Pro-Regime Media Slams Friends of Syria Meeting
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The pro-opposition Friends of Syria meeting held in Amman has blocked the way for the international peace conference proposed by the United States and Russia, Syrian state news agency SANA said on Thursday.
"The participants, who have declared themselves spokesperson for the Syrian people, have blocked the way to the international conference (proposed by Moscow and Washington) by saying that they were going to boost support to the Syrian opposition," the agency said.
In a joint declaration, the 11 countries who took part in the Friends of Syria meeting in Amman on Wednesday said Syrian President Bashar Assad had no role to play in the country's future and promised to bolster support for the opposition until the formation of a transitional government.
The official Syrian agency said that "the enemies of Syria clearly announced that they were confiscating the right of the Syrian people to choose the political future of their country and to put an end to the crisis through a political solution."
The United States and Russia, which back opposite sides in the Syrian conflict, earlier this month proposed a peace conference dubbed Geneva 2 to bring together rebels and representatives of Assad's regime.

Hahaha. That's the funniest thing I've heard in a long time.
1. Syria has had one of the lowest GDP in the world.
2. The majority of the population is under the poverty line.
3. Safety was secured through brute force and intimidation
4. Judging by a lot of Syrians a virgin or 2 would have done them well.
5. The corruption is ridiculous. Most of it going to the Assad clique and an unfair privlage given to alawites in any major government position. You either reek of lies or stupidity. Pick your poison.

Sure. But that does not mean Assad was good. Either of them. There are plenty of people in the Syrian opposition who are not extremist or insane. Why don't we give them a shot? Or are you a believer of la illah ila bashar?
