Shaaban: Holding the presidential elections on time is a challenge to the will of the Western countries that have conspired against Syria.

On May 29th, the Special Adviser in the Presidency of the Republic, Dr. Buthaina Shaaban, affirmed that holding the presidential elections on time and Dr. Bashar Al-Assad’s victory in the post of President of the Republic is in itself a challenge to the will of the Western countries that conspired against Syria 10 years ago.

In an interview with Syrian TV, Dr. Shaaban indicated that the  countries that supported terrorism in Syria were the same that disrupted the presidential elections.

Dr. Shaaban said that the Syrian people challenged all Western regimes that tried to dissuade them from participating in this event and went out to all the squares to say their word.

Dr. Shaaban emphasized that the relationship between President al-Assad and the people is reciprocal, and that the message sent by his Excellency on the occasion of winning the elections yesterday came as an answer and a challenge to all that the West thought could discourage this people.

Dr. Shaaban pointed out that throughout its history, Syria has not given up the option of resistance, and had it not been for its steadfastness there would have been no  victory.

Dr. Shaaban added: “We are the rightful owners, and the Syrian people today have defeated all malicious propaganda that was trying to create a rift   between them and their leadership.”

Dr. Shaaban concluded by saying: “ We have mercy on the souls of the martyrs, we wish a speedy recovery for the wounded, and we salute every Syrian citizen who has persevered in this country. We affirm that the awareness that the Syrian people have arrived at today will necessarily be reflected in serious and continuous work in the coming years.”
