Syrian Vice President Faruq al-Shara "is a man of reason" who could replace President Bashar al-Assad as the head of a transition administration to stop Syria's civil war, according to Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu, Hurriyet reports.
"Faruq al-Shara is a man of reason and conscience and he has not taken part in the massacres in Syria. Nobody knows the (Syrian) system better than he," Davutoğlu said yesterday on the public television channel TRT.
The Turkish minister stressed that the Syrian opposition "is inclined to accept Shara" as the future leader of the Syrian administration.
