(CNN) -- The collapse of Syria's regime appears inevitable, NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said Thursday.

"I think now it's only a question of time," he told reporters at a news conference in Brussels, Belgium, at which he and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte announced the deployment of two Patriot air defense batteries to Turkey's border with Syria.

"I urge the regime to stop violence, to realize what is the actual situation, and initiate a process that leads to the accommodation of the legitimate aspirations of the Syrian people," Rasmussen said.
