The latest edition of Amanpour is online: Part 1 Mexico's presumed president Can Enrique Peña Nieto save Mexico? Christiane Amanpour speaks Mexico's presumed president-elect. Part 2: Impressions of Bashar al-Assad Utku Cakirozer, a Turkish journalist who just interviewed Bashar al-Assad, gives his impressions of the embattled leader.

This guy must be brought to book for the killing of innocent women and children he claimed to be their leader.
He should be brought to justice or assassinated if possible. Both are necessary but the later more urgent to stop the bloodshed. We could be dealing with a psychopathetic British trained doctor who needs help but out of reach. My guess is things will remain on hold untill US elections are over, by which time he will have no citizenry to lead.
So this is your final take on the whole Syrian crisis? Are you from Africa (as your last name suggests)? If you are, why don't you worry about the ongoing conflicts and bloodshed in your own continent, and I'd be interested to see if you can so glibly advocate the assassination of African leaders who are deemed pariahs in the West-e.g. Robert Mugabe.
Whatever your misinformed, prejudiced impressions of the violence in Syria, and/or of President Assad, it's absolutely preposterous of you or anybody else to be brazenly advocating outright assassination of a head of state of another country. Are you so hopelessly sold on the ceaseless, hypocritical propaganda of the U.S/West that you can blithely speak such odious nonsense, and pass it off as a serious opinion?
This time Asaad's removal is inevitable. He's holding on straw and only time will tell.
A rather bland interview, with practically no new "insight" from the Turkish jouno here, about his interview with Bashar al-Assad. Christiane, as usual, was reeling off her leading questions, most of which sounded like blatantly American perspectives on the issue, rather than more sophisticated, unbiased, nuanced conversation I'd expect from a program like Amanpour's. I think Turkey shouldn't try to toy with Syria's resolve to see this crisis through, and Assad's determination to defeat the foreign-sponsored insurgency in his country. Assad has made many policy mistakes during his 12-year rule in Syria, but the outside clamour for his stepping down from power, and going away, etc...are entirely fatuous and unwarranted. Fantasies of Assad's fate being a sequel to Muammar Gaddafi's have the slimmest chance of being fulfilled.
This comment is strictly to compliment Christiane Amanpour for her rational, intelligent iterviews with many world leaders. She is eloquent and all interviews are marked with extreme integrity. It's a distinct pleasure to be able to listen to you and the interviews which are often very difficult to imagine. Thank you for your unique ability to present such subject matter to viewers like myself who are looking for non-biased reporting.
Ronnie, you're a raving lunatic!
Please we shuld look in to justice
You have hit the mark. Thought good, ti agree with you.
