Haddad: No One Can Demand Resignation of Legitimate President Al-Assad

World

MOSCOW-The Syrian ambassador to Russia Riyad Haddad stressed on Tuesday that no external power, including the US, can demand the resignation of legitimate President Al-Assad.

Syrian President Bashar Assad was elected legitimately and no one can demand his resignation, Haddad said, according to Sputnik International.

On Monday, US President Barack Obama said that “the situation in Syria could only be resolved by forming a new government without President Al-Assad.”

 

“No one can demand the resignation of Bashar Assad. He was elected the legal way,” Haddad said at a round table in Moscow. “It is unacceptable for any state, including the United States, to interfere in the internal affairs of another country.”

According to Haddad, more than 60 percent of Syrian citizens support President Al-Assad, but the so-called “opposition” groups are well-organized and supported from abroad to oppose the government.

A terrorist war broke out in Syria in 2011, since then government forces have been fighting several terrorist groups including the so-called “moderate opposition” and the terrorist organization calling itself the “Islamic State” (ISIS) which has seized large areas in Syria and Iraq.
