President Al-Assad: Forming an international alliance to counter terrorism, an alliance to eradicate wahabism imperative

DAMASCUS, (ST)-“there is a dire need to form an international alliance to counter terrorism plus an Islamic one to uproot wahabi ideology simply as the wahabism is the main problem as regards the connection amongst religions, ‘underscored President Bashar Al-Assad .

President Al-Assad’s remark was made during a meeting on Sunday with a delegation of the Russian MPs, social and religious dignitaries, headed by Sergey Gavrilov, Chairman of the Property Committee at the Russian State Duma.

“Russia’s stance  towards Syria and the region is  important. .It  is based on the international principles, laws and conventions as well as it eyes  the peoples’ interests in general and the Syrian and Russian people in particular, “underlined President Al-Assad.

The President made it clear  that the pressures to which Syria is exposed are similar to the pressures on Russia and China since many years because the history of the west is a colonial one and the western states have problems with any independent states, whether they were  small or big.

The delegation’s members, for their part, said that their visit’s aim  is to voice  solidarity with the Syrian people who courageously confront terrorism.

” Syria ,which combats terrorism, is not only defend its interests or the interests of the region, but it also defends peace and security across the globe, “asserted the delegation.

They  thanked President Al-Assad and the Syrian people for their stance in solidarity with the Russian people after the terrorist act which took place in the Russian city of Volgograd last month, considering that those who stand behind the terrorist operation in Russia and Syria are the same.
