Damascus on Saturday, November 5, strongly condemned Washington after
the U.S. State DepartmentadvisedSyriansagainst surrendering following
an amnesty for those who give up weapons.
"The American administration disclosed again its blatant interference
in Syria's internal affairs, and its policy which supports killing, in
addition to its funding of the terrorist groups in Syria," SANA state
news agency said citing a foreign ministry official, AFP reported.
Syria's interior ministry announced an amnesty on Friday for people
who surrender their weapons between Saturday and November 12 in a
concession to mark the Eid al-Adha feast, state television reported.
The State Department on Friday advised Syrians against surrendering
to President Bashar al-Assad's regime.
"I wouldn't advise anybody to turn themselves in to regime authorities
at the moment," said spokeswomanVictoria Nuland, adding Assad's regime
had so far failed to live up to a deal to end eight months of violence
struck on Wednesday.
"This would be about the fourth amnesty that they've offered since I
took this job about five months ago," she told reporters. "So we'll
see if it has any more traction than it's had in the past."
SANA, citing the ministry official, said Syria "condemns these
irresponsible statements which only aim at inciting sedition,
supporting the acts of killing and the terrorism practiced by the
armed groups against the Syrian citizens."
"The Syrian government calls on the international community to stand
against these policies which contradict with the provisions of the
international law and the UN Security Council's resolutions related
to combating terrorism and financing it," added the report.
