Syrian President Bashar al-Assad addressed today his nation for the third time since the eruption of the unrest that swept the country in mid March, Syria's state TV reported.
"Conspiracy is blooding the country, this is a black period in Syria and we should not continue," said al-Assad.
The president vows to "eradicate conspiracy like germs", reiterating that "We have to differentiate those with needs and the destructive elements."
"There are demands from the period of confrontation with Muslim brotherhood," he added.
Syria has been in unrest for more than three months after the anti-government demonstrations started in the southern province of Daraa. The protests have spread to several other Syrian cities, leading to deaths of both protesters and policemen.
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has responded to the country's unprecedented anti-government protests by offering some concessions, including lifting the state of emergency which had been in place since 1963, releasing hundreds of political detainees and reshuffling the government.
