DAMASCUS: Damascus accused Washington and the West on Thursday of seeking to stoke violence in Syria, after US President Barack Obama and the European Union said that Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad must step down.
"It is strange that instead of offering (Damascus) a helping hand to implement its programme of reforms, the West and Obama are seeking to stoke more violence in Syria," Reem Haddad, the information ministry's director of external relations, told AFP.
