75. Erdogan stepped up his rhetoric against Syria's Bashar al-Assad, Reuters reports

From The Guardian's Live Blog:

Erdogan stepped up his rhetoric against Syria's Bashar al-Assad, Reuters reports.

Erdogan told a cheering crowd in Tripoli that by ousting Muammar Gaddafi the Libyan people had set an example to others seeking to throw off oppression.

"You are the ones who showed the whole world that no administration can stand in the way of the might and will of the people," Erdogan said, as many chanted "Turkey, Turkey."

"Do not forget this: those in Syria who inflict repression on the people will not be able to stand on their feet because oppression and prosperity cannot exist together."
