MOHAMED MORSI (INTERPRETER): "After this regime comes to an end, the Syrian people will choose, with their own free will, a regime that represents it and places Syria in its right place among democratic countries."

Burma's President Thein Sein also spoke to the General Assembly.

THEIN SEIN (INTERPRETER): "Myanmar should be viewed from a different and new perspective."

The former general said his country is on an unstoppable path toward democracy. The United States said this week that it will begin easing restrictions on the import of Burmese products.

And Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad avoided most of his usual attacks on the United States and Israel. This was Mr. Ahmadinejad's eighth and final message to the General Assembly.
