Syrian National Forum: Geneva II meeting must adopt ‘practical steps’ to combat terrorism

DAMASCUS,(ST)_ The Syrian National Forum has underscored the necessity of convening the Geneva II meeting without precondition and without encroachment on Syria’s sovereignty, unity and national independence.

The forum, which was held on Saturday by the Popular Reconciliations’ Central Committee in Syria, stressed that the upcoming Geneva meeting must adopt ‘practical decisions’ to combat terrorism, eradicate it, obliterate its resources and stop bloodshed in the country.

The participants in the forum, according to the official news agency, want the Geneva II meeting to pave the way for reaching a political solution to the ongoing crisis.

They see that the solution must be based on an essential principle that only the Syrians are able to shape their country’s political future far away from foreign dictations and intervention.

In addition, they clarified that the Syrian Arab Republic’s delegation to Geneva represents the Syrian people and express its aspirations under national principles and President Bashar Al-Assad’s directives.

Opposition abroad represents their masters

The participants in the forum said that the opposition abroad represent but their masters, rejecting suspicious pressures to keep Iran away from the Geneva II conference.  

Syrian parties, dignitaries and Non-Governmental organizations took part in the forum entitled “Syrian people have the final word in Geneva II”.
