Tehran, (ST) – The director of foreign news at the Iranian Mehr News Agency, Mahdi Azizi, has affirmed that the announcement of the presidential elections is a categorical embodiment of Syria’s sovereignty and another victory added to its people and army victories against the political and economic terrorism to which it has been exposed to.
“This important announcement asserts the firm resolve of the Syrian people and their leadership to thwart the enemy’s attempts to subjugate Syria, just as the destructive war against it has failed for ten years, and their practices, their economic pressures and sanctions have also failed,” Azizi said in a statement to SANA reporter in Tehran.
He stressed that the constitutional entitlements and the elections are a legitimate and sovereign national right of the Syrian people alone, and no party, entity or state has the right to interfere with them. The will of the Syrian people is strong and will not surrender to the desperate attempts that seek to undermine their determination to decide the future of their country.
Azizi indicated that, the decisive and broad participation of the Syrian people in the presidential elections will be a declaration of victory over all who have gambled on weakening this people.
