Syrian diplomat thanks Armenia for balanced stance
An attempt was made to force the adoption of UN Security Council resolution on Syria.
“But our friends - Russia and China, as well as India and Brazil, prevented it,” he said, adding that adoption of the resolution would result in catastrophic consequences for Syria.
At the same time, Mamun Hariri stressed that position of some countries is surprising. Among these countries, the diplomat named Qatar and Turkey, as well as the position of the League of Arab States.
All this is a result of pressure and blackmail from the West and the Gulf countries, the diplomat said. According to him, the current situation, especially the recent blasts are of terrorist character.
“This indicates that the program is carried out against Syria aimed at undermining stability in the country,” stressed Hariri, accusing Al Qaeda of organizing terrorist attacks.
The only way out is to establish dialogue, to correct mistakes and to bring to justice those responsible.
Syrian diplomat thanked the Government and people of Armenia for “supporting Syria in this difficult time.” In this context, he also pointed out the presence of a large Armenian Diaspora in Syria.
Asked about the forecasts for 2012, Mamoun Hariri noted that the Syrian authorities are sparing no effort to continue already established dialogue with the opposition to make a decision acceptable to all the segments of population and put an end to discord.
