Assad speech an 'incitement to violence': Syria opposition

The Syrian National Council (SNC) branded Tuesday's speech by President Bashar Al Assad an "incitement to violence," indicating "more criminal behaviour" by the regime.

"There is incitement to violence, incitement to civil strife, some talks about sectarian divisions which the regime itself has fomented and encouraged," Basma Qadmani, a member of the SNC, the largest opposition umbrella group, said at a press conference in Istanbul.
