Annan: Syria Has Reached a "Tipping Point" as Killings Continue 
----------------------------------------------------------------


 
Following the killings in Houla, U.N.-Arab League envoy Kofi Annan made
an emergency trip to Damascus to meet with Assad. Annan said Syria has
reached a "tipping point" after more than a year of conflict.

Kofi Annan: "I shared with President Assad my assessment that the
six-point plan is not being implemented as it must. We are at a tipping
point. The Syrian people do not have a future, their future to be one of
bloodshed and division. Yet the killings continue, and the abuses are
still with us today."
