Jamil speaks to RT about crisis in Syria
MOSCOW,(ST)_Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs sees that the political solution to crisis in Syria is ‘inevitable’ sooner or later.
Dr.Qadri Jamil told RT on Tuesday that the political solution is the only way to solve the crisis in Syria, adding: “those who believe that it is possible to apply the Tunisian, or Libyan, or Egyptian experiences on Syria do understand neither history and geography nor Syria’s civilization.”
Syria has always been ‘invaders’ cemetery’, said Jamil.
As for Russia’s stance towards crisis in Syria, Deputy PM said: “since the very beginning, this stance was balanced and objective and calls for dialogue.”
He added that the Syrian government is adopting the same stance through the political plan endorsed to resolve crisis in Syria.
Jamil reminded of remarks made by ex-UN Envoy to Syria, Kofi Anna, in which he unveiled reason of thwarting his task as some countries do not abide by what they say.
“Sometimes, the west was talking about the need for bring about a political solution and doing the opposite; however, some Gulf countries are still calling for military solution, which is no longer acceptable.”
He stressed that the mediator (UN envoy) must be honest.
On the other hand, Jamil raised the problem of turning deaf ear to the acts of terrorist groups, including the blacklisted al-Qaeda-linked Jabhat al-Nusra, in Syria.
“The countries that support terrorism seeks to fuel sectarian conflict in Syria and the region as well,” Jamil said, noting that Jabhat al-Nusra clashes with armed groups as each has a project that has nothing to do with building modern Syria.
He warned against spreading chaos in Syria through terrorist groups, such as Jabhat al-Nusra.
West’s crocodile tears
Talking about western sanctions, Jamil said: “These sanctions are but collective punishment to the Syrian people, both pro-government and opposition, for its stances and history.”
He asserted that the sanction caused a humanitarian crisis which the Syrian government is working to avoid it.
“No one has counted the citizens killed by the US-European sanctions so thus,” the Deputy PM said.
He asked: “Why humanitarian aid does not reach the Syrian displaced people’s camps abroad?” adding: “No one can claim that it is difficult to reach there.”
“The miserable situation of the hundreds of thousands of the Syrian displaced citizens abroad unmasks crocodile tears of the west over the Syrian people,” Jamil said.
Fabius ‘s remark
Commenting on the French Foreign Minister, Laurent Fabius ‘s remark on crisis in Syria, the Deputy PM sees that there is a difference between this remark and the precious ones.
“Fabius has started to see facts which he was ignoring. This is a beginning to recognize inevitability of the political plan,” Jamil concluded.
