Asad says the crisis in Syria is the product of a conspiracy

Syrian President Bashar Assad, delivered a speech in parliament, which has acknowledged that he lives "exceptional moments", in which it has tested the unity of the country. " "Syria is not isolated from what is happening elsewhere in the Arab world," said, admitting that his country is reflecting the 'Arab spring' and that is not closed to "reform." However, it has ensured that the crisis that exists in the country, with mass protests demanding an end to the regime, are the product of a "grand conspiracy." He has also accused the social networks and foreign channels "send false messages" and has stated that the demonstrators in the southern city of Dera are "a minority trying to spread chaos." But still, claims to have given clear instructions to not cause "harm" to the people during the protests, in which fears that have already killed hundreds of people.

The president has made clear that it was important to differentiate the needs of reforms and the malice of the conspirators aided by outside forces. " Asad used the change of government as an example that "reforms are taking place." "Now everything is new to the country's political scene, has ruled, adding:" Our reforms began 10 years ago and continue 10 years.

" The Syrian president, Bashar Assad, has led the nation the first time since the outbreak last 18 days of protests for democratic reforms, which have been repressed by blood and fire. In his speech, Assad was expected, in power since 2000, announced political reforms, including lifting of the Emergency Law in force since 1963, a multiparty system and freedom of the press.

What finally did not happen. The president has gone after his speech, amid cheers and applause from his supporters in parliament in Damascus.
