New York, SANA- Syria’s Permanent Representative to the UN Bashar al-Jaafari stressed Wednesday that the Syrian Government is ready to interact positively with any attempt to push forwards the political peaceful inter-Syrian solution.
Al-Jaafari, in an interview with al-Manar TV via Skype, said “The success of the track of Moscow 2 raised the ire of Syria’s enemies who started to think of non-consensual output among the Syrians themselves, therefore, the UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura should build on the document, which was the outcome of Moscow 2 and which we circulated among the Security Council’s member states as an official document passed by the UN, and as the only consensus document between the Government and the delegations of the national oppositions, in addition to the outcomes of the negotiations carried out by de Mistura in Damascus and Geneva to pave the way adequately before going to Geneva 3 because we don’t want him to fail like others.”
He added that de Mistura should complete his consultations and pressurize the neighboring countries to stop the expansion of terrorism.
“We can’t go to Geneva 3 to crown the peaceful dialogue through an inter-Syrian understanding as long as there are states and governments which didn’t abide by implementing the Security Council resolutions and didn’t stop their interference in Syria’s internal affairs and they didn’t close their training camps in southern Turkey, Qatar, Jordan and Saudi Arabia,” al- Jaafari said.
Commenting on the role of the international coalition in eliminating the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria “ISIS” in certain areas, al-Jaafari said .. the US administration is fighting Syria and Iraq through using the ISIS, and if the Americans had wanted to fight ISIS, the American planes would have bombarded 2.300 US-made military cars that were in the hands of ISIS and they moved from al-Ramadi to Palmyra in six hours.
He referred to the statements of the US Vice President Joe Biden in which he said that 70 percent of the US overflights in Syria and Iraq don’t bombard ISIS.
This is an intelligence bloody game at the expense of the Iraqi and Syrian people and the Arab nation as a whole, al-Jaafari said, wondering why there is a Western and Arab assertion on preventing coordination among Syrian, Lebanese and the Iraqi armies to fight terrorism.
