DAMASCUS, (ST) – Minister of Information, Omran al-Zoubi, slammed Doha meeting branded it as another attempt to revive the “Istanbul Council” under a new name.
Al-Zoubi remarks came during the Memorial Service to Commemorate the martyrdom of Press TV correspondent, Maya Nasser, in the terrorist attack which targeted the General Staff Headquarters in Damascus .
“the meeting aimed at setting up an new formulation for the opposition to conspire against Syria accompanied by a media propaganda in a desperate attempt to undermine the morale of the Syrians who adhere to their homeland and the sovereignty of their decision,”al-Zoubi added.
The Doha meeting ,the minister went on to say,is nothing but a political hallucination, indicating that we should look at the whole issue from a national perspective and its stance towards terrorism, the killing, the violence, arms, compromising the national sovereignty and the national unity instead of looking at it from the angle of the political components of Doha Coalition.
Al-Zoubi stressed that “Doha Council will be treated similarily as Istanbul Council, adding that the Syrian leadership and state insist on dialogue between the political forces and the representatives of all spectra of the Syrian people so that any upcoming government will be obliged to the outcome of this dialogue.
The minister made it clear that martyrs will pave the way for victory in Syria,
“the conspirators seek to prolong their aggression on Syria in an attempt to destroy the state’s economic and scientific capabilities, “al-Zoubi confirmed ,so all these attempts will enhance the Syrians’ unity and their rallying behind their leadership and consolidate their commitment to their constant principles.
Al-Zoubi highly praised the Syrian media and their cadres as well as the journalists’ sacrifices.
“we are proud of those who have been kidnapped or martyred or those who are still performing their duties and have respect for their sacrifices,” said al-Zoubi. .
The Iranian Ambassador in Damascus Mohammad Raouf Sheibani said that martyr Maya conveyed the truth to the world opinion without distortion at a time all facts have been distorted under the US-Zionist domination of the international media.
