NEWYORK ,(ST)_ Syria’s permanent representative to the UN Dr. Bashar Jaafari, stressed that everything that is happening in the region is entitled “Israel’s interest” , all who are involved in the aggression on Syria only serve “the Israeli interest” and that much of the data confirms that chemical weapons were used by armed terrorist groups in order to bring in outside military intervention and aggression on Syria.
Interviewed by the Syrian al-Ikhbaria TV last night al-Jaafari disclosed Saudi attempts at the UN General Assembly to pass a draft resolution against Syria , with a series of secret meetings Saudi Arabia held with representatives of the US, France, Britain, Jordan, Morocco, Turkey, Germany and some other countries to adopt a draft resolution on chemical weapons specifically, prior to the results of the delegation of UN investigators , that holds the Syrian government responsible in advance, according to statements made by the Saudi ambassador himself in some secret meetings “to push opportunities for the use of military force against Syria, ahead.”
Jaafari stressed that this Saudi move indicates the immersion of Saudi decision-makers in escalating the crisis in Syria and in pushing things toward more confrontation and to enhance the possibilities of using the aggressive military solution against Syria.
“The course of events at the UN is focused on availing the investigators to complete their mission in cooperation with the Syrian government, on the basis of a memorandum of understanding signed between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates and the UNGA.” Jaafari said .
He regretted how the three permanent members states at the UN deal positively with the report of the UN investigators while they are involved in providing qualitative and quantitative weapons to armed groups, including chemicals.
He indicated that jamming on the UN investigators was greatly intensified when the Syrian government started understanding with the UN General Secretariat , wondering what is the Syrian government interest in using chemical weapons at a time when UN investigators are in Damascus.
” Westerners do not want to know who used chemical weapons,” Jaafari said noting the existence of a lot of data proving the Syrian government not guilty and holding the armed groups accountable for the use of chemical weapons in order to bring in outside military intervention and aggression on Syria.
Syrian-Russian cooperation at the UN is Close
Jaafari explained that Syrian –Russian cooperation at the UN is close and that Russia understands the situation very well and provided a lot of assistance throughout the crisis, as well as China, pointing a global vigilance and growing awareness and understanding among many UN members to that everything is being plotted against Syria falls in the political agenda to undermine its stability , change of its rule and placing it by force into the regional instability to eliminate the Palestinian cause in the service of Israeli interests , stressing that all what is happening in the region is entitled to serve “Israel’s interest.”
He also noted many regional groups at the UN that become resentful of Western policies and the behavior of some Arabs toward Syria and that many Western ambassadors reached the conviction that Western policies are not principled and their vision is blurry and unethical.
Victories of the Syrian Army scared who bet on what they call a re-balance of power between the government and terrorist groups
Jaafari said that the victories achieved by the Syrian Army on the ground greatly scared those who are betting on what they call a rebalancing of powers between the Syrian government and the armed terrorist groups so they had to use the file of the chemical weapons , being a very sensitive subject.
He continued that the Western countries and the Turkish government grossly violate the UN Security Council resolution on preventing terrorists from acquiring mass destruction weapons , by allowing the armed terrorist groups in Turkey to establish a laboratory for the manufacture of chemical weapons with Turkish ,Saudi Arabia and Qatari materials , to sneak the Turkish-Syrian border and the introduction and use of this chemical weapon in Syria .
On the Western threat to launch a military aggression against Syria, al-Jaafari noted that the aim of what has been promoted in the media on the preparations for the aggression is a sort of political pressure on Damascus to get concessions, noting that ” this type of western Hollywood movie is intended to raise intimidation and is, in deed a form of media terrorism.”
Jaafari noted two possibilities that this scenario aims to dramatize and get concessions and another scenario saying that armies chiefs of staff met in Amman and approved secret decisions , noting what was stated by the Jordanian Foreign Minister when he said that the meeting was planned in advance. ” This is to throw dust in the eyes, even if the meeting was innocent , a final statement would have been declared” Jaafari underscored.
” We are trying our best to convince our brothers in Jordan that their interest at least lies in self distancing from getting involved in the quagmire which some are trying to create in the region and damage Syrian-Jordanian interests”, Jaafari added , referring to the list signed by hundreds of Jordanian intellectuals and politicians against any involvement of the Jordanian government in any aggression on Syria, because this adventure only serves Israel
Everyone involved in the aggression on Syria only serves the Israeli interest
Jaafari reiterated that everyone involved in the aggression on Syria , only serves Israeli interests , noting ” from this point I want to focus on that the issue of counter-terrorism was first debated at the UN by Syrian diplomacy when we launched the first initiative to convene an international conference aimed to define terrorism and distinguish between it and the right of peoples to resist foreign occupation and the initiative was rejected by the West and decisions taken on the fight against terrorism had become a dead letter and many UN Member States do not apply them in the case of Syria.
He wondered how Saudi Arabia opened a center for counter-terrorism at the UN in New York, and is a sponsor to combat terrorism while it is engaged in it in Syria and in more than one place through the promotion of Wahhabi , Salafi and takfiri fundamentalist movements and how Turkey can be a sponsor of the so-called Alliance of Civilizations with Qatar and the two countries are engaged in the shedding of the Syrian blood.
“The situation is very complicated, but we are not alone in the arena. We have many friends who understand what is taking place on the ground and the battle now is not only Syria.” Jaafari said.
