Syrians Make a Distinction between Friends and Foes

DAMASCUS,(ST)_ ” When opposition groups are not rooted  in the homeland  , nor able  to win people ‘s support, they will be mere external tools, used for the destruction of the country, said Syria ‘s  Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Dr. Faisal Miqdad  on Wednesday.

 “After the failure of the US- established  Istanbul council, the Americans tried to bring in  a new frame in Doha, at the expense of the Arab causes”, al-Miqdad said  in an interview with Russia Today TV, noting ” The world seeks one direction  and they go for the opposite”.

 He added that the crisis in Syria should be settled within a peaceful context, and national dialogue, but the first decision taken by the opposition coalition in Doha was refusal of national dialogue and persistence to continue spreading chaos in Syria.

 He said that the Syrians can make distinctions between their friends and foes, noting that the Arab League knows their enemy and Syrians distinguish the friend from the enemy, so Arab League has become and establishment of ashes, because it is subjugated to foreign instructions.

 “We will defend our people by legitimate means, guaranteed by the International law, the Humanitarian Law and the UN Charter”, al-Miqdad said, adding that all indicators point that  a foreign intervention in Syria is indeed impossible and difficult.
