Syria is at "tipping point," Kofi Annan says

Syria has reached a tipping point as the six-point peace plan is not being properly implemented, international envoy Kofi Annan said Tuesday in Damascus, DPA reported.

After meeting President Bashar al-Assad, Annan told reporters: "I appealed to him for bold steps now - not tomorrow, now - to create momentum for the implementation of the plan.

"We are at a tipping point. The Syrian people do not want the future to be one of bloodshed and division. Yet the killings continue and the abuses are still with us today."
