The words about Syria spoken by Doğu Perinçek, the Chairman of the Homeland Party, during a live broadcast have caused controversy. The Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office has launched an investigation against Perinçek on the grounds that he described the Free Syrian Army as terrorists and praised the Bashar al-Assad regime.
On Wednesday, November 27, opposition forces launched an operation against the Bashar al-Assad regime in Syria, capturing many cities without even engaging in conflict.

Last night, the opposition forces took control in the capital, Damascus, causing the 61-year-old Ba'ath regime to collapse and leading to the escape of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad from the country.
