Syria’s delegation to the 18th international meeting in the Astana format: Ending the illegal presence of any foreign forces in Syria brings the curtain down on the last chapter of the aggression
The delegation of the Syrian Arab Republic to the 18th international meeting on Syria in the Astana format affirmed that ending the illegal presence of any foreign forces on Syrian territory is the way to return the situation to normal and bring the curtain down on the last chapter of the aggression against Syria, stressing that the current Turkish regime is the guarantor of terrorist groups as this regime lacks the slightest degree of credibility and reliability.
The head of the delegation, Dr. Ayman Susan, said in a press conference at the conclusion of the meeting in the Kazakh capital, Nur-Sultan, that “the Turkish regime is beating the drums of war and continues to target Syrian lands and kill innocent people under false pretexts. Erdogan and his regime officials realize the lies they claim, and they will not be able to escape or hide the accumulated internal political and economic crises and export them abroad, and try to exploit this in the upcoming presidential elections in Turkey in the hope that it would bring to an end the escalating deterioration suffered by a large segment of the Turkish people.
The Turkish regime’s exploitation of the suffering of the displaced Syrians to serve its expansionist ambitions by seeking to establish the so-called safe zone in northern Syria represents a flagrant violation of international laws
Susan added that “the Turkish regime’s exploitation of the suffering of the displaced Syrians to serve its expansionist ambitions by seeking to establish the so-called safe zone in northern Syria represents a flagrant violation of international and humanitarian laws and contradicts the understandings and outputs of Astana and constitutes a serious threat to peace and security in the region and undermines all previous understandings under international auspices that were made on the lines of de-escalation zones.
Susan stressed that the current Turkish regime is the guarantor of terrorist groups and lacks the lowest degree of credibility and reliability, as it has spoiled the relationship between the Syrian and Turkish peoples and formed the main reservoir of terrorism and extremism. The Turkish regime is hostile to all its neighbors and compromises with others to achieve its ambitions and illusions that govern its thinking and policies, which has accumulated failure after failure.
Susan explained that border security between any two countries anywhere in the world is a joint responsibility of neighboring countries and ensuring border security is by respecting the sovereignty of neighboring countries and the sanctity of their territories and cooperation between them and not by unilateral measures because border security is a comprehensive concept and the security of one cannot be guaranteed at the expense of the security of others.
The current threats of the Turkish regime are a continuation of its continuous aggression against Syria and the crimes it has committed and is still committing against the Syrians
Susan pointed out that the current threats of the Turkish regime are a continuation of its unending aggression against Syria and the crimes it has committed against the Syrians in terms of killing, destroying, stealing their wealth, cutting off their water and trying to give a Turkish veil to the occupied areas in Idlib. The Assistant Foreign Minister indicated that these acts by the Turkish regime amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity which call for a serious position by the international community in order to put an end to the behavior of this rogue regime, which poses a threat to peace and security in the region and the world.
The head of the delegation of the Syrian Arab Republic stressed that the illegal American presence on Syrian territory aims first and foremost to impede the consolidation of stability in Syria to serve Israel’s interests in the region, and that this occupation bears the main responsibility for the suffering of the Syrians due to the illegal unilateral coercive measures imposed on the Syrian Government by the US administration, the European Union in addition to the US theft of the Syrians’ wealth of wheat and oil in a flagrant violation of the most basic principles of international law and human rights.
Susan pointed out that the support provided by the US occupation to its tools of separatist groups comes in the same context and provides the pretext for the Turkish regime to attack Syria, which shows the complicity and undeclared partnership of these parties in the aggression against Syria.
Susan said that the Syrian Arab Republic reaffirms that ending the illegal presence of any foreign forces on Syrian territory is the way to return the situation to normal and bring the curtain down on the last chapter of the aggression against Syria, stressing that the Syrians have the right and legitimacy to expel the occupiers by all means guaranteed by international law in order to preserve the sovereignty, unity and sanctity of the Syrian land.
Susan called on the separatist militias that sold the soil of the homeland and agreed to be a tool for hostile schemes to stop their practices that would endanger the homeland and its territorial integrity politically and economically.
Syria, after the achievements made in the fight against terrorism, continues to work to consolidate stability and overcome the repercussions of the terrorist aggression
Susan pointed out that Syria, after the achievements made in the fight against terrorism, continues to work to consolidate stability and overcome the repercussions of the terrorist aggression by expanding national reconciliations and settling the conditions of citizens thanks to successive amnesty decrees, providing all conditions and facilities for the return of the displaced to their homeland, and securing the requirements for a decent life by launching a reconstruction process to redeem what has been destroyed by terrorism despite the unjust sanctions imposed on the Syrian people and the obstacles placed by hostile countries to revive their faltering project in Syria.
Susan indicated that despite the difficult economic conditions due to the unjust war on Syria and the limited resources, the Syrian government is making every effort to alleviate the living suffering of the citizens and provide them with assistance without discrimination in all regions of the country. In this respect, the Syrian Government welcomes any initiatives to supplement its efforts in this field on the basis of respecting Syria’s sovereignty and not politicizing humanitarian aid.
The issue of the missing and kidnapped by the Turkish regime and terrorist groups is a primary priority for the Syrian government in order to return them to their families and end their suffering
Susan stressed that the issue of the missing and kidnapped by the Turkish regime and terrorist groups is a primary priority for the Syrian government in order to return to their families and end their suffering, and the Syrian Government will spare no effort for this and stresses the importance of exerting all pressure on the Turkish regime to stop maneuvering and exploiting the suffering of the missing and kidnapped to serve its agendas and aggression against Syrian.
Susan pointed out that Switzerland’s complete dependence on Western policies and its accession to the coercive measures, whether against Syria or Russia, means that Switzerland has abandoned the historical neutrality it is known for, and therefore Switzerland is no longer a valid place for the continuation of the meetings of the Constitution Discussion Committee. Susan clarified that this matter is currently subject to consultation between the concerned parties, indicating that holding successful meetings to resolve the crisis requires providing good conditions.
An independent, renewable, united and united Syria will remain so thanks to the steadfastness of its people and the sacrifices of its people
Susan stressed that an independent, renewable and united Syria will remain so thanks to the steadfastness of its people and the sacrifices of its sons, and that those who beat the drums of war will taste the bitterness of defeat, and that the occupation will inevitably end, and the whole world will tell the story of the emergence of a new world order from Syria, a world where justice prevails, in which everyone enjoys prosperity away from all forms of hegemony.
Susan expressed his thanks to the Republic of Kazakhstan for the reception and good organization of the meetings of the eighteenth session, and his appreciation to the friends in the Russian Federation and the Islamic Republic of Iran for their continuous support in the fight against terrorism and the consolidation of stability in Syria.
