Members of the General Union of Arab Intellectuals and Writers affirmed today their support for Syria in its right to preserve its independence, territorial integrity, and unity as well as for its war against terrorism.

At the annual meeting of the union, Chairman of the Jordanian Writers Association Saad Eddin Shaheen said that the participants endorsed the report of the Deputy Secretary-General, poet Youssef Shakra, who is tasked with visiting the Arab Writers Union in Syria, and adopted it in an official document, registering an official invitation to the Syrian delegation to attend the next meeting.

“The Union reiterated its support for the right of the Palestinian people to establish an independent state with Jerusalem as its capital as it is considered the first Arab issue”, Shaheen pointed out. “The Union also rejects all forms of normalization with the Israeli enemy and condemns all forms of disregard of the rights of the Palestinians”.

Members of the General Union also expressed their support for the Libyan, Yemeni, and Iraqi people, and rejected all forms of interference in their internal affairs.
