.. Commenting on the Syria crisis, for which is said to be top of the agenda during the meeting between the king and president, Obama said that Assad has "lost all legitimacy," and that his fall was not a question of "if, but when.""Something has been broken in Syria, and it won't be put back together perfectly immediately, even after Assad," Obama said.
Obama pledged to give $200 million to Jordan in aid of the crisis. Abdullah responded to say he would refuse to close Jordan's borders to Syrian refugees.
"We haven't led with words, but with deeds," Obama said. "We have worked diligently to help organize and mobilize political opposition. This is critical; in it's absence, it would be impossible to transition to a legitimate government," he said.

The West traditionally portrayed the Republic of Turkey which emerged on the ruins of the Ottoman Empire as a secular democratic Muslim state .. Even though this cliche is being persistently circulated in the
Western media and very often uttered by American and European
officials, it is far from reality.
In reality, one of the
consequences of the Armenian Genocide was the creation of the first
fascist state in Europe’s periphery. The Republic of Turkey had all the
core characteristics inherent to fascism and Nazism, which later
emerged in Italy, Germany and some other European countries.
