New Czech Initiative Stresses Solidarity with Syria

PRAGUE- A group of Czech intellectuals and journalists have announced the establishment of a new initiative for solidarity with Syria.

The initiative stresses its support for the efforts being exerted to attain a political solution to the crisis in Syria based on respecting the political and economic sovereignty of the Syrian State and on maintaining the integrity of the Syrian land.

In its constitutional document, of which  SANA had received a copy, the initiative affirmed that Syria alone, without any foreign interference, should find its own democratic example to lead the Syrian society and state in an a way that goes in harmony with the Syrian historical traditions and cultural legacy.

Founders of the initiative expressed their respect to the deeply-rooted state of national unity and tolerance prevailing among all sects of the Syrian society, warning that such human values are being deliberately targeted.

The initiative pointed out that it seeks wider influence in popular circles in the Czech and in Slovakia, and that it is ready to cooperate with all foreign parties, groups and individuals who share it the same goals.

The initiative also stressed that it “supports all the Syrian political forces and social parties which seek bigger political and economic participation by Syrian citizens in the democratic process without any kind of ethnic or religious distinction.
