GENEVA, (ST)_ The Republic ‘s Presidency Political and Media Advisor Dr. Butheina Shaaban stressed that the Syrian people are eligible to decide their own good and not the Western countries and their hirelings in the region.

She stressed that the reason behind what is taking place in Syria”is a lot of intervention practiced by 83 states, and sending a lot of money and foreign terrorists to Syria,”calling for”cessation of hostilities, terrorism, and the launch of a political process in which the Syrians decide the future of their country,”as demanded by Geneva 1st.
She explained that the ballot boxes have the word on choosing the leadership in Syria, calling for the creation of an appropriate atmosphere to start the political process and not jump to it at a time when the country ablaze.”
As for the “efforts made to deliver aid to Homs” Shaaban said the Syrian government “has a program for Syria as a whole with the Red Cross and Red Crescent and UN agencies and humanitarian aid of food and medicine is delivered daily for every place in Syria”.
Shaaban emphasized that the important thing for the Syrian official delegation and the 23 million Syrians is to solve the problem of the return of the displaced citizens and to rebuild Syria as wanted by the Syrians.
