Hezbollah Leader Urges Talks for Assad, Syrian Opposition 
----------------------------------------------------------



Meanwhile in Syria's neighboring country of Lebanon, Hezbollah leader
Hassan Nasrallah spoke out on the Syria crisis on Tuesday in a speech to
supporters in Beirut. Nasrallah called for dialogue between Assad and
the Syrian opposition.

Hassan Nasrallah: "Those who are afraid for the people of Syria and the
future of Syria do not say it is too late, and set conditions for
dialogue, either the president stands down or no dialogue. Those who
care about Syria should go to dialogue. In every crisis in Lebanon when
the Arabs came to resolve the crisis, they called us to a dialogue and
said no conditions, so now why in Syria they call for dialogue with
pre-conditions?''
