Al-Kuzbari stresses rejection of any external interference in the work of the committee of discussing the constitution

Geneva (ST): Head of the national delegation to the meetings of committee of discussing the constitution in Geneva, Ahmad al-Kuzbari affirmed rejection of any external interference in the committee’s work.

In a phone call with the Syrian TV channel, al-Kuzbari stressed that the  committee is led and by Syria, and the UN, which facilitates its work,  must not allow any interference in its work. 

In reply to a question about the meeting of the US official, James Jeffrey, with the other delegations, al-Kuzbari said that the West’s interventions and its attempt to direct the other delegations has been done in previous meetings in an underhand manner, but during this round, it has became explicit through statements of Jeffrey and his meetings with these delegations, and this affirms what the Syrian state had announced earlier about Western interventions  in the political track, noting that  now this intervention extends to the committee’s work, and we will not accept it at all, and the UN should not allow this intervention because it is the party which  facilitates the work of the committee .

Regarding yesterday’s meeting, al-Kuzbari pointed out that we have an agreed upon agenda, which is discussing basic national principles, and the national delegation stressed on the first day of the meetings the importance of the principle of adhering to the national identity that gathers the Syrian people. He also stressed that the national identity is the way to boost belonging to the homeland in the face of all the ideas and projects that constitute a threat to territorial integrity of Syria and unity of Syrian people.

Al-Kuzbari pointed out that during yesterday’s session that lasted for three hours, the national delegation submitted points of regulations because what has been submitted by some parties runs contrary to the principle and the agenda agreed upon.

He concluded that it is premature to talk about results as we are still in the second session because of the suspension of meetings due to the coronavirus infections.
