Syrian Deputy Foreign and Expatriates Minister Fayssal Mikdad hailed the Syrian people’s commitment to their homeland through the vast participation in the presidential elections at Syria embassies on May 28th.

In an article published by the Lebanese daily al-Binaa, Mikdad said the Syrians, who were accustomed to surprise the world with their innovations, have surprised nations with their commitment to their Homeland.

"The 28th of May would be recorded in Syria's modern history as the 3rd of June, on which presidential elections will run, will also be recorded in this history.”

He pointed out that Syrians have defeated the conspiracy hatched by the western and Gulf intelligence in a bid to defame Syria.

"When the Syrians marched through streets of capitals to their embassies, they affirmed that they were with each tiny soil of Homeland, Syria," Mikdad said.

He described stances of Germany, France, Belgium, Bulgaria and other states which prevented the Syrians from practicing their right of expression and free participation in presidential elections as "unprecedented" in violation of the human rights.
