DAMASCUS,(ST)_ “National reconciliation is the very project of the Syrian State , in which everyone should participate,” said Minister of State for National reconciliation Dr. Ali Haidar, explaining that the ministry supports all civil and popular initiatives on the ground.
In an interview with Syrian TV Tuesday night, Haidar said : “The file of the kidnapped , the detainees and absent is the preoccupation that the ministry of reconciliation deals with, calling on all citizens to cooperate with the ministry and to provide preliminary information about arrested or detained persons as a result of the current events.
Dr Haider added that the increasing kidnappings are but crimes, through which the kidnappers seek blackmailing for material gains, and not for political reasons.
He denied accusation of certain security services of such kidnappings , warning all citizens not to believe the kidnappers claiming to belong to military or security sides when showing security or military cards because these cards were stolen from martyred or kidnapped military and security men , besides the terrorists forge identity cards.
He also underlined the duty of the Syrians to provide information helping in the release of the kidnapped, as a humanitarian issue par excellence.
He continued that the crisis in Syria affected all walks of life, pointing out that addressing these effects requires emergency plans that must cover everything, especially the basic needs of citizens such as bread and fuel, stressing that reforms must go hand in hand with accountability.
“I assure all who bet on the collapse of Syria economically, that Syria is still strong and able to sustain for a long time because of the solidarity of its social structure.” The Minister stressed.
