It was emphasized that a balance must be met between leader Bashar Assad and the Sunni opposition. It was determined that Nusayri, considered to be an element of 'deep state', was influential in Assad's decisions and should he not take an immediate step towards reforms, then the nation could be drawn into serious internal strife.
