DAMASCUS: Syrian President Bashar Al Assad vowed to defeat insurgents by force, speaking after fighters swept into the city of Aleppo on Friday, the official Syrian news agency reported. He made the remarks during a phone call with the acting leader of the breakaway Georgian region of Abkhazia, Badra Ganba, the news agency said on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Jordan said on Sunday that developments in Syria were a 'cause of concern' and that it rejected any action that threatened its northern neighbour's security and stability. In remarks on state television, Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi said the kingdom backed Syria's 'territorial integrity' and its sovereignty and called for increased diplomatic efforts to reach a political settlement that would end the conflict.
