Information Minister at Youth Forum: Syria is open to peaceful solution

Damascus – Minister of Information Omran al-Zoubi said on Wednesday the Syrian media doesn’t aim to convince the West leaders about the reality of events in Syria and the region, but it wants to tell the Arab youth and street “Be aware to not fall in the trap.”

“Solidarity with Syria should not remain theoretical, yet, it should turn into realities, explanations and relaying the real images about events in Syria to the world public opinion,” the Minister said at a session for the International Youth Forum for solidarity with Syria, SANA reported.

On the crisis in Syria, the Minister stressed that the Syrian state is open to the peaceful solution.

 The Forum calls for preserving Syria’s territorial integrity

Participants at “International Youth Forum for solidarity with Syria” called for preserving Syria’s territorial integrity, affirming their principled stances against US-Zionist imperialism which led to the humanitarian crises in the world.

The participants affirmed, in a concluding session, the need for combating religious extremism as it represents a real terrorism against nations through igniting sedition and wars.

They stressed that freedom of the nations will be achieved through practicing their democratic right to select their destiny and rejecting any foreign intervention.

Need for forming wide anti-terrorism front 

Earlier, the participants called for forming a wide front to press the governments they represent to stand against the conspiracy to which Syria is exposed, pointing out to the need for forming “the Arab People’s League” instead of “the Arab US-affiliated regimes’ League.”

At the first session of the forum’s second day, the participants affirmed their support to Syria and its people, referring to the importance of launching international campaigns to lift the unfair economic sanctions on the Syrian people.

Activities of the Forum started Tuesday at Dama Rose Hotel in Damascus.

It was organized by the Revolutionary Youth Union (RYU) under the slogan “Hands Off Syria” with the participation of youth organizations from 20 Arab and foreign countries.
