Syria’s steadfastness paved the way for this great transformation in the international scene<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad received Sunday a Lebanese delegation, headed by Lebanese Democratic Party Chie, MP Talal Arslan, including religious clerics and prominent dignitaries from the Unitarian Druze Sect, partisans and Lebanese economic and social figures.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In his welcoming word before the delegation, al-Assad said “the relations between the two countries should not be affected by changes and transitory circumstances, but rather efforts must be exerted to strengthen them,” stressing that \u201cSyria will remain with the Lebanese people and support them at various levels.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cLeaders who have the correct and clear vision are the ones who can, through the mutual relationship with the people, lead them to the right goal and stability and to protect them from the pitfalls confronting them at different times, in light of the attempts to dismantle the social and national structures in the region,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cThe battle that leaders must fight is the battle to protect the minds against what is targeting them, which is the abolition and abandonment of identities,\u201d al-Assad underlined.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In turn, Arslan considered in his word that \u201cthe legendary steadfastness of Syria paved the way for this great transformation in the international scene, which has not yet been completed\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the lesson that generations, our generations, from the depths of our east and our orient, must memorize, as well as the generations of the free world who stand by our side in this aggressive war being waged against us,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cIn light of this, we are no longer tempted by the discourse of Western governments, with democracy, human rights, and the great lies labeled as war on terrorism\u2026.\u201d he affirmed.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Arslan continued to assert that members of the Unitarian community, the sons of Syria, Lebanon and Palestine, have only one project, \u201cwhich is the project of patriotism and civilized Arabism,\u201d adding that \u201ctheir destiny and historical role is to be elements of stability, openness and modernity,\u201d noting that \u201cthey are known for their love and appreciation for brave and heroic men.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He also emphasized the importance of \u201cresuming the normal Lebanese-Syrian relations, as the two countries together constitute an economic integration that has become an urgent necessity for both countries.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat happened yesterday in terms of Syria’s gracious agreement to allow the passage of Egyptian gas and Jordanian electricity through Syrian territory to Lebanon confirms that the return of these relations is inevitable, especially with the presence of many files that require permanent and continuous coordination,\u201d confirmed Arslan, citing the Syrian displaced dossier as being at the forefront of said files and noting that the main objective of leaving it hanging is due to foreign agendas.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He explained that the initiative was previously taken to coordinate with the Syrian state to start resolving this file, which was fully supported by the Syrian President, but unfortunately, despite the approval of the return plan by the Lebanese Cabinet, the government was unable to proceed with implementation since the will of the international community prevented it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
