"To think that Assad's departure would mean the removal of all the problems is a very short-sighted position and everyone understands that if this happened the conflict would most likely continue," the ITAR-TASS news agency quoted Medvedev as telling Russian reporters at a summit in Seoul.
He said Syria should at all costs avoid the fate of Libya where NATO carried out air strikes that played a key role in the downfall of Muammar Gaddafi.
"There is no democracy there," Medvedev was quoted as saying. "There is no Gaddafi there but there is no democracy there either, no-one knows how long this will last. This state has yet to remain on the map as a single entity."
