Iran Press/ Middle East: Speaking at a UN Security Council session on the state in the Middle East on Thursday, Syria’s permanent representative to the UN, Bashar Al-Jaafari added that Syria is writing the last chapter of its fight against terrorism.
According to Iran Press, Al-Jaafari noted that Syria is open to any initiatives that help it come out of the crisis, affirming that the constitution is an absolute Syrian sovereign issue.
Syria’s permanent representative to the UN added that Syria is ready to actively participate in any genuine effort to reach a political solution through which the Syrians alone decide their future without any foreign intervention.
Al-Jaafari went on to say that the success of any political track in Syria requires work with the Syrian state and pre-cooperation with it, saying that it also requires an international commitment to overcome the remnants of terrorists and end the illegitimate presence of foreign troops on the Syrian territories.
Syria’s representative affirmed that Syria hopes the current committee on discussing the constitution, emerging from the Syrian-Syrian national dialogue congress in Sochi, would be formed as soon as possible.
