‘ERDOGAN’S GOVERNMENT FACILITATED TERRORISTS’ ENTRY TO LATTAKIA’
Mar 31, 2014
Damascus, (SANA) Minister of Information Omran al-Zoubi said the
government of Turkish PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan has regularly facilitated
the entry of the armed terrorist groups into Kassab area in Lattakia
countryside.
In an interview with the Syrian TV late Sunday, Minister al-Zoubi
considered Erdogan’s acts as a violation of international resolutions
calling for convicting all forms of terrorist acts.
He said Erdogan’s acts prove that Syrian leadership was right when it
said that Erdogan and his government are involved in international
terrorism, adding “the persons who entered Lattakia northern
countryside are neither opposition members nor Syrian citizens, they
are groups of armed and trained foreigners with certain purposes
and agendas.”
Minister al-Zoubi said the Syrian Army and Armed Forces have foiled
the attack of terrorists who are all of non-Syrian nationalities.
He stressed that no one can say that Syria has foiled the Geneva2
conference, highlighting that Syria has been calling, since the
beginning of the crisis, for a political course that leads to
solutions.
Al-Zoubi said the stance of Syrian state was rejected by the so-called
“coalition” and its backers because they were not seeking a political
solution but fragmenting the state and moving it to a direction that
serves the US and Israeli interests in the region.
Al-Zoubi added that some Arab and regional regimes such as Saudi
Arabia, Qatar, Turkey and other states backing terrorism have gone
so far in their offense to Arabism, Islam and Syria, committing grave
mistakes in terms of evaluating the outcomes of their policies.
He continued to say that Saudi Arabia has become a factory for
producing universal terrorism and it cannot prevent terrorists from
turning back to its territories through taking numerous decisions.
Answering a question on Jordanian public political discourse on curbing
terrorist groups attempt to infiltrate into Jordan, al-Zoubi said
this discourse is mere press statements; the Jordanian government
should realize the danger of the terrorists training on its land on
the security of the Jordanian people.
He called upon the Jordanian government to coordinate with Syrian
leadership for curbing the borders.
On the Arab Summit in Kuwait, al-Zoubi said this meeting is below the
level of Arab summits because the Arab public opinion does not think
it could bring any outcomes that serve their interests, adding that
the Palestinian issue will remain the Arabs’ central issue.
On the General Elections Law, the Information Minister stressed
this Law has been established according to the highest national and
international standards legally, as it consists with Constitution
and will regulate the presidential elections in the upcoming stage.
“The presidential elections will be held on timeâ?¦the security
situation will not prevent itâ?¦we expect the participation in the
elections to be great,” al-Zoubi added.
