Syrian Foreign Ministry spokesman said Wednesday the UN envoy Kofi Annan has presented during his recent visit to Syria ’no-paper’ suggestions to exchange views on them

Syrian Foreign Ministry spokesman, Dr. Jihad Maqdisi, said Wednesday that UN envoy Kofi Annan has presented during his recent visit to Syria 'no-paper' suggestions to exchange views on them, and the Syrian 'no-paper' respond to those suggestions was very objective.

"We are committed to make a success of Annan's mission providing that it goes in line with the Syrian specificity, and that requires the international and regional efforts be brought together, particularly those which are hindering the political solution and instigating and calling for arming the Syrian inside to pour oil on the fire," said Dr. Maqdisi addressing reporters at the Ministry's headquarters.

He stressed that the proposed solutions to the Syrian crisis cannot be imported, adding that "we encourage Mr. Annan to complete his consultations and we wish him success."

"We wish that all efforts are mobilized to establish appeasement, which everybody should believe is to be reached through getting engaged in the reform and dialogue," the Foreign Ministry spokesman added.

“Those who call for arming are hindering Annan's mission and the success of his mission requires unifying efforts, adding that what is important is the authorization granted to Annan and the extent to which others cooperate with him,” Maqdisi noted.

He stated that Syria welcomes those who believe in dialogue and reject foreign interference, hoping that those who reject dialogue would be convinced that sitting around the dialogue table and rejecting sabotage are the way out of the crisis, adding that President Bashar al-Assad is the guarantor for dialogue and the dialogists.

Regarding the Chinese initiative, he said that Syria received the Chinese envoy and officially welcomed the initiative.
"We will welcome and positively cooperate with all constructive efforts or initiatives… What is important for us is to put negative forces aside and focus on positives that help achieve the desired détente," Maqdisi concluded.
