Minister of Information: Doha Meeting is a New Form of External Intervention

 

 

 

DAMASCUS,(ST)- “The  current meeting in Doha comprising  personalities and organizations of the Syrian opposition abroad, in the presence of Arab foreign ministers , is but  a new form  of foreign interference, marketing  a new form of  Istanbul Council at the international, regional, local and people levels,” said  Minister of Information,  Omran al-Zou’bi  on Thursday evening, in an interview  to the Syrian TV.

” The initiatives proposed  to Doha meeting were US made,” the Minister said , adding it is normal to have a variety of opposition in Syria, but it is humiliating and even insulting to meet under the instructions , agenda and financial support of others,”.

“The leadership in Syria, led by President Bashar Al-Assad believes in dialogue between  effective  forces and parties which own  political programs and visions,  not between  the opposition and the government if those forces  actually seek Syria’s interest,” he noted.

Syria’s people geography, history and culture is targeted

The minister stressed that Syria ‘s people, geography, history and culture  have been always targeted by invaders and  enemies , because  Syria has been always  the castle of Arab nationalism, civilization and secularism.

Terrorist groups will be exterminated

He noted that terrorist groups will not succeed in Syria, because they do not have the incubating  environment,  and , in general, the Syrians are not extremists  nor intellectually or behaviorally.

The Minister viewed the  Ottoman  project as but a fabulous project  nested  in the mind of Recep Tayyip Erdogan,  who believes that he can achieve it through extremist religious groups , stressing that this project will  undermine  his  career , political future and his government.

“The only option which can succeed in Syria is sitting at the table of  national dialogue,  which is  open to everyone  and for the sake of Syria,” he said , noting that such a dialogue  will conclude  results governed by  the will of the people of Syria , which is the decision-maker at the ballot box.

A war of terrorism against Syria

Minister al-Zou’bi explained that the war against Syria is but  a war of terror. He underscored   that withstanding this  terrorism is not only  a  Syrian constitutional responsibility  ,  but an international duty ,  noting that there  are  UN resolutions  which stress that all States should  combat terrorism.

Minister al-Zoubi pointed out that any consensus decision by any international side  should compel  Turkey, Qatar and many other countries to refrain from exporting terrorism to Syria ,  and then maintaining a solution will not take a long time , under security administrative, and social solutions  and reconciliations.

The minister continued that what matters Syria of  the role of  the UN envoy Lakhdar al-Ibrahimi is to achieve the UN six-point initiative , foremost halting violence  and eliminating reasons behind it , namely the infiltration  of terrorists, financing and arming them.

“The talk of civil war in Syria is  unrealistic.  What is happening is that the Syrians are facing  a foreign- backed  terrorism ,” the minister explained.

On the  recent anti-Syrian statements  made by  Nabil al-Aaraby , Arab League secretary General, the minister said that ” al-Araby ‘s statements  revealed his  personal political attitude , which is also a partial reflection of  his foundation, thereby  it is no longer possible to talk about the role  of the true, positive  or honest mediator  of the Arab League .”

  He stressed that Qatari leaders are not the focal  or reference to any moral matter, but could be a reference to the crime, murder , bloodshed and the destruction of national sovereignties  and the return back of mandate and occupation to the Arab nation.

Syria’s support for the Palestinians is behind attacking it

“The Syrian people are punished, because they considered  the  question of Palestine as their own “, the minister said, adding that the  Syrian and Palestinian peoples  face the same  enemy,  therefore the Palestinian people, are entitled ,  nationally, morally and humanly not to allow  attempts aiming at undermining Syria. 

On the key role played by the Syrian media under the crisis, Minister al-Zou’bi made it clear  that the both the  government and private media  continue performing set responsibilities. He made assurances  to the Syrians  that nobody can silence  this media,  because there are options,  “we are working on our TV channels  broadcast via Internet and there are about 22 friendly  stations that broadcast news and convey facts , in cooperation with the Ministry of Information and the Syrian Radio and TV Station”.
