PRESIDENT BASAR ASSAD DEFIANCE BY HIS REFUSAL FOR THE STEP-DOWN FROM OFFICE HAS CONTINUED WITH THE FORMATION OF THE INTERIM GOVERNMENT.

        Mounting pressure on the Syrian government has remarkably increased in the last few days, due to repeated massacres. domestic bomb blast in the Syrian inner city Damascus and particularly after the Turkish government announcement of its stationed Troops at the Turkish Syrian borders for possible airstrikes on intended targets inside Damascus and on other towns in Syria in retaliation against the shotdown of its military fighter jet by the Syrian Airforce, if similar offensive is repeated, eventhough the Turkish government admitted that the fighter plane may have violated the Syrian sovereign airspace during the border patrol. However, President Basar Assad defiance by his refusal for the step down from office has continued with the formation of the interim government, inspite of the current domestic violence and mounting international pressure from various sources that included the NATO, the USA, the European Union countries, some Arab World countries, the Middle East and the North African countries.
