Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said on Tuesday that his country, in the grips of an anti-regime uprising now in its 16th month, is in a “real situation of war.”

“We are witnessing a real situation of war,” the state news agency SANA quoted Assad as telling a meeting of the new Syrian cabinet.

However, he insisted that “when one is in a state of war, all our policies and capabilities must be used to secure victory.”

Meanwhile, AFP reported, the United States on Tuesday said that a “desperate” Assad was slowly losing his grip on power, citing recent defections of army officers and soldiers to neighboring Turkey and Jordan.

A lot of them were population exchanges (or forced deportation) from all over the Balkans and the Aegean. Greece sent a lot Muslim Turks to Turkey and visa versa.

The Arimean massacre was not a population exchange.
