Syria: Arab League Can’t Neither Now, Nor in Future Play Role in Syria Solution

Syrian Information Minister Omran al-Zoabi lashed out at the Arab League on Friday, stressing that the regional body can’t neither now, nor in the future play a role in solving the current crisis in Syria.

Talking to reporters, Zoabi said that AL needs to reconsider its political and legal basics, noting that it lacks wisdom and sobriety and has overstepped all nationalist principles.

“The honest Arabs in the Arab League are counted on to put an end to the hegemony of political money and terrorism,” he said, according to official news agency, SANA.

The Syrian minister stressed that the AL’s role in Syria is an unacceptably destructive one, saying that “any attempt to hinder the political solution under the pretext of pushing towards it is an exposed attempt.”

He said that Damascus doesn’t trust some AL members, stressing: “Those whom we don’t trust can’t play any role, neither now, or in the future”.

Zoabi made clear that the attempts of some Arab regimes to look for a role to play in Syria as “absurd and not possible”, affirming that the AL must call off all its decisions against Syria and publically apologize to the Syrian people and government “and only then we can consider it.”
