Syria Ready to Solve Issue of Egyptians Involved in Events: Al-Mikdad

DAMASCUS, (ST) – Deputy Foreign and Expatriates Minister Faisal al-Mikdad has stressed Syria’s readiness to find a solution to the issue of the Egyptians who had got involved in Syria events.

Al-Mikdad, who was speaking on Monday to an Egyptian media delegation visiting Syria, welcomed efforts that may be exerted by  the Egyptian media or civil society organizations to explain what is really going on in Syria to the Egyptian public opinion, so as to put an end to the anti-Syria media campaign and the fabrications being promoted  by some parties to urge some misled Egyptians to join the armed terrorist groups in Syria.

Al-Mikdad’s meeting with the Egyptian delegation focused also on the situation in Syria, the developments in the Arab region and the Western challenges aiming to fragment the Arab region in order to serve Israel’s hegemonic schemes and undermine the Palestinian cause.

The Deputy Foreign Minister stressed the historical relations between the two peoples of Syria and Egypt , and affirmed the important role of media institutions of both countries in serving common interests.

For their part, the Egyptian journalists asserted their keenness to  preserve Syria’s sovereignty and independence. They voiced solidarity with the Syrian people in the confrontation of the terrorist campaign which has been targeting Syria with the help of some western countries and their tools in several Arab states.

Members of the guest delegation, who condemned the Arab League’s suspicious role in the conspiracy against Syria, expressed their willingness and determination to uncover the targets of the West and Israel-backed aggression which Syria is facing on behalf of the whole Arab nation. They affirmed that this aggression aims at weakening the Arab nation and undermining its sovereignty and independence.
