[00:00:00] 15 injuries in addition to two martyrs.
[00:00:04] Um, of course, we move on to Dr. Ahmed, Director of
[00:00:08] uncover many Ambulance at the Ministry of Health from the capital, Damascus. Dr.
[00:00:11] Ahmed, perhaps you are the section under the most
[00:00:14] but this alone. So there are many pressure. Perhaps this pressure is directed to you because
[00:00:17] the ambulance is the one that receives
[00:00:20] many things. And there are many all injuries before we move to the next stage
[00:00:23] that you mentioned, which is sorting injuries.
[00:00:26] As Dr. Wael mentioned, there are differences in
[00:00:30] the severity of injuries. We would appreciate it if you could explain to us
[00:00:34] when these injuries arrived at the ambulance, how were
[00:00:37] the cases and what is the degree of difference between one case
[00:00:40] is a very important issue, but it is and another? Upon arrival at the ambulance location, there were
[00:00:44] bodies, which were
[00:00:47] Syria's position stems from dealt with. They were preserved for the arrival of forensic doctors. The rest of
[00:00:50] the injuries were sorted according to their severity
[00:00:54] and transferred to the nearest
[00:00:56] Lebanon. There are clarifications from hospitals. We, with the approved an open conflict. From this protocols in the ambulance, always classify
[00:01:02] cases even at the scene of the injury and transport them to the nearest hospital
[00:01:06] and stability of the region while maintaining
[00:01:06] perhaps to this because the proximity of the system.
[00:01:10] sisterly countries is an essential pillar The role of the system does not end here. The role of the system after cases arrive at
[00:01:12] the hospital is to refer some injuries from one hospital to another
[00:01:16] according to the availability of medical service. This means that our work
[00:01:19] an explosive device in a is in two stages. The first stage is transportation from the scene of the injury
[00:01:23] to the hospitals, and the second
[00:01:25] it goes to several of the Syrian
[00:01:26] that there are many honorable people in stage is the referral system that will transfer cases between hospitals or discharge them to
[00:01:30] umm, this is regarding the proximity of the distance. Also,
[00:01:34] it probably helps in saving more lives. Let's ask
[00:01:38] Dr. and accordingly, do you have
[00:01:42] the Israeli flag. But there are many plans that you are currently working
[00:01:44] honorable people in on to increase or raise the number of points that receive emergency cases
[00:01:47] initially?
[00:01:50] As a basic goal currently, it is to increase the number
[00:01:53] of ambulance vehicles. We
[00:01:56] his home, protecting every person who passes have a shortage. We are currently covering approximately 30% of the country's needs
[00:02:00] for ambulance vehicles. Uh-huh. We have a large gap in the number of
[00:02:03] ambulance vehicles. The first stage is to increase the number of ambulance vehicles.
[00:02:08] terrorism and By increasing the number of ambulance vehicles, we will automatically increase the emergency points
[00:02:11] by their spread, and we always rely on distributing emergency points to reach
[00:02:15] the nearest medical facility
[00:02:17] in order to reduce the response
[00:02:20] time. And
[00:02:22] be vigilant, whether from we cannot achieve this reduction unless there is a sufficient number of
[00:02:25] vehicles.
[00:02:27] police, and whether from Thank you very much. Yes, please continue, Dr.
[00:02:30] Ahmed. As a first step, we are currently working to increase the number of ambulance vehicles
[00:02:33] in cooperation with the Ministry of Health and in cooperation with other institutions
[00:02:37] is a country that contributes to making peace in and with
[00:02:40] development, and the economy is at international organizations so that we reach the required number of vehicles. Thank you
[00:02:44] very much for your efforts, Dr. Ahmed Al-Bakour, Director of
[00:02:48] in this his Turkish counterpart, Hakan Fidan, in the announcement of this Ambulance at the Ministry of Health. You were with us drones. This live from Damascus. Thank you
[00:02:52] also to you, Dr. Wael Daghmas, Director of the Damascus
[00:02:55] Health Directorate. You were also with us
[00:02:58] live. And returning, dear viewers, to my guest here in
[00:03:02] the studio, Brigadier General Munir Al-Hariri. Brigadier General,
[00:03:06] peace and security you are an security expert.
[00:03:08] Even stable
[00:03:11] countries are subjected to such
[00:03:15] important point you saw in this attacks. Today, the Syrian citizen
[00:03:17] should perhaps also be a partner
[00:03:19] in the messages behind this bombing.
[00:03:23] What is the responsibility placed
[00:03:25] on the Syrian state and also placed
[00:03:29] on every Syrian
[00:03:32] citizen? Every citizen
[00:03:36] in all its aspects. Now, is responsible for their country,
[00:03:38] whether from the authorities
[00:03:40] the same time. There are attempts by or from the citizens, or from the people of any country.
[00:03:44] Anyone who lives on Syrian land must bear responsibility for
[00:03:47] trade. Jordan deployed their country, for the security of their country. The responsibility is not on
[00:03:51] the entire state, but the state's responsibility is greater because it prepares these
[00:03:55] agencies, trains
[00:03:57] or crime in cooperation with trained cadres. The citizen's responsibility
[00:04:00] in the state
[00:04:02] the central banks of is automatically like this. This is how
[00:04:06] all countries in the world operate. The state is responsible for the security of every citizen, responsible for their movement,
[00:04:09] responsible for their trade, responsible for anything within
[00:04:13] its borders. But this bombing that happened today, I wanted to
[00:04:17] ask the doctors who were with us, our brothers, the doctors,
[00:04:20] whether the victims were from the bus or from
[00:04:23] outside. If there were few from
[00:04:26] the bus, then this is a predetermined matter. And
[00:04:30] if the victims were mostly from
[00:04:32] solution for future stability
[00:04:32] mentioned at the beginning of this some skirmishes occurred, but in the streets, this is
[00:04:34] also a predetermined matter. But if the victims were mostly from the bus,
[00:04:39] A united Syria free of meaning a lot, then this is something
[00:04:41] planned with very high technology to inflict the largest number of
[00:04:45] casualties for a specific purpose. The images
[00:04:49] that appeared a short while ago and are shown on the Syrian News channel
[00:04:52] show the bus, and it is destroyed.
[00:04:56] The major impact of the explosion is on the bus. The explosion
[00:05:01] countries in the region investing in came from bottom to top, so the area around the bus is less damaged. This is clear from the images. I don't know. Okay, I
[00:05:04] wanted to ask about other considerations for security agencies,
[00:05:07] and this
[00:05:09] Gulf states, and the pivot of this this incident meaning intensifying checkpoints, checking Four Seas Committee, is their duty. The responsibility is on the state.
[00:05:12] A part, and on the citizens, a larger
[00:05:15] part, because every citizen is a guard in their country and must report anything
[00:05:19] to the country. We fought drugs through
[00:05:23] the people, not only through the state
[00:05:26] things. Second,
[00:05:29] there will be fingers of accusation,
[00:05:32] mostly what I said at the beginning was an accusation
[00:05:36] against the remnants, the secessionist groups in the south, against
[00:05:40] the Hajjari groups, especially in this
[00:05:43] region, because they know everything in it. Therefore,
[00:05:46] there is often a state of instability that they want to stir up,
[00:05:49] not just internally. There are
[00:05:53] foreigners, there are countries that did not like it,
[00:05:56] especially since we are currently in a state of global tension, wars
[00:05:59] and Iran, and the Strait of Hormuz, and all these problems.
[00:06:02] So the situation there suggests that Iran
[00:06:06] is behind very large lines in the bombings
[00:06:08] in Syria. We are also talking about it, but not from the analytical side, but from the
[00:06:12] security side, as you are an expert. Yes, is there a hidden
[00:06:16] message in the timing or perhaps an open one through this bombing
[00:06:20] that was sent because you know that the dignitaries and elders of the neighborhood
[00:06:23] today issued a clear statement that they are with civil
[00:06:26] peace, that they are against destabilization, that their destination
[00:06:30] is Damascus and not another place in the south or anywhere
[00:06:33] else supported by a foreign country? Okay. It must be, my dear sister,
[00:06:38] As-Suwayda. We do not say that all of As-Suwayda
[00:06:42] are with the Hajjari group and the Hajjari group around them are
[00:06:45] the beneficiaries who are benefiting from this situation.
[00:06:49] Financial support, where do they get it from? From Israel or from other countries. They raise
[00:06:56] As-Suwayda, and this As-Suwayda is the heart of Syria.
[00:07:00] It must be that these return to their country
[00:07:03] As-Suwayda, does it have
[00:07:07] the components of a state? So all their
[00:07:10] food supplies and all their provisions and all their petroleum products, their oil,
[00:07:13] their electricity, are from the capital Damascus, even the salaries of employees
[00:07:17] there. How can there be a state building? So there is something strange,
[00:07:21] something wonderful. There are many honorable people that we are betting on
[00:07:24] in As-Suwayda, and the statement that was issued today by the sheikhs and dignitaries
[00:07:27] of As-Suwayda is evidence that As-Suwayda will return
[00:07:31] to the embrace of the homeland and all its people are very patriotic
[00:07:34] and want Syria to be a united state with full
[00:07:38] sovereignty over all its territories.
[00:07:42] Hmm. Okay. We would also like to mention that there
[00:07:45] is news, honestly, quoting the Ministry
[00:07:49] of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates of the Hashemite
[00:07:52] Kingdom of Jordan. It condemns the terrorist
[00:07:55] bombing that occurred in a passenger bus in the city of
[00:07:59] Jaramana in the Damascus countryside and announces, of course,
[00:08:02] the Kingdom's solidarity and full support for the government
[00:08:06] and people of Syria and its rejection of all forms of violence and terrorism that
[00:08:09] seek to destabilize security and stability. When we look
[00:08:12] at the position, meaning this Arab
[00:08:15] and international position of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, what is the importance of coordination with
[00:08:18] neighboring countries, especially the brothers in Jordan?
[00:08:22] Jordan, my dear brother, sponsored the agreement that
[00:08:24] was signed with the southern region,
[00:08:28] in addition to America. Jordan was
[00:08:31] the most important sponsor, and Jordan is a neighbor to As-Suwayda, a neighbor
[00:08:34] to Syria. So there is, and there are many
[00:08:38] Druze in the Zarqa region. So there is
[00:08:41] a family connection between these,
[00:08:44] meaning between Syria and Jordan at all levels.
[00:08:48] Any security breach that affects
[00:08:51] Syria will spread to Jordan and affect Jordan. It was a neighboring
[00:08:54] country, a gateway to the Gulf for drug
[00:09:00] large military units on the Jordanian-Syrian
[00:09:04] border to combat this phenomenon
[00:09:09] the Syrian government. And many large quantities have been seized
[00:09:13] as a result of the cooperation between the two countries or the cooperation between the regional countries, between all neighboring
[00:09:17] countries, to control these cases. So terrorism
[00:09:20] has struck again, and Jordan condemns it because Jordan
[00:09:24] is Jordan. It feels the reality of Syria
[00:09:27] and the suffering of Syria over 14 years, in addition to its proximity,
[00:09:31] in addition to the recent agreement
[00:09:33] that was signed between the southern region under the patronage of America
[00:09:37] and Jordan and the new Syrian government. Okay, Brigadier
[00:09:41] General, someone might ask. You
[00:09:44] discussion that Jaramana is a soft underbelly. Yes,
[00:09:47] and that perhaps the issue of checkpoints there, a higher
[00:09:51] level, can be targeted. But what about preemptive plans
[00:09:55] before such incidents occur? What should we do security-wise
[00:09:58] or what is required from the Ministry of Interior
[00:10:01] to perhaps raise its level, increase control
[00:10:05] and inspection points, or what exactly? Okay,
[00:10:09] the eye must be vigilant in this region.
[00:10:13] Areas like Jaramana require intelligence
[00:10:16] and security. But security-wise, security-wise,
[00:10:21] at checkpoints thoroughly, not just a checkpoint but
[00:10:24] also. With databases, those wanted,
[00:10:26] strangers frequently visiting the area.
[00:10:30] Checking all cars that are,
[00:10:33] well, this is a thorough inspection, in addition to having
[00:10:37] intelligence elements from the area itself,
[00:10:40] from the people of the area, who will inform us about
[00:10:45] volunteers and enthusiastic people everywhere. We must
[00:10:48] obtain complete intelligence information for any
[00:10:52] operation, God forbid, that is to be carried out in
[00:10:55] the future. So intelligence before the event, not after
[00:10:59] the event. They are not public security or police. They must be vigilant and
[00:11:02] know what is going to happen. We have discovered many explosive devices. Many
[00:11:06] were discovered through intelligence before the crime occurred, such as
[00:11:10] the detected Mariamiyah or the missiles that were discovered in the
[00:11:14] mosque area. So there must be a vigilant eye
[00:11:16] that monitors with cameras, monitors
[00:11:20] with informants, with people from collaborators to carry
[00:11:23] out, meaning the Moral Guidance Directorate at the Ministry of Interior or Public
[00:11:27] Security, to announce that citizens are
[00:11:30] the guardians of their country and should report anything they see that is strange,
[00:11:34] that goes to specific areas or abandoned factories,
[00:11:38] or many things that have been
[00:11:41] perhaps, perhaps the word informants, I apologize to you, but
[00:11:45] it has a bad legacy among most
[00:11:50] collective consciousness, unfortunately. Why
[00:11:54] don't we say that today every Syrian citizen is concerned?
[00:11:57] Concerned today, and he defends, he is the first line of defense. He is not
[00:12:01] an informant. He is trying
[00:12:04] to save his country from any attempt, or when
[00:12:07] he sees anything that is suspicious. Yes,
[00:12:10] communication. Yes, and this exists in all countries. I mean, in all countries, this
[00:12:14] exists. The citizen today is a partner with the state in
[00:12:18] protecting his land, protecting
[00:12:21] in the street. Also, okay, and this is a duty.
[00:12:25] Every citizen must be a guard. I said,
[00:12:29] yes, not necessarily an informant. This informant is the word of the defunct regime,
[00:12:33] but in all systems in the world, they plant
[00:12:36] spies, they plant, I mean, people who monitor events in
[00:12:39] many regions. Countries spy on countries. This is normal.
[00:12:43] This is in all countries of the world. Therefore, we must
[00:12:47] public security, whether from intelligence services, whether from the civil
[00:12:52] citizens. Every citizen must be
[00:12:57] There are experiences in neighboring countries, perhaps without mentioning
[00:13:00] the names of these countries.
[00:13:03] They have something similar to patrols, meaning night patrols
[00:13:06] on foot, and they also have
[00:13:09] matter, I mean, they relied on it in order
[00:13:13] to overcome the difficulty of vast areas. Drones
[00:13:16] move continuously, especially at night. To what
[00:13:20] extent can this be applied in Syria and be effective?
[00:13:23] Perhaps in the past, there were guards in Old Damascus,
[00:13:27] the neighborhood guard, yes, like the neighborhood and the neighborhood gatekeeper. Everyone
[00:13:30] knew that in the past, people knew each other. Therefore,
[00:13:34] this point you are talking about, that people and guards
[00:13:37] no longer have a role
[00:13:40] now because the country has grown.
[00:13:43] Societies are numerous, meaning there is one hotspot from all Syrian
[00:13:47] governorates, but there are more strangers. People do not know
[00:13:51] each other. Therefore, this phenomenon will not appear. There must
[00:13:53] be technology, cameras
[00:13:57] for very precise monitoring, in addition
[00:13:59] to police dogs to detect explosives,
[00:14:03] in addition to holding full training courses
[00:14:06] for public security personnel to deal with such cases,
[00:14:10] and the last addition is the comfort of the citizen.
[00:14:14] He should be a guard in his country and consider
[00:14:17] that this is the security of his home, the security of his country, and the security of the street is
[00:14:21] the security of his country. Then we will have succeeded in this quadruple
[00:14:25] matter. Okay, Brigadier General, you also mentioned
[00:14:28] the preemptive steps that
[00:14:31] may perhaps help in
[00:14:34] saving many lives and avoiding many incidents.
[00:14:38] However, the Ministry of Interior has stated on more than one occasion, and through
[00:14:41] its spokesperson, that not all operations that
[00:14:45] it thwarts or explosives
[00:14:47] are announced. And in the end, perhaps
[00:14:51] ten bombing operations were thwarted.
[00:14:55] Failed. And this one
[00:14:57] passed through, and therefore, what is the difference between this one
[00:15:00] that was actually detected early
[00:15:04] and the one that actually occurred and caused
[00:15:06] casualties? Of course, there are many operations
[00:15:10] that are not announced. Um,
[00:15:12] and even not announcing them sometimes benefits the investigation
[00:15:16] because there are gangs linked to each other, pulling each other in. They are not
[00:15:20] announced. What is announced are things that happen
[00:15:23] publicly
[00:15:27] with many casualties, like today's incident. This cannot
[00:15:30] be ignored, nor can
[00:15:33] disappear from the eyes of Syrians or from the eyes of the media or others.
[00:15:38] Therefore, these incidents
[00:15:41] that have not been announced, the state uses them to
[00:15:45] crimes and the gangs linked to these
[00:15:49] people. I mean, cells pulling cells. Someone
[00:15:52] talks during interrogation about something like the drug crimes that are
[00:15:56] caught abroad. This reveals an organized gang inside
[00:15:59] the country that crosses borders. And this crime is the same here.
[00:16:03] Therefore, the crimes that occur of this
[00:16:06] type, I mean, the investigation must be very precise
[00:16:10] in order to extract all the information that the state can benefit from
[00:16:14] in order to uncover other early
[00:16:16] crimes. Um, okay, Brigadier
[00:16:19] General, you know what is
[00:16:23] important, I mean, hours or a few hours before
[00:16:27] the bombing, there was a statement
[00:16:30] by the people and dignitaries of Jaramana city, in which they affirmed
[00:16:33] that the compass is Damascus and the belonging is
[00:16:37] Syria, a homeland for all. To what extent
[00:16:40] is today's bombing a response
[00:16:44] statement, or perhaps it was planned in advance?
[00:16:47] As a security expert, I expect that it was planned in advance.
[00:16:51] Um, because they wouldn't have had time
[00:16:54] to place
[00:16:57] bus. This service, God knows
[00:17:01] where it goes, has several routes, areas. This
[00:17:05] was in the past, when the regime carried out bombing
[00:17:08] operations, whether in Iraq or in Lebanon. They would prepare them in Zabadani,
[00:17:12] in certain farm areas. Explosives experts would work for two or three days
[00:17:15] to assemble them. Therefore, perhaps it is a response
[00:17:18] in a very simple way, and perhaps something planned
[00:17:21] previously. Investigations will reveal what will happen. One last question, do you expect
[00:17:25] bombings like this, or this particular bombing, is it
[00:17:29] purely local or cross-border? There are those who stand behind
[00:17:32] such bombings and support groups from behind.
[00:17:35] Cross-border, cross-border 100%. I say why?
[00:17:39] Because Syria is targeted. The project now
[00:17:42] lost Syria. It lost the largest area connecting it to
[00:17:46] the sea for Iran, the Shiite crescent.
[00:17:50] Therefore, all eyes, even the Iranians,
[00:17:53] support the remnants. They support with islands in the south.
[00:17:56] They support ISIS. They support many terrorist
[00:17:59] organizations inside Syria to destabilize it. Yes, I
[00:18:03] thank you for being with us here, Brigadier General Munir Al-Hariri,
[00:18:07] security expert. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank
[00:18:10] you. God bless you.

[00:18:21] Foreign Minister and Expatriates Asaad Al-Shaibani discussed with
[00:18:26] the capital Ankara, ways to enhance
[00:18:28] bilateral relations between the two friendly countries
[00:18:31] and agreed to establish a Supreme Coordination Council between Syria
[00:18:35] and Turkey and discussed the rapid activation of the Four Seas
[00:18:39] Committee. This was confirmed by Mr.
[00:18:41] Al-Shaibani in a press conference
[00:18:45] with Fidan, that Damascus and Ankara place joint
[00:18:48] economic and political files within
[00:18:52] their priorities.
[00:18:54] Today, we discussed moving the partnership towards a solid institutional
[00:18:58] structure by establishing a coordination mechanism,
[00:19:02] a high-level strategic coordination mechanism, which will transform
[00:19:05] our political agreements into clear work plans and tangible
[00:19:08] projects on the ground, and ensure the preservation of our
[00:19:12] achievements away from the fluctuations of the region,
[00:19:16] culminating in the announcement of the Supreme Coordination Council between the two countries
[00:19:19] to address all joint issues in various
[00:19:22] fields. And based on this political will,
[00:19:26] we placed our joint trade and economic
[00:19:29] files at the top of our priorities.
[00:19:32] So we discussed reactivating economic and trade
[00:19:35] agreements, alongside the last and important step between
[00:19:40] the two countries, which established a solid foundation for economic
[00:19:44] and financial movement between the two countries. Both
[00:19:47] Damascus and Ankara realize that field
[00:19:51] stability and continuous success in combating terrorism are
[00:19:54] the cornerstone of this partnership,
[00:19:57] which is embodied by Damascus's decision to extend
[00:20:00] the state's authority as a tangible reality by effectively ending any
[00:20:04] presence of weapons outside the legal framework.
[00:20:07] This was achieved through dialogue and peaceful agreement that unified
[00:20:11] institutions to be the largest investment in neighborhood security.
[00:20:16] terrorism and militias constitutes the ideal wall
[00:20:20] to protect common borders. The
[00:20:24] Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates added that work is underway to complete
[00:20:27] the railway connection project between Syria, Turkey, Saudi Arabia,
[00:20:31] and Jordan, affirming the condemnation of any attack
[00:20:34] on the Arab Gulf states and considering their stability
[00:20:37] a fundamental pillar of the regional security
[00:20:40] system. We discussed today accelerating the activation of the
[00:20:45] as geography and history dictate that Syria be the shortest,
[00:20:49] most efficient knot
[00:20:51] in global trade maps. We are confidently moving towards
[00:20:55] completing the strategic railway connection project in partnership
[00:20:58] between Syria, Turkey, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,
[00:21:02] and Jordan. Syria's role in this path
[00:21:05] represents a real geographical and economic bridge,
[00:21:09] translating and enhancing its role as an active diplomatic
[00:21:13] bridge in the region. We will build on this positive model
[00:21:16] to activate joint technical committees and manage our
[00:21:20] water resources in a way that serves the interests
[00:21:22] of the two peoples. In the midst of our joint development efforts,
[00:21:26] sensitive regional developments impose themselves, specifically
[00:21:30] the repercussions of the ongoing war and confrontations between the United States
[00:21:33] and Iran.
[00:21:37] active diplomacy in protecting our national interests
[00:21:40] and sparing the region from sliding into
[00:21:45] principled standpoint, we express our strong condemnation
[00:21:49] of any strikes or aggressions against the sisterly Arab Gulf states.
[00:21:52] Neutralizing Gulf security from this confrontation is an urgent
[00:21:56] necessity, and the stability of these
[00:22:00] that cannot be overlooked within the regional security
[00:22:03] system. For his part, Turkish Foreign Minister
[00:22:06] Hakan Fidan affirmed his country's commitment to supporting Syria and cooperating with it
[00:22:10] in various fields, and stressed that Syria's security
[00:22:14] and stability are essential for the stability
[00:22:17] of the region.
[00:22:22] Ankara is working to develop relations with Syria and increase
[00:22:25] trade volume between the two countries and increase the number of crossings and support
[00:22:29] the infrastructure of banks and transportation and reconstruction
[00:22:32] projects. Turkey is also working with Saudi Arabia,
[00:22:36] Jordan, and Syria to develop transportation and connection routes
[00:22:40] between our countries and seeks to raise the level of relations with
[00:22:43] Syria through new projects in various
[00:22:46] sectors.
[00:22:50] The Turkish Foreign Minister stated
[00:22:54] that cooperation with Damascus specifically covers
[00:22:57] the economy and counter-terrorism files, ensuring Syria's
[00:23:00] security and stability and the stability of the entire region,
[00:23:04] and stressed the need to stop Israeli aggression against
[00:23:07] Syria and respect its territorial
[00:23:09] integrity and sovereignty.
[00:23:12] صنرلار.
[00:23:15] Cooperation with Damascus focuses specifically on the economic
[00:23:18] and counter-terrorism files, ensuring Syria's
[00:23:21] security and stability and the stability of the entire region. Syria
[00:23:27] the region, and we emphasize the need to stop Israeli
[00:23:30] aggression against it, and we call on everyone to respect Syria's
[00:23:34] territorial integrity and sovereignty and to pressure Israel
[00:23:38] regard.
[00:23:42] And we welcome, dear viewers, Mr. Wael Alwan, researcher at
[00:23:46] Jusoor Center for Studies. Welcome, Mr. Wael,
[00:23:49] to the Syrian News Channel. God bless you.
[00:23:52] So, many major files today
[00:23:56] between
[00:24:00] the two ministers. What is the most
[00:24:05] meeting that serves the interests of both countries at this
[00:24:08] stage? Yes, my greetings. When we talk about Turkey, we are
[00:24:12] talking about a major partner in the security and stability
[00:24:15] of the region, rather the most important partner today.
[00:24:19] The most important points that were the focus of the visit
[00:24:22] were security and stability
[00:24:26] this broad title, security and stability, security and stability
[00:24:29] does not mean the security and stability of Syria, but rather the security and stability of the region,
[00:24:33] and primarily it stems from Syria. Security
[00:24:36] and stability in its concept, which is security and border
[00:24:40] protection, dissolving organizations that are
[00:24:44] sub-state organizations, and full support
[00:24:47] for institutionalizing the security and military base
[00:24:51] and transitioning to the professional, unified,
[00:24:55] and institutional Syrian Arab Army.
[00:24:58] The work, security and stability at the level of pursuing
[00:25:02] terrorist organizations, security and stability
[00:25:04] at the level of successfully integrating the Syrian Democratic Forces into the Syrian government
[00:25:08] completely and making the entire Syrian
[00:25:11] map a single map
[00:25:14] that enjoys fair distribution of services
[00:25:17] and fair responsibility across all regions.
[00:25:21] Security and stability at the economic level, therefore, talking about railways and
[00:25:24] ports before we delve into these matters, I mean, and stability.
[00:25:28] Stability, I mean, Minister Fidan spoke about combating
[00:25:31] terrorism, and at the same time, Mr. Al-Shaibani spoke about
[00:25:35] the need not to involve Syria in
[00:25:39] any influence through the ongoing war and to neutralize Syria from
[00:25:42] any risks. What is the importance of this, and the agreement of both parties on this point?
[00:25:46] Definitely, today there is a common concern for all
[00:25:51] security and stability, led by Turkey,
[00:25:55] Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and the rest of the Arab
[00:25:59] stability for the region is the stability of Syria.
[00:26:03] The main concern is Israeli tampering,
[00:26:06] Israeli tampering. And today,
[00:26:09] the Israelis are being pressured by the United States of America
[00:26:12] and other regional and international parties to a great extent,
[00:26:17] pressure proves every now and then that it is not
[00:26:21] enough. Israeli aggressions are still continuing in southern Syria.
[00:26:24] Intensive aggressions in southern Lebanon
[00:26:28] also, which exceed the limits
[00:26:31] of perhaps targeting military targets to
[00:26:34] destroying infrastructure and a refugee crisis, and I
[00:26:37] believe that the issue of combating
[00:26:39] terrorism
[00:26:43] no less important, also on the issue of border
[00:26:47] security. The issue of Syrian intervention in Lebanon
[00:26:51] has been much discussed. And there is a misunderstanding
[00:26:53] and there are incorrect interpretations of the Syrian role in
[00:26:59] President Al-Shara. There are always clarifications from officials
[00:27:02] and from the Minister of Foreign Affairs that Syria's
[00:27:05] role today is to preserve the security
[00:27:08] sovereignty and respecting the sovereignty
[00:27:11] of neighboring countries. Therefore, Syriaa partner in preserving the security
[00:27:14] and stability of Lebanon and in the sovereignty
[00:27:18] of the Lebanese government and in ending
[00:27:20] all crises that affect the security and stability of the region, but
[00:27:24] not in the aggressive stereotypical way that Hafez
[00:27:28] al-Assad and Bashar al-Assad practiced in Lebanon and left a bad impression whose
[00:27:32] effects are still felt today. Therefore, the discussion today
[00:27:35] between the Syrian Foreign Minister and his Turkish counterpart
[00:27:38] focused on various issues, including
[00:27:42] challenging Israeli aggression, including
[00:27:45] the positive role that Syria wants to play in
[00:27:49] Lebanon, which Israel is still obstructing with its aggression
[00:27:53] whether in Syria or in Lebanon, but the role is completely
[00:27:56] different. The issue of economic development and the issue of linking
[00:27:59] railway lines and finding alternatives for, specifically
[00:28:04] at this point, because perhaps we have elaborated
[00:28:08] more on the issue of combating
[00:28:11] this joint security coordination not only between Syria and Turkey, but you
[00:28:15] know that the Supreme Coordination Councils, even with Lebanon,
[00:28:18] were announced some time ago. The statements
[00:28:22] of the Foreign Minister when he said that a unified
[00:28:25] Syria free of terrorism and militias is
[00:28:29] the strong barrier to
[00:28:32] these common borders, and this applies to Turkey, Lebanon, and all
[00:28:36] countries today, regarding development
[00:28:39] because security establishes
[00:28:43] the forefront between Syria and Turkey.
[00:28:45] How do you evaluate
[00:28:50] railway link between Syria and Turkey
[00:28:53] and south from Jordan towards Saudi Arabia,
[00:28:56] and also all areas of Syrian-Turkish
[00:29:00] economic development? How
[00:29:02] will it reflect on deepening Syrian-Turkish
[00:29:05] relations in the future? Absolutely, Professor,
[00:29:08] in the end is a complete whole. Today, economic security
[00:29:12] will contribute to strengthening
[00:29:16] political security and security in its concept, which is
[00:29:19] security for citizens and facilities. Also,
[00:29:23] I cannot say that there
[00:29:26] is economic security unless I protect facilities, railways,
[00:29:29] and roads. Political security also
[00:29:32] involves external relations. Note that when Syria began
[00:29:36] the new era after the liberation, it began by correcting
[00:29:39] all aspects at
[00:29:43] the Syrian government to
[00:29:45] move the economic wheel, to invite foreign
[00:29:48] investments, for Syria to open up and join
[00:29:52] the global economic
[00:29:55] community after it was completely isolated and cut off. However,
[00:29:59] this at the same time requires political openness, which the Syrian
[00:30:02] government was working on. This requires establishing security and stability at the
[00:30:06] security level, preventing militias, preventing
[00:30:10] factionalism and life below the state. For example, we saw
[00:30:12] that the Syrian government first began by dissolving all
[00:30:16] organizations, all factions, even if they were revolutionary factions, even if they are
[00:30:20] part of the Syrian government today, but there is no place for factionalism, and at
[00:30:24] the same time, in the same way, it called on QSD
[00:30:28] for full integration. Perhaps
[00:30:31] the end, the national
[00:30:34] does not require courtesies; it requires a decisive decision from
[00:30:38] the Syrian government for complete institutionalization,
[00:30:41] and this is what we found to be continuous steps.
