| [PRESSTV] The United Nations ...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships... Security Council has held a meeting on Syria with a focus on a UN-backed constitutional body for the crisis-hit country, days after the three mediators of a grinding of the peace processor in Syria reached a set of agreements in Geneva, Austria, on the issue. Addressing the Security Council session on Thursday, Syria’s Permanent Representative to the UN Bashar al-Ja’fari said his country is open to any initiative that could help it put an end to the ongoing crisis. Noting that Syria is ready to actively participate in any genuine effort to reach a political solution for the country’s crisis, Ja'fari added that such a solution must make way for Syrians alone to decide their future without any foreign intervention. Syria’s UN envoy said the international community has to help the country end the terrorist war and eliminate the remnants of the terrorist organizations, emphasizing that Syrian people were writing the last chapter of their fight against terrorism. Slamming the Western states for their support for terrorist groups in Syria, Ja'fari stated that although Western countries claimed to be committed to Syria’s illusory sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity, they committed acts of aggression against the country and attacked parts of its territories. Meanwhile, ...back at the game, the Babe headed for second base. He almost made it. Then Sheila slapped him.... Iran's Deputy Ambassador to the UN Es'haq al-e Habib also addressed the session, urged the world body to throw its weight behind the ongoing political process on Syria and help rebuild the war-wracked country. The senior Iranian diplomat further called for the withdrawal of the foreign forces operating on Syrian soil without the Damascus government's permit. Al-e Habib further emphasized the need for the continuation of peace efforts in parallel with counter-terrorism battles based on international law. It is the Syrian people who can decide their country's fate, and the international community can only help facilitate that process, he added. |
