Saudi regime’s bankruptcy

It seems that the Saudi regime has become bankrupt as all its evil conspiracies and  sinister attempts to destroy the Syrian state failed because of the heroic steadfastness of the Syrian people and the valiant deeds of the Syrian army in fighting the takfiri terrorism exported to Syria by Al Saud and other conspirators.

The Saudi regime’s announcement to send troops to Syria came as natural response to demands based on research centers in the US and the U.S. Secretary of Defense’s statements to form ground troops to fight ISIS because the US doesn’t want to cooperate with the Syrian army that is fighting ISIS and takfiri terrorism on behalf of the whole world.

The Saudi move shows that Saudi Arabia is implementing the US and Zionist will. It seems that after the victories of the Syrian armed forces and its allies, the conspirators and financers have got fed up with their tools on the ground who are reeling, and that they decided to get involved themselves.

Any ground intervention in the Syrian territories without the government’s approval would be an act of aggression that has to be confronted.

Syrian people will be ready to confront the new adventure of the Saudi regime and foil it.

The Saudi regime ordered Riyadh opposition delegation to withdraw from Geneva negotiations  because of the landslide political defeat inflicted upon them.

The Security Council resolution No. 2254 states that the Syrian people alone have the right to determine their future and that dialogue should be Syrian- led and one among the Syrians away from foreign interference and without preconditions.

Contrary to that, the statements of the “Riyadh opposition” delegation, even before they went to Geneva, were full of preconditions, including those about the humanitarian situation. When the three terrorist bombings happened in al-Sayyeda Zainab suburb near Damascus, the crime was internationally condemned, especially by the UN Secretary General, the Security Council and the European Union.

The “Riyadh opposition” delegation however did not issue such a condemnation statement, as it was clear that they received no instructions from their Saudi masters to do so. The “Riyadh opposition” delegation had already decided to walk out of the dialogue, particularly after the victories made by the Syrian Arab Army, mainly those in the northern countryside of Aleppo and breaking the long time terrorist siege of Nubbul and al-Zahraa towns.

The Riyadh delegation, who talked about humanitarian issues, would feel happy just like our people were happy with breaking the three-and-a-half year siege of 70 thousand locals of Nubbul and al-Zahraa, but they packed their luggage and left.

They didn’t feel happy simply because their affiliation is not to the Syrian people. They only implement the instructions of those who are conspiring against Syria and its people. The “Riyadh opposition” delegation did not go to Geneva to engage in a Syrian-Syrian dialogue. They went only because of the pressure practiced on them, and it was the decision of their operators of in Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Qatar to undermine the political process.

Syria goes for a Syrian- Syrian dialogue without any preconditions and will not comply with any precondition set by any party whatsoever.

 The two Vienna Communiqués and the Security Council resolutions assert de Mistura’s responsibility of forming the opposition delegation and also stress on having the broadest possible representation of the opposition groups. However, de Mistura started picking names in a personal capacity and was being selective and named some of those whom he selected as advisors. The representation of the opposition groups should be the broadest one possible in compliance with the resolution No. 2254, which cited the opposition groups of Moscow, Cairo and Riyadh.

 It is strange that de Mistura did not meet with the delegation of the opposition from inside Syria. They have stayed in Syria all through the past period and they are national opposition who have ideas different from those of the government.

No one in the opposition can claim to be the only representative of the whole opposition. We hope de Mistura would take this point into consideration if we wanted to have a real and healthy atmosphere and abide by the two Vienna communiqués and the Security Council’s resolution.

If the international community wants to resolve the Syrian crisis peacefully, they should stop their interference in the Syrian affairs and facilitate the conducting  a Syrian-Syrian dialogue without any precondition.
