TEHRAN (FNA)- Syrian President Bashar al-Assad stressed that his
country is on the way of overcoming bottleneck that has been squeezing
it during the past two years.
Lebanon's Al-Akhbar daily quoted Assad as affirming that the mean game
played by the West and its allies will come to an end.
He further revealed that the western countries have recently rushed to
offer under-the-table great deals to guarantee their shares in
construction, oil and gas extraction, given the fact that large amount
of reserves were discovered along the Syrian coast, Alahednews
reported.
"Even the World Bank, which totally moves based on US orders, offered
me a "generous" deal: $21 billion loan with concessional terms,
showing a wish in financing all the reconstruction projects," Assad
unveiled.
He also hinted that the Bank's offer was passed through the Godfather
of privatization in Syria Abdallah al-Dardari.
Assad, according to al-Akhbar, totally rejected the offer as he took
his final decisions regarding all the reconstruction offers.
In parallel, the Syrian President stated that "all what preoccupies
his thinking in the current stage is the war aftermath, particularly
how to deal with this huge devastation that hit various Syrian regions
and how to ease the pain of people who lost their loved ones, homes,
fortune, and livelihood sources."
Assad also expressed his deep and great concern over the spread of
sectarianism in the other Arab countries.
"Sectarianism disease represents a serious threat to the existence of
the nation and its future. Thus, we should work hard to confront and
eradicate it," the daily quoted al-Assad as saying.
Regarding the opening of the Golan front, Assad stressed that this
issue is serious.
However, he confirmed that he is not thinking about establishing a
formal resistance that launches random shells from time to time. This
will leave the enemy with an upper hand."
"We seek to establish a real continuous well-organized and effective
resistance which draws the battle field based on its interests just
like the Resistance of Hezbollah in South Lebanon," Al-Assad added.
Moreover, the head of the Syrian state didn't forget his friends.
"We granted the right to extract Syrian oil to a Russian company," he
said, expressing full confidence that the Russians will not change
their position in Syria.
Al-Assad also highlighted that Russia is in fact defending its
security and strategic national interests, which will be threatened if
the West and its followers managed to put their hands on Syria.
On the reconstruction level, he clarified that the Chinese companies
are ready to do their part in this area. "We reached an agreement on
this level."
Assad said that he is not very positive that Geneva 2 will lead to
great results because those who will be sitting on the other side of
the table will not be able to decide for the armed groups on the
ground, and also because opposition sides inside and outside Syria are
divided due to many disputes.
