defense of our friend while the assault on the city has moved so fast that it appears that the why p.g. the two measures that they've taken have done nothing to slow down the turkish assault i know the turks are seeing that probably by the end of whedon's day the entire city will be encircled at that point then they me try to use their military pressure to bring a political solution to perhaps see to the why p.g. and to others this is time to give up your fight and move away from the area and then if he refused to do that we expect there to be a full assault on the city remember there are hundreds of thousands of people enough for in many of them of move there. because of this ongoing assault the city has no water no internet and what we were hearing from on the ground is that in many homes four or five families are living there no because there's just so many people the president said at the weekend he expects there to be turkish soldiers in the center of our frame within days if they were considering the human and humanitarian issues no he says the city is encircled we wait to see in
