Assad sets Feb 26th for referendum on Constitution allowing the Pres. Leader to have two consecutive terms of 7 years. There by a 14 year reign on Syria. The long term policy can be considered dictatorship like or in some respects allows for change. Whether Assad will be able to take the position as leader is to be cleared up. If there will be new Presidential elections of will Assad just take office minus what he as already resided.
Will need more details on the upcoming vote? Who sits in office while this new referendum takes place allowing for a President to have a term in office. For Russia has said that we are not in the business of regime changing that it is the Syrian problem.
When the simple true answer is in the Russian military base for its Navy. The only Naval base within the Mediterranean Sea. Since you are aftaid to lose this base you decided to allow a monster to be born killing
over 5,000 Syrian. So today we have a vote which does little to stem the problem the violence within Syria.
The International community has a right to know more about this upcoming vote and who the leader will be
after the vote is cast.
All the Best,
Sir Jeremiah Kennedy
