'Morsi slams Assad at NAM summit at US bidding'

by RussiaToday

The Syrian delegation has walked out on a session of the Non-Aligned movement in Tehran. They were angered at a speech by Egyptian leader Mohammed Morsi, who called President Assad's regime oppressive.

Syria's foreign minister said the comments amounted to inciting further violence in the country. RT spoke to journalist and broadcaster Neil Clark, who believes Morsi's statement was unbalanced at best.
