Syrians’ Interests are the Priority

Syria’s official delegation to Geneva has presented a statement on behalf of the steadfast Syrian Arab people through the words of Foreign Minister, the head of the Syrian delegation, Walid al-Moallem . Through this statement, al-Moallem explained in details what happened in Syria and outlined the clear vision of the Syrian people and government to resolve the crisis.

Al-Moallem stressed that Syria will not abandon the national principles adding that coming to Geneva was to stop the advance of the Mongols and the Tatars to the region and to prevent the collapse of the entire Middle East .

Indeed, Syria’s official delegation succeeded in expressing the real position of Syrian people as well as the directives of president Bashar al-Assad. Hence, the Syrian delegation dealt with the first day discourses with high national spirit emphasizing on Syria’s sovereignty, and the Syrians’ rights and interests  as a priority in any negotiations. It is impossible to abandon any of Syrian people’s rights.

Of course, there are many important notes concerning the participating delegations’ speeches in the Geneva2 conference. But the most noticeable speech is that of the Switzerland Foreign Minister Didier Burkhalter, who said that those here today must listen to the legitimate aspirations of the Syrian people from across the spectrum. The Swiss Foreign Minister called for the participation of all opposition in the conference.

The so-called “opposition” which is presented at Geneva , didn’t have any political program or specific or clear path to halt the bloodshed and stop terrorism in Syria. They are but political tools of those countries which do not want the good for Syria. They are the political arm of the terrorist groups that are destroying everything in Syria , schools, worship houses, government establishments, and kill Syrian citizens without distinction . In this sense, the hands of this opposition are filled with the blood of the Syrians.

Therefore negotiations of the Geneva 2 conference must lead to an international conviction about combating terrorism. In addition, the US must accept the necessity of a political solution and stop support for terrorism as to reach to the desired results of this conference .
Hence, Syrian people has a great confidence that the official delegation, authorized to represent it in Geneva will do its best to restore peace and security to all Syrian territories.
