Zoubi: Presidential Elections will open the door to eliminate the Crisis
DAMASCUS,(ST)_ Information Minister Omran Zoubi stressed that the importance of presidential elections in Syria, due June 3rd, stems from the fact that it will open the door to end the crisis in Syria at a time when terrorism supporting forces, in the U.S, Europe and the Gulf are working to prolong this crisis.
In an interview with Al-Manar TV yesterday, Zoubi added that the presidential elections are held according to the Constitution and the law, and that the vast majority of the Syrian citizens in Syria are in areas under the control of the Syrian government and army, will participate in the elections.
Zoubi indicated that the war being waged against Syria is an aggression targeting the Syrian state to dismantle it, destroy its potential and its Arab, regional and international role, pointing out that supporters of terrorism do not want President Bashar al-Assad because he maintains the national Syria state, noting that more than 200 media outlets are inside Syria, beside 70 TV channel entered Syria during the past few days meeting the candidates and citizens in the street.
Zoubi continued that terrorist groups might try to disrupt the electoral process, but the strong will of the Syrians indicates that on June 3rd all Syrians will cast their votes at the polling stations not to vote for a particular candidate, rather to reject terrorism, murder,destruction and the conspiracy against Syria.
The Minister called on all the Syrians who love their country to participate in the Election Day because such participation is a national duty, in every sense of the word, considering that one who believes that his voice is not important, commits a grave national and political mistake.
On the UN approach to appoint a new mediator to Syria, Zoubi explained that any international mediator must be impartial,neutral, objective and ethical towards the crisis in Syria as a whole, pointing out that UN former envoy Lakhdar Brahimi was not impartial or neutral, nor objective or transparent in his subjugation to the requests of the Americans and some regional countries.
