Turkey, an influential country near Syria, said that it is losing patience in the light of the lack of progress in attempts to persuade Assad to halt military attacks against popular uprisings, which - according to activists - have already killed 3,000 civilians .
In the first direct appeal for foreign intervention, the Syrian opposition said that the continuous increase in the number of victims of the protests has caused many Syrians to leave the reservations and ask for help abroad.
The Syrian General Commission for the revolution was yesterday asked the international community to send observers because they help reduce its military attacks against civilians.
"The demand for foreign intervention is a sensitive issue that could be used by the regime to label opponents as traitors. As a first step we ask the intervention of international observers," he told Reuters spokesman Ahmad al-Khatib.
The announcement came as Syrian forces have arrested dozens of people from house to house searches in the city of Homs after a series of military operations Wednesday in which they killed at least 27 civilians.
