00:00:00The Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, Marwan Halabi,
00:00:05of completing the addressing of this signed a framework cooperation agreement between Syria and Turkey in the fields of higher
00:00:08education and scientific research. This was at the conclusion
00:00:11of discussions he held with the Head of the Turkish Higher Education Council,
00:00:15Erol
00:00:16rehabilitate this Özvar. The Minister Halabi explained
00:00:19that the agreement reflects the two countries' keenness to strengthen
00:00:22their academic partnership and develop scientific
00:00:26and research cooperation in a way that serves their
00:00:30interests and promotes the higher education system in each
00:00:33of them. He
00:00:35adopted an institutional path pointed out that dealing with common issues will be done
00:00:38in a spirit of partnership and full coordination with the Turkish side, in a way
00:00:42that preserves students' rights and protects the efforts
00:00:45made in the service of higher
00:00:49The holy places in education.
00:00:52The Idlib City Council launched a wide-ranging field campaign
00:00:56to remove encroachments and violations
00:00:59on pavements and public roads in the city's markets.
00:01:02This is part of a plan
00:01:05the issue of Lebanon is important to improve service reality and enhance
00:01:08compensation for farmers and to work with the civilized appearance.
00:01:11Regarding the removal of encroachments from pavements and
00:01:15public roads, we issued
00:01:17them. Also, in warnings to shop owners thousands of to the killing of many who violated and encroached on pavements
00:01:20and roads. Some shops, unfortunately, did not respond to
00:01:24the warning, so we issued a financial
00:01:27violation. Today, this campaign, after the financial
00:01:30violation for shop owners who did not remove
00:01:33the encroachments, we
00:01:36demand that they expand our projects confiscated some
00:01:37We received promises from violations and encroachments. In the next stage, God willing, shops
00:01:40that do not comply with this regulation will be sealed. After the implementation of today's decision
00:01:44regarding shops that encroach on pavements and public roads, the shop
00:01:48will be sealed for a specified period.
00:01:51Our voice was finally
00:01:53heard, and this good work that all the young
00:01:57the two countries, and also security in men did was completed. There were no encroachments on pavements, and thank God,
00:02:00everything is fine. You can now walk on the pavement with peace of
00:02:04mind. I mean, imagine now in this sun, if the pavement was
00:02:07occupied, I would have to walk in the middle of the road, and the sun would hit me just so the
00:02:11shop owner who is putting his goods out can be happy. We requested
00:02:14that the government continue to issue violations to
00:02:17these people
00:02:19Therefore, we are in this who want to occupy the pavements.
00:02:22Based on the desires of all the residents, today we have reached
00:02:26a situation where, regarding traffic, the cars are crowded in
00:02:30the streets. The citizen wants to walk on this pavement, which
00:02:34step between the central banks is basically prepared for
00:02:36citizens to walk on pavements so that they do not get
00:02:40into accidents. We assure our people
00:02:42in in Idlib that this campaign is ongoing,
00:02:45and the police work to remove encroachments will be permanent
00:02:48and continuous, whether in the evening or morning, God willing.
00:02:52The City
00:02:55Council in Idlib began implementing the decision to remove
00:02:58encroachments from pavements after
00:03:01popular calls to open pavements for citizens,
00:03:05according to them. Also, the shop
00:03:09will be sealed for a period of
00:03:11time. Moaz Abbas, Syrian News,

00:03:17to protect common borders The Damascus Governorate announced the detailed
00:03:20organizational and partitioning plan within the West
00:03:23Baramkeh تنظيم area. According to the decision, the
00:03:27urban classification of property 2700
00:03:30and 15 Qanawat
00:03:32interest. This Basateen, plot number 90 in West
00:03:35Baramkeh, was changed from public construction to mixed
00:03:38residential, and the construction of service staircases in the setback
00:03:43the spread of this that provide service to the commercial ground floor independently
00:03:46according to the presented technical study
00:03:48was permitted.
00:03:54As part of the “Fida to Hama” campaign, the General Company
00:03:58for Drinking Water and Sanitation in Hama governorate
00:04:01launched three projects to rehabilitate drinking water stations
00:04:06or disturbance to stability this in Uqayribat, North Mukaymin,
00:04:08and South Mukaymin, with the aim of enhancing
00:04:12service sustainability and improving water
00:04:15conditions in eastern
00:04:20Hama. The General Company for Drinking Water and Sanitation, in cooperation with the Hama
00:04:24Governorate, launched three rehabilitation projects in the eastern countryside
00:04:27of Hama Governorate as part of the “Fida
00:04:30to Hama” campaign. These projects are located in Uqayribat,
00:04:34employees who participated in the Syrian South Mukaymin, and North Mukaymin. Of course, the rehabilitation works include supplying
00:04:39that, but Israel continues these wells with solar energy systems and electrical and mechanical
00:04:41equipment, in addition to replacements and expansion
00:04:45to address this in the Uqayribat area,
00:04:49in addition to equipping these wells, as we mentioned, with electrical and mechanical
00:04:52equipment, in addition to solar energy systems. Of course,
00:04:56more than 1000
00:04:58beneficiaries will benefit from these projects, after these areas
00:05:02suffered from water scarcity and weakness after the defunct regime
00:05:05destroyed the infrastructure in these areas.
00:05:08Also, 70 water and sanitation establishments
00:05:12in Hama are rehabilitating two wells to support the first well
00:05:16to provide drinking water to citizens, given
00:05:19that the percentage of returnees in Uqayribat reached
00:05:2385%. Work is currently underway
00:05:26to well
00:05:29and expand the network and maintain
00:05:33the old network.
00:05:36We are thirsty and need water, and we ask God
00:05:40that He guide them to complete this project because we are buying water, and God
00:05:43willing, the project will succeed and we will drink water and secure our homes
00:05:47and settle down. That is what we want,
00:05:49my sister.
00:05:53We need water, an urgent need.
00:05:56They are buying ten barrels for
00:06:0075. Tractors, even if it's
00:06:03a little, are coming from outside, and Jarbat is in great need
00:06:07of water. I mean, the village has no water.
00:06:10We call on the officials for water. Uqayribat needs water,
00:06:14and there was an old project
00:06:17that would provide water not only for Uqayribat but also for
00:06:20other places. There is a tank and everything, but we need a little
00:06:24movement to get the project going, because the wells
00:06:27in Uqayribat are shallow and their water is weak,
00:06:31not enough. I ask you to help us with the
00:06:35project water.
00:06:38We ask the authorities to expand the projects a bit more because people
00:06:42are suffering. They don't let us dig without a paper from the Orontes
00:06:46Basin, so we
00:06:49and operate the artesian wells for olives, sheep,
00:06:53and these things. Thank you, and God bless you.
00:06:57The General Company for Drinking Water and Sanitation in Damascus
00:07:00announced a modification to the water supply program for some
00:07:03areas due to the decrease in the flow of the main water
00:07:07sources supplying the city of Damascus and part of
00:07:10its surrounding countryside. The company clarified that the modified
00:07:14program will be implemented starting today,
00:07:17indicating that the city of Damascus and its countryside face
00:07:21challenges in securing water due to high temperatures
00:07:24and increased consumption during the summer,

00:09:27regularly, and we heard
00:09:30about the campaign through social media.

00:14:42The director of the Harem district, accompanied by the directors of Agriculture,
00:14:45Water Resources, and State Property, and the head of the Farmers' Union,
00:14:49conducted a field tour in the villages of Al-Ghafir and Al-Bal'a
00:14:52in the Sahel Al-Roj area and the river
00:14:55basin to inspect the damage to agricultural crops as a result
00:14:58of the land being flooded by river water and to discuss measures
00:15:02to address these problems and compensate affected
00:15:05farmers.
00:15:11Of course, the Al-Roj region is a very important agricultural region
00:15:14for Idlib and for Syria. It is considered the food
00:15:17basket in this region. There are existing agricultural projects and a research
00:15:21station affiliated with the ACSAD organization will be implemented in this
00:15:25location. The station is approximately 700 dunams,
00:15:28and there will be production of field
00:15:31crops and some animal husbandry projects
00:15:35for breeding and selecting Awassi sheep and Shami goats.
00:15:38There will also be a agricultural nursery with a capacity
00:15:41of one million seedlings annually, a greenhouse, and a hotel
00:15:45for trainees.
00:15:48Next season, God willing, the Al-Roj project
00:15:51will be pumped and revived completely, God willing.
00:15:55We have a small electrical issue that, God willing,
00:15:58we will solve soon. Regarding water distribution, we have formed
00:16:02water user associations under the Directorate of Water Resources. We are only
00:16:05responsible for direct supervision over them. As for
00:16:09water distribution, we provide them with the main intake through the main canals, and the rest
00:16:13of the subdivisions and water distribution will be done, God willing, through
00:16:15the water users'
00:16:17association.
00:16:19Some agricultural lands in the Al-Ghafir and Al-Bal'a
00:16:23areas in the Harem district and
00:16:26the Orontes countryside in the Salqin countryside were flooded
00:16:29due to heavy rains. We immediately
00:16:33contacted the Directorate of Agriculture and Water Resources to
00:16:36survey these lands
00:16:38and submit the report to the concerned authorities
00:16:42to approve financial
00:16:45our brothers in the Directorate of Water
00:16:49Resources to take some precautionary measures,
00:16:52such as cleaning river
00:16:53beds.
00:16:58We need enough water for these people,
00:17:01and support for farmers regarding agriculture,
00:17:05regarding fertilizer, regarding well...
00:17:08May God
00:17:09help people.
00:17:15the delegation accompanying the Director
00:17:18of the Region regarding compensation for the farmers.
00:17:22There will be support for farmers in terms
00:17:25of fertilizers and compensation, meaning with regard to
00:17:29agriculture.
00:17:34The concerned authorities affirm the continuation
00:17:40And now, dear viewers, we go directly to the Turkish capital, Ankara,
00:17:44to follow the press conference between Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad
00:17:47al-Sheibani and his Turkish counterpart Hakan Fidan. To
00:17:51Ankara.
00:17:54Welcome, everyone, to our ministry. Today,
00:17:57we are hosting a very valuable guest in Ankara.
00:18:00My dear colleague and brother,
00:18:02the Syrian Foreign Minister, and my long-time friend,
00:18:05Mr. Esad Hasan
00:18:08Şeybani, is visiting Ankara with his
00:18:11delegation. I welcome them once again to
00:18:14Ankara. Turkey is already your second home.
00:18:18As you know, since the revolution in Syria,
00:18:22we have been meeting with our brothers at every
00:18:25opportunity. There are continuous visits,
00:18:27and at the same time, we have structured joint working
00:18:31groups and mechanisms. We meet and communicate
00:18:34to exchange information and coordinate activities related to
00:18:37the functioning of these mechanisms that we have established.
00:18:41In our work, we see that Syria is becoming
00:18:45more stable, and the cooperation
00:18:48between our countries is deepening day by day. This situation,
00:18:52thankfully, gives us hope
00:18:55for the future of our region and our countries.
00:18:58The positive situation in Syria is a result
00:19:02of our joint efforts, which we have implemented
00:19:04together with a regional ownership approach.
00:19:08As we have emphasized from time to time before,
00:19:12it is impossible to separate the prosperity
00:19:16and stability of Turkey and Syria.
00:19:19There is not only a border of more than 900
00:19:23kilometers between us, but also a common history,
00:19:26a common culture, and a common future.
00:19:30When Damascus, Aleppo, and Hama are richer
00:19:34and more secure, we immediately feel this
00:19:38in Gaziantep, Mersin, and Istanbul.
00:19:42Similarly, destabilizing activities occurring in any corner
00:19:45of Syria also pose a threat to Turkey.
00:19:49With this understanding, we will further deepen
00:19:53our cooperation and coordination in the areas of combating
00:19:56terrorism, defense, and security.
00:20:00The ongoing integration process in Syria
00:20:03must be completed without interruption.
00:20:07This is important and a priority for our country.
00:20:10The integration of all armed elements and so-called
00:20:13formations under a central and legitimate
00:20:16national structure is essential
00:20:20for the unity of Syria and the stability of our region.
00:20:23Dear press members, we are also developing
00:20:26our economic relations
00:20:28with Syria in a way that is appropriate for the needs
00:20:32of the new era. To increase our bilateral
00:20:36trade volume, we are working to facilitate
00:20:39customs procedures, increase the capacity of border
00:20:42crossings, start operating banking
00:20:45channels, and improve transportation
00:20:49infrastructure.
00:21:03We emphasize that the integration phase in Syria
00:21:06must end urgently without
00:21:10any obstruction. All
00:21:13armed elements must
00:21:17lay down their
00:21:21arms, and this is essential for the stability of Syria
00:21:25and the region.
00:21:27We must work to develop economic relations between
00:21:31Turkey and Syria. We are working to increase
00:21:34the volume of trade between the two countries, and we are also working
00:21:37to facilitate borders and customs, and
00:21:41to increase the number of crossings. We are also working
00:21:44to launch banking operations and
00:21:46support transportation infrastructure.
00:21:50These matters are a priority for
00:21:52us.
00:21:55Also, regarding private work
00:21:58and government institutions, we are working to
00:22:02rebuild them. We are ready
00:22:05and working to support
00:22:07local and regional projects,
00:22:11we are working together. I want to give an example of that.
00:22:14Turkey, Syria, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. We started
00:22:18between these countries
00:22:20transportation
00:22:24route, and this is a very important transportation and connecting route.
00:22:27And we have actually started these
00:22:31projects.
00:22:36The relations between the two countries, we see them
00:22:39through many tangible projects. There is
00:22:42a project to build or open a Turkish
00:22:46school in Syria, and this makes us happy.
00:22:50We are also working to establish
00:22:53a joint university between Turkey and Syria, and also in the field of health
00:22:57work. We are making more efforts in health
00:23:01work. There are many hospitals, and we are also working to support
00:23:04the health infrastructure in Syria.
00:23:09field. In June, the Turkish
00:23:13Minister of Health visited Syria and signed a health
00:23:16work agreement. Also, regarding the Syrian integration process,
00:23:20the international financial system, we support that.
00:23:22The central bank in Syria, and also
00:23:26the central bank of Turkey,
00:23:30there is also an agreement
00:23:32the future. We are working to raise
00:23:35the relationship between Turkey and Syria to
00:23:39high levels through new
00:23:41projects.
00:23:43Today, in a meeting, we also discussed regional issues,
00:23:46of course, including
00:23:49Iran. The negotiations between America and Iran.
00:23:53We are happy about the return to negotiations. A ceasefire
00:23:57must be immediately implemented, and the Strait
00:23:59of Hormuz must be opened for transportation. We will continue
00:24:03to support this
00:24:07phase. We support negotiations, so I want to emphasize
00:24:10an important point here, that Syria, throughout
00:24:13the war, is a country
00:24:17that contributes to peace in the region. I want to emphasize.
00:24:28The region, and this is a responsibility for all of us. From another
00:24:32side, Syria is working to threaten the unity of Syrian territories
00:24:35through its continuous attacks and leads to
00:24:38threatening the security of the region. It is one of the biggest threats
00:24:42that the international community, regarding the mentality of occupied
00:24:46Israel, the international community must stand against this mentality.
00:25:07Regarding the situation in Palestine and Lebanon, we also followed the issue
00:25:10completely. We made it clear that
00:25:14Lebanon is a neighbor of Syria, so the situation there
00:25:16is also important to us.
00:25:20The issue of the second step in the peace
00:25:23plan was agreed upon. Mr. Trump announced
00:25:29to threaten, and this indicates that Netanyahu does not want
00:25:32peace. The Israeli government is working
00:25:36to sabotage and undermine peace processes
00:25:39and is working to annex
00:25:42Gaza.
00:25:45And it is clear that the Israeli government wants Gaza
00:25:49to be without Palestine.
00:26:16In order to support the ceasefire and move to the second phase of the peace
00:26:19plan and restart peace again, there is no
00:26:23other option than these points. On the other
00:26:26hand, in the West Bank and Jerusalem, Netanyahu's
00:26:29government continues its terrorist acts. As
00:26:33you know, there was an important meeting in
00:26:36Amman, and approximately 20 countries from the Islamic
00:26:39world participated in this meeting. And
00:26:43this represented a collective effort
00:26:46of these countries towards Israel.
00:26:51Jerusalem. There are Israeli
00:26:55attempts to violate
00:26:58their sanctity, so we support Jordan in
00:27:02its position in Palestine. Also,
00:27:07in the region. Also,
00:27:10Israel's expansionist policies in Lebanon led
00:27:15citizens, and also
00:27:17citizens were forced to leave their homes.
00:27:21Ensuring stability and security in Lebanon is very
00:27:25important in this context. The relationship
00:27:28between Lebanon and Syria and its return to normalcy
00:27:43Syria is a country that contributes
00:27:45to finding solutions, not creating
00:27:49problems. Thank God, Syria must be
00:27:51present at all tables for finding solutions, and this
00:27:55is something we are proud of in the coming stage. The relations between
00:28:00the region and the world.
00:28:03The work is clear and there are actual projects on the ground
00:28:07that ensure the preservation of our achievements away from the fluctuations
00:28:10of the region,
00:28:12to be crowned with the announcement of the Supreme Coordination Council
00:28:16between the two countries, which will address all common issues
00:28:19in various fields. Based on this political
00:28:23will, we have placed our common trade
00:28:26and economic files at the top of our priorities.
00:28:29We discussed reactivating economic and trade agreements,
00:28:33alongside the recent and important
00:28:36of the two countries, which established a solid foundation for economic
00:28:40and financial movement between the two countries.
00:28:44Both Damascus and Ankara realize that
00:28:47field stability and continuous success in combating
00:28:50terrorism are the cornerstone of this partnership.
00:28:54This is embodied in Damascus's decision to extend
00:28:57state authority as a tangible reality by effectively ending any presence
00:29:01of weapons outside the legal framework,
00:29:04which was achieved through dialogue and peaceful agreement
00:29:07that unified institutions to be the greatest investment
00:29:11in neighborhood security. A unified Syria free of
00:29:15terrorism and militias constitutes the ultimate barrier
00:29:20free of terrorism and militias. This constitutes the ultimate barrier
00:29:23to protect common borders. Here, we coordinate
00:29:26our steps with friends in Ankara to ensure the success
00:29:29of this, the success of this path, in response to our common
00:29:33national Syrian achievement in confining
00:29:36weapons to state institutions. presents a
00:29:40realistic model that heralds a new phase in
00:29:43our regional neighborhood. The region is clearly moving towards
00:29:46establishing a single basis for stability,
00:29:50ending any armed formations outside the legitimate framework.
00:29:53Here, we have agreed to support the efforts
00:29:56and steps led by our brethren in Iraq
00:29:59and Lebanon to strengthen the sovereignty of their countries and confine weapons
00:30:03to their national institutions, which ends any destabilization
00:30:08in the region. The completion of these paths in the sister capitals
00:30:12ensures their sustainable internal stability and, with the Syrian achievement, forms
00:30:16an integrated regional security network
00:30:19that protects our region and propels it towards development
00:30:22and prosperity. Within this comprehensive vision for security,
00:30:26our efforts to consolidate calm in the north
00:30:30are accompanied by firm diplomatic action
00:30:33to stop repeated Israeli aggressions in our Syrian
00:30:36south. We are working steadily to consolidate stability there,
00:30:40and we affirm our condemnation and denunciation of any aggression
00:30:43that affects our land and sovereignty, and we affirm that
00:30:46any aggression will negatively affect the security
00:30:48and stability of the entire region. Therefore, we
00:30:51reiterate our call to return to the 1974
00:30:54agreement and withdraw to the lines prior to December
00:30:588, 2000.
