Syria is the same as it has over "the rest of the sequences of incredible events that have been in North Africa and Middle East." "We hope that they become opportunities for reform in all these countries. We want to see peaceful transitions, and democracies that represent the will of its citizens," said Secretary of State.

"We support the implementation of reforms to match the demands of citizens to their government, as the immediate elimination of the state of emergency," said the head of U.S. diplomacy. Clinton, who this week said Washington ruled out his country's participation in the Syrian conflict as it did in Libya, said the administration of Barack Obama is "as Syrian citizens, waiting and watching" the developments in Syria .

In that sense, it is expected that Al Asad ruling on Wednesday before Parliament, "an important message to all Syrians," an official said in Damascus.
