   Syrians are marking the second anniversary of the start of the civil war in the country.

 
  The two-year-long conflict has cost almost 70-thousand lives and reportedly forced a million to flee the country.
 
  The anniversary comes at the time when arming the Syrian rebels is being considered as a possible option.
 
  Britain and France have been pressing other EU countries to back their proposal to lift an arms restriction1 currently imposed on Syria, and the European Union is scheduled to review that embargo2 in May.
 
  The Syrian government though is describing the suggestion as a "flagrant violation3" of the principles of international law.
 
  The Russian government has also opposed the suggestion, saying "it is not an option".
 
  And Dong Manyuan, an international strategic analyst4 at China Institute of International Studies, says arming the rebels could make things worse.
 
  "Arming the rebels will only further add fuel to the fire. It is not practical for the rebels to overthrow5 the Assad government, at least in the short term. The government still has wide support among citizens. Its control over the military forces, administrative6 organs and natural resources still prevails. It is difficult to break the power balance unless there is a direct military intervention7."
 
  Germany, Austria and Sweden are said to be among the EU countries reluctant to lift the arms embargo.
 
  There's also been some suggestion from the United Nations that lifting the arms embargo will make the job of humanitarian8 agencies "more difficult".
