Syria thanked Russia
The chairman of the Syrian-Russian Friendship Society held talks in Damascus with the Russian delegation headed by the former USSR Ambassador to Syria Alexander Dzasokhov, who was received by the Chairman of the Syrian People’s Council (Parliament) Mahmoud Abrash.
As Huria noted, Syria "intends to move along the path of reforms that will satisfy the needs of citizens, expand democratic freedoms and take the country to a new stage of development." In turn, Abrash said that "a national dialogue that will begin in the coming days will contribute to overcoming the crisis."
Dzasokhov wished Syria and its people "to overcome the difficulties and implement the transformation program, which President Bashar al-Assad spoke about in his last speech."
Official Damascus announced gratitude to Russia against the backdrop of the strengthening of Western countries' sanctions against the regime of Bashar al-Assad.
Since March, mass street protests have been held in Syria demanding reforms and the resignation of President Bashar al-Assad. The authorities use all means to suppress the protests, including weapon. According to human rights activists, about 1400 people died in clashes in several months. At the same time, the Syrian President declares readiness for reforms.
