Syria Denies Reports on New Constitution Drafts

Berlin/ Eine syrische Fahne weht am Donnerstag (09.02.12) in Berlin an der Botschaft der arabischen Republik Syrien. Nach der Festnahme von zwei mutmasslichen syrischen Spionen weist die Bundesregierung vier Mitarbeiter der Botschaft Syriens aus. Das habe Aussenminister Guido Westerwelle veranlasst, teilte Auswaertige Amt am Donnerstag in Berlin mit. Die Entscheidung sei dem syrischen Botschafter mitgeteilt worden. Der Botschafter war bereits am Dienstag (07.02.12) ins Aussenamt einbestellt worden. Dabei sei ihm erneut klargemacht worden, dass ein etwaiges Vorgehen gegen syrische Oppositionelle in Deutschland nicht hingenommen werde, erklaerte das Auswaertige Amt.

Syria’s presidency dismissed as untrue reports on drafts of a new constitution proposed to Damascus.

The presidency’s official Facebook page said that during the past two days, it received many questions regarding what has been circulated by some media outlets on drafts of a new constitution proposed  to Syria, SANA news agency reported.

”In this context and to avoid any confusion, we are concerned to affirm that no draft of a new constitution has been proposed to the Syrian Arab Republic and all what has been circulated by media outlets on this issue is completely untrue,” the page said.

Meanwhile, it stressed that that any new constitution to Syria in the future will not be proposed by foreigners but rather it will be absolutely a Syrian.

Only the Syrian people will discuss and agree on a new constitution, as it will be put to referendum, the Syrian presidency said, affirming that any other talk is “useless and meaningless” .
