00:00:0015 injuries in addition to two martyrs.
00:00:04Um, of course, we move on to Dr. Ahmed, Director of
00:00:08uncover many Ambulance at the Ministry of Health from the capital, Damascus. Dr.
00:00:11Ahmed, perhaps you are the section under the most
00:00:14but this alone. So there are many pressure. Perhaps this pressure is directed to you because
00:00:17the ambulance is the one that receives
00:00:20many things. And there are many all injuries before we move to the next stage
00:00:23that you mentioned, which is sorting injuries.
00:00:26As Dr. Wael mentioned, there are differences in
00:00:30the severity of injuries. We would appreciate it if you could explain to us
00:00:34when these injuries arrived at the ambulance, how were
00:00:37the cases and what is the degree of difference between one case
00:00:40is a very important issue, but it is and another? Upon arrival at the ambulance location, there were
00:00:44bodies, which were
00:00:47Syria's position stems from dealt with. They were preserved for the arrival of forensic doctors. The rest of
00:00:50the injuries were sorted according to their severity
00:00:54and transferred to the nearest
00:00:56Lebanon. There are clarifications from hospitals. We, with the approved an open conflict. From this protocols in the ambulance, always classify
00:01:02cases even at the scene of the injury and transport them to the nearest hospital
00:01:06and stability of the region while maintaining
00:01:06perhaps to this because the proximity of the system.
00:01:10sisterly countries is an essential pillar The role of the system does not end here. The role of the system after cases arrive at
00:01:12the hospital is to refer some injuries from one hospital to another
00:01:16according to the availability of medical service. This means that our work
00:01:19an explosive device in a is in two stages. The first stage is transportation from the scene of the injury
00:01:23to the hospitals, and the second
00:01:25it goes to several of the Syrian
00:01:26that there are many honorable people in stage is the referral system that will transfer cases between hospitals or discharge them to
00:01:30umm, this is regarding the proximity of the distance. Also,
00:01:34it probably helps in saving more lives. Let's ask
00:01:38Dr. and accordingly, do you have
00:01:42the Israeli flag. But there are many plans that you are currently working
00:01:44honorable people in on to increase or raise the number of points that receive emergency cases
00:01:47initially?
00:01:50As a basic goal currently, it is to increase the number
00:01:53of ambulance vehicles. We
00:01:56his home, protecting every person who passes have a shortage. We are currently covering approximately 30% of the country's needs
00:02:00for ambulance vehicles. Uh-huh. We have a large gap in the number of
00:02:03ambulance vehicles. The first stage is to increase the number of ambulance vehicles.
00:02:08terrorism and By increasing the number of ambulance vehicles, we will automatically increase the emergency points
00:02:11by their spread, and we always rely on distributing emergency points to reach
00:02:15the nearest medical facility
00:02:17in order to reduce the response
00:02:20time. And
00:02:22be vigilant, whether from we cannot achieve this reduction unless there is a sufficient number of
00:02:25vehicles.
00:02:27police, and whether from Thank you very much. Yes, please continue, Dr.
00:02:30Ahmed. As a first step, we are currently working to increase the number of ambulance vehicles
00:02:33in cooperation with the Ministry of Health and in cooperation with other institutions
00:02:37is a country that contributes to making peace in and with
00:02:40development, and the economy is at international organizations so that we reach the required number of vehicles. Thank you
00:02:44very much for your efforts, Dr. Ahmed Al-Bakour, Director of
00:02:48in 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
00:02:52also to you, Dr. Wael Daghmas, Director of the Damascus
00:02:55Health Directorate. You were also with us
00:02:58live. And returning, dear viewers, to my guest here in
00:03:02the studio, Brigadier General Munir Al-Hariri. Brigadier General,
00:03:06peace and security you are an security expert.
00:03:08Even stable
00:03:11countries are subjected to such
00:03:15important point you saw in this attacks. Today, the Syrian citizen
00:03:17should perhaps also be a partner
00:03:19in the messages behind this bombing.
00:03:23What is the responsibility placed
00:03:25on the Syrian state and also placed
00:03:29on every Syrian
00:03:32citizen? Every citizen
00:03:36in all its aspects. Now, is responsible for their country,
00:03:38whether from the authorities
00:03:40the same time. There are attempts by or from the citizens, or from the people of any country.
00:03:44Anyone who lives on Syrian land must bear responsibility for
00:03:47trade. Jordan deployed their country, for the security of their country. The responsibility is not on
00:03:51the entire state, but the state's responsibility is greater because it prepares these
00:03:55agencies, trains
00:03:57or crime in cooperation with trained cadres. The citizen's responsibility
00:04:00in the state
00:04:02the central banks of is automatically like this. This is how
00:04:06all countries in the world operate. The state is responsible for the security of every citizen, responsible for their movement,
00:04:09responsible for their trade, responsible for anything within
00:04:13its borders. But this bombing that happened today, I wanted to
00:04:17ask the doctors who were with us, our brothers, the doctors,
00:04:20whether the victims were from the bus or from
00:04:23outside. If there were few from
00:04:26the bus, then this is a predetermined matter. And
00:04:30if the victims were mostly from
00:04:32solution for future stability
00:04:32mentioned at the beginning of this some skirmishes occurred, but in the streets, this is
00:04:34also a predetermined matter. But if the victims were mostly from the bus,
00:04:39A united Syria free of meaning a lot, then this is something
00:04:41planned with very high technology to inflict the largest number of
00:04:45casualties for a specific purpose. The images
00:04:49that appeared a short while ago and are shown on the Syrian News channel
00:04:52show the bus, and it is destroyed.
00:04:56The major impact of the explosion is on the bus. The explosion
00:05:01countries 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
00:05:04wanted to ask about other considerations for security agencies,
00:05:07and this
00:05:09Gulf states, and the pivot of this this incident meaning intensifying checkpoints, checking Four Seas Committee, is their duty. The responsibility is on the state.
00:05:12A part, and on the citizens, a larger
00:05:15part, because every citizen is a guard in their country and must report anything
00:05:19to the country. We fought drugs through
00:05:23the people, not only through the state
00:05:26things. Second,
00:05:29there will be fingers of accusation,
00:05:32mostly what I said at the beginning was an accusation
00:05:36against the remnants, the secessionist groups in the south, against
00:05:40the Hajjari groups, especially in this
00:05:43region, because they know everything in it. Therefore,
00:05:46there is often a state of instability that they want to stir up,
00:05:49not just internally. There are
00:05:53foreigners, there are countries that did not like it,
00:05:56especially since we are currently in a state of global tension, wars
00:05:59and Iran, and the Strait of Hormuz, and all these problems.
00:06:02So the situation there suggests that Iran
00:06:06is behind very large lines in the bombings
00:06:08in Syria. We are also talking about it, but not from the analytical side, but from the
00:06:12security side, as you are an expert. Yes, is there a hidden
00:06:16message in the timing or perhaps an open one through this bombing
00:06:20that was sent because you know that the dignitaries and elders of the neighborhood
00:06:23today issued a clear statement that they are with civil
00:06:26peace, that they are against destabilization, that their destination
00:06:30is Damascus and not another place in the south or anywhere
00:06:33else supported by a foreign country? Okay. It must be, my dear sister,
00:06:38As-Suwayda. We do not say that all of As-Suwayda
00:06:42are with the Hajjari group and the Hajjari group around them are
00:06:45the beneficiaries who are benefiting from this situation.
00:06:49Financial support, where do they get it from? From Israel or from other countries. They raise
00:06:56As-Suwayda, and this As-Suwayda is the heart of Syria.
00:07:00It must be that these return to their country
00:07:03As-Suwayda, does it have
00:07:07the components of a state? So all their
00:07:10food supplies and all their provisions and all their petroleum products, their oil,
00:07:13their electricity, are from the capital Damascus, even the salaries of employees
00:07:17there. How can there be a state building? So there is something strange,
00:07:21something wonderful. There are many honorable people that we are betting on
00:07:24in As-Suwayda, and the statement that was issued today by the sheikhs and dignitaries
00:07:27of As-Suwayda is evidence that As-Suwayda will return
00:07:31to the embrace of the homeland and all its people are very patriotic
00:07:34and want Syria to be a united state with full
00:07:38sovereignty over all its territories.
00:07:42Hmm. Okay. We would also like to mention that there
00:07:45is news, honestly, quoting the Ministry
00:07:49of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates of the Hashemite
00:07:52Kingdom of Jordan. It condemns the terrorist
00:07:55bombing that occurred in a passenger bus in the city of
00:07:59Jaramana in the Damascus countryside and announces, of course,
00:08:02the Kingdom's solidarity and full support for the government
00:08:06and people of Syria and its rejection of all forms of violence and terrorism that
00:08:09seek to destabilize security and stability. When we look
00:08:12at the position, meaning this Arab
00:08:15and international position of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, what is the importance of coordination with
00:08:18neighboring countries, especially the brothers in Jordan?
00:08:22Jordan, my dear brother, sponsored the agreement that
00:08:24was signed with the southern region,
00:08:28in addition to America. Jordan was
00:08:31the most important sponsor, and Jordan is a neighbor to As-Suwayda, a neighbor
00:08:34to Syria. So there is, and there are many
00:08:38Druze in the Zarqa region. So there is
00:08:41a family connection between these,
00:08:44meaning between Syria and Jordan at all levels.
00:08:48Any security breach that affects
00:08:51Syria will spread to Jordan and affect Jordan. It was a neighboring
00:08:54country, a gateway to the Gulf for drug
00:09:00large military units on the Jordanian-Syrian
00:09:04border to combat this phenomenon
00:09:09the Syrian government. And many large quantities have been seized
00:09:13as a result of the cooperation between the two countries or the cooperation between the regional countries, between all neighboring
00:09:17countries, to control these cases. So terrorism
00:09:20has struck again, and Jordan condemns it because Jordan
00:09:24is Jordan. It feels the reality of Syria
00:09:27and the suffering of Syria over 14 years, in addition to its proximity,
00:09:31in addition to the recent agreement
00:09:33that was signed between the southern region under the patronage of America
00:09:37and Jordan and the new Syrian government. Okay, Brigadier
00:09:41General, someone might ask. You
00:09:44discussion that Jaramana is a soft underbelly. Yes,
00:09:47and that perhaps the issue of checkpoints there, a higher
00:09:51level, can be targeted. But what about preemptive plans
00:09:55before such incidents occur? What should we do security-wise
00:09:58or what is required from the Ministry of Interior
00:10:01to perhaps raise its level, increase control
00:10:05and inspection points, or what exactly? Okay,
00:10:09the eye must be vigilant in this region.
00:10:13Areas like Jaramana require intelligence
00:10:16and security. But security-wise, security-wise,
00:10:21at checkpoints thoroughly, not just a checkpoint but
00:10:24also. With databases, those wanted,
00:10:26strangers frequently visiting the area.
00:10:30Checking all cars that are,
00:10:33well, this is a thorough inspection, in addition to having
00:10:37intelligence elements from the area itself,
00:10:40from the people of the area, who will inform us about
00:10:45volunteers and enthusiastic people everywhere. We must
00:10:48obtain complete intelligence information for any
00:10:52operation, God forbid, that is to be carried out in
00:10:55the future. So intelligence before the event, not after
00:10:59the event. They are not public security or police. They must be vigilant and
00:11:02know what is going to happen. We have discovered many explosive devices. Many
00:11:06were discovered through intelligence before the crime occurred, such as
00:11:10the detected Mariamiyah or the missiles that were discovered in the
00:11:14mosque area. So there must be a vigilant eye
00:11:16that monitors with cameras, monitors
00:11:20with informants, with people from collaborators to carry
00:11:23out, meaning the Moral Guidance Directorate at the Ministry of Interior or Public
00:11:27Security, to announce that citizens are
00:11:30the guardians of their country and should report anything they see that is strange,
00:11:34that goes to specific areas or abandoned factories,
00:11:38or many things that have been
00:11:41perhaps, perhaps the word informants, I apologize to you, but
00:11:45it has a bad legacy among most
00:11:50collective consciousness, unfortunately. Why
00:11:54don't we say that today every Syrian citizen is concerned?
00:11:57Concerned today, and he defends, he is the first line of defense. He is not
00:12:01an informant. He is trying
00:12:04to save his country from any attempt, or when
00:12:07he sees anything that is suspicious. Yes,
00:12:10communication. Yes, and this exists in all countries. I mean, in all countries, this
00:12:14exists. The citizen today is a partner with the state in
00:12:18protecting his land, protecting
00:12:21in the street. Also, okay, and this is a duty.
00:12:25Every citizen must be a guard. I said,
00:12:29yes, not necessarily an informant. This informant is the word of the defunct regime,
00:12:33but in all systems in the world, they plant
00:12:36spies, they plant, I mean, people who monitor events in
00:12:39many regions. Countries spy on countries. This is normal.
00:12:43This is in all countries of the world. Therefore, we must
00:12:47public security, whether from intelligence services, whether from the civil
00:12:52citizens. Every citizen must be
00:12:57There are experiences in neighboring countries, perhaps without mentioning
00:13:00the names of these countries.
00:13:03They have something similar to patrols, meaning night patrols
00:13:06on foot, and they also have
00:13:09matter, I mean, they relied on it in order
00:13:13to overcome the difficulty of vast areas. Drones
00:13:16move continuously, especially at night. To what
00:13:20extent can this be applied in Syria and be effective?
00:13:23Perhaps in the past, there were guards in Old Damascus,
00:13:27the neighborhood guard, yes, like the neighborhood and the neighborhood gatekeeper. Everyone
00:13:30knew that in the past, people knew each other. Therefore,
00:13:34this point you are talking about, that people and guards
00:13:37no longer have a role
00:13:40now because the country has grown.
00:13:43Societies are numerous, meaning there is one hotspot from all Syrian
00:13:47governorates, but there are more strangers. People do not know
00:13:51each other. Therefore, this phenomenon will not appear. There must
00:13:53be technology, cameras
00:13:57for very precise monitoring, in addition
00:13:59to police dogs to detect explosives,
00:14:03in addition to holding full training courses
00:14:06for public security personnel to deal with such cases,
00:14:10and the last addition is the comfort of the citizen.
00:14:14He should be a guard in his country and consider
00:14:17that this is the security of his home, the security of his country, and the security of the street is
00:14:21the security of his country. Then we will have succeeded in this quadruple
00:14:25matter. Okay, Brigadier General, you also mentioned
00:14:28the preemptive steps that
00:14:31may perhaps help in
00:14:34saving many lives and avoiding many incidents.
00:14:38However, the Ministry of Interior has stated on more than one occasion, and through
00:14:41its spokesperson, that not all operations that
00:14:45it thwarts or explosives
00:14:47are announced. And in the end, perhaps
00:14:51ten bombing operations were thwarted.
00:14:55Failed. And this one
00:14:57passed through, and therefore, what is the difference between this one
00:15:00that was actually detected early
00:15:04and the one that actually occurred and caused
00:15:06casualties? Of course, there are many operations
00:15:10that are not announced. Um,
00:15:12and even not announcing them sometimes benefits the investigation
00:15:16because there are gangs linked to each other, pulling each other in. They are not
00:15:20announced. What is announced are things that happen
00:15:23publicly
00:15:27with many casualties, like today's incident. This cannot
00:15:30be ignored, nor can
00:15:33disappear from the eyes of Syrians or from the eyes of the media or others.
00:15:38Therefore, these incidents
00:15:41that have not been announced, the state uses them to
00:15:45crimes and the gangs linked to these
00:15:49people. I mean, cells pulling cells. Someone
00:15:52talks during interrogation about something like the drug crimes that are
00:15:56caught abroad. This reveals an organized gang inside
00:15:59the country that crosses borders. And this crime is the same here.
00:16:03Therefore, the crimes that occur of this
00:16:06type, I mean, the investigation must be very precise
00:16:10in order to extract all the information that the state can benefit from
00:16:14in order to uncover other early
00:16:16crimes. Um, okay, Brigadier
00:16:19General, you know what is
00:16:23important, I mean, hours or a few hours before
00:16:27the bombing, there was a statement
00:16:30by the people and dignitaries of Jaramana city, in which they affirmed
00:16:33that the compass is Damascus and the belonging is
00:16:37Syria, a homeland for all. To what extent
00:16:40is today's bombing a response
00:16:44statement, or perhaps it was planned in advance?
00:16:47As a security expert, I expect that it was planned in advance.
00:16:51Um, because they wouldn't have had time
00:16:54to place
00:16:57bus. This service, God knows
00:17:01where it goes, has several routes, areas. This
00:17:05was in the past, when the regime carried out bombing
00:17:08operations, whether in Iraq or in Lebanon. They would prepare them in Zabadani,
00:17:12in certain farm areas. Explosives experts would work for two or three days
00:17:15to assemble them. Therefore, perhaps it is a response
00:17:18in a very simple way, and perhaps something planned
00:17:21previously. Investigations will reveal what will happen. One last question, do you expect
00:17:25bombings like this, or this particular bombing, is it
00:17:29purely local or cross-border? There are those who stand behind
00:17:32such bombings and support groups from behind.
00:17:35Cross-border, cross-border 100%. I say why?
00:17:39Because Syria is targeted. The project now
00:17:42lost Syria. It lost the largest area connecting it to
00:17:46the sea for Iran, the Shiite crescent.
00:17:50Therefore, all eyes, even the Iranians,
00:17:53support the remnants. They support with islands in the south.
00:17:56They support ISIS. They support many terrorist
00:17:59organizations inside Syria to destabilize it. Yes, I
00:18:03thank you for being with us here, Brigadier General Munir Al-Hariri,
00:18:07security expert. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank
00:18:10you. God bless you.
00:18:11الله
00:18:21Foreign Minister and Expatriates Asaad Al-Shaibani discussed with
00:18:26the capital Ankara, ways to enhance
00:18:28bilateral relations between the two friendly countries
00:18:31and agreed to establish a Supreme Coordination Council between Syria
00:18:35and Turkey and discussed the rapid activation of the Four Seas
00:18:39Committee. This was confirmed by Mr.
00:18:41Al-Shaibani in a press conference
00:18:45with Fidan, that Damascus and Ankara place joint
00:18:48economic and political files within
00:18:52their priorities.
00:18:54Today, we discussed moving the partnership towards a solid institutional
00:18:58structure by establishing a coordination mechanism,
00:19:02a high-level strategic coordination mechanism, which will transform
00:19:05our political agreements into clear work plans and tangible
00:19:08projects on the ground, and ensure the preservation of our
00:19:12achievements away from the fluctuations of the region,
00:19:16culminating in the announcement of the Supreme Coordination Council between the two countries
00:19:19to address all joint issues in various
00:19:22fields. And based on this political will,
00:19:26we placed our joint trade and economic
00:19:29files at the top of our priorities.
00:19:32So we discussed reactivating economic and trade
00:19:35agreements, alongside the last and important step between
00:19:40the two countries, which established a solid foundation for economic
00:19:44and financial movement between the two countries. Both
00:19:47Damascus and Ankara realize that field
00:19:51stability and continuous success in combating terrorism are
00:19:54the cornerstone of this partnership,
00:19:57which is embodied by Damascus's decision to extend
00:20:00the state's authority as a tangible reality by effectively ending any
00:20:04presence of weapons outside the legal framework.
00:20:07This was achieved through dialogue and peaceful agreement that unified
00:20:11institutions to be the largest investment in neighborhood security.
00:20:16terrorism and militias constitutes the ideal wall
00:20:20to protect common borders. The
00:20:24Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates added that work is underway to complete
00:20:27the railway connection project between Syria, Turkey, Saudi Arabia,
00:20:31and Jordan, affirming the condemnation of any attack
00:20:34on the Arab Gulf states and considering their stability
00:20:37a fundamental pillar of the regional security
00:20:40system. We discussed today accelerating the activation of the
00:20:45as geography and history dictate that Syria be the shortest,
00:20:49most efficient knot
00:20:51in global trade maps. We are confidently moving towards
00:20:55completing the strategic railway connection project in partnership
00:20:58between Syria, Turkey, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,
00:21:02and Jordan. Syria's role in this path
00:21:05represents a real geographical and economic bridge,
00:21:09translating and enhancing its role as an active diplomatic
00:21:13bridge in the region. We will build on this positive model
00:21:16to activate joint technical committees and manage our
00:21:20water resources in a way that serves the interests
00:21:22of the two peoples. In the midst of our joint development efforts,
00:21:26sensitive regional developments impose themselves, specifically
00:21:30the repercussions of the ongoing war and confrontations between the United States
00:21:33and Iran.
00:21:37active diplomacy in protecting our national interests
00:21:40and sparing the region from sliding into
00:21:45principled standpoint, we express our strong condemnation
00:21:49of any strikes or aggressions against the sisterly Arab Gulf states.
00:21:52Neutralizing Gulf security from this confrontation is an urgent
00:21:56necessity, and the stability of these
00:22:00that cannot be overlooked within the regional security
00:22:03system. For his part, Turkish Foreign Minister
00:22:06Hakan Fidan affirmed his country's commitment to supporting Syria and cooperating with it
00:22:10in various fields, and stressed that Syria's security
00:22:14and stability are essential for the stability
00:22:17of the region.
00:22:22Ankara is working to develop relations with Syria and increase
00:22:25trade volume between the two countries and increase the number of crossings and support
00:22:29the infrastructure of banks and transportation and reconstruction
00:22:32projects. Turkey is also working with Saudi Arabia,
00:22:36Jordan, and Syria to develop transportation and connection routes
00:22:40between our countries and seeks to raise the level of relations with
00:22:43Syria through new projects in various
00:22:46sectors.
00:22:50The Turkish Foreign Minister stated
00:22:54that cooperation with Damascus specifically covers
00:22:57the economy and counter-terrorism files, ensuring Syria's
00:23:00security and stability and the stability of the entire region,
00:23:04and stressed the need to stop Israeli aggression against
00:23:07Syria and respect its territorial
00:23:09integrity and sovereignty.
00:23:12صنرلار.
00:23:15Cooperation with Damascus focuses specifically on the economic
00:23:18and counter-terrorism files, ensuring Syria's
00:23:21security and stability and the stability of the entire region. Syria
00:23:27the region, and we emphasize the need to stop Israeli
00:23:30aggression against it, and we call on everyone to respect Syria's
00:23:34territorial integrity and sovereignty and to pressure Israel
00:23:38regard.
00:23:42And we welcome, dear viewers, Mr. Wael Alwan, researcher at
00:23:46Jusoor Center for Studies. Welcome, Mr. Wael,
00:23:49to the Syrian News Channel. God bless you.
00:23:52So, many major files today
00:23:56between
00:24:00the two ministers. What is the most
00:24:05meeting that serves the interests of both countries at this
00:24:08stage? Yes, my greetings. When we talk about Turkey, we are
00:24:12talking about a major partner in the security and stability
00:24:15of the region, rather the most important partner today.
00:24:19The most important points that were the focus of the visit
00:24:22were security and stability
00:24:26this broad title, security and stability, security and stability
00:24:29does not mean the security and stability of Syria, but rather the security and stability of the region,
00:24:33and primarily it stems from Syria. Security
00:24:36and stability in its concept, which is security and border
00:24:40protection, dissolving organizations that are
00:24:44sub-state organizations, and full support
00:24:47for institutionalizing the security and military base
00:24:51and transitioning to the professional, unified,
00:24:55and institutional Syrian Arab Army.
00:24:58The work, security and stability at the level of pursuing
00:25:02terrorist organizations, security and stability
00:25:04at the level of successfully integrating the Syrian Democratic Forces into the Syrian government
00:25:08completely and making the entire Syrian
00:25:11map a single map
00:25:14that enjoys fair distribution of services
00:25:17and fair responsibility across all regions.
00:25:21Security and stability at the economic level, therefore, talking about railways and
00:25:24ports before we delve into these matters, I mean, and stability.
00:25:28Stability, I mean, Minister Fidan spoke about combating
00:25:31terrorism, and at the same time, Mr. Al-Shaibani spoke about
00:25:35the need not to involve Syria in
00:25:39any influence through the ongoing war and to neutralize Syria from
00:25:42any risks. What is the importance of this, and the agreement of both parties on this point?
00:25:46Definitely, today there is a common concern for all
00:25:51security and stability, led by Turkey,
00:25:55Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and the rest of the Arab
00:25:59stability for the region is the stability of Syria.
00:26:03The main concern is Israeli tampering,
00:26:06Israeli tampering. And today,
00:26:09the Israelis are being pressured by the United States of America
00:26:12and other regional and international parties to a great extent,
00:26:17pressure proves every now and then that it is not
00:26:21enough. Israeli aggressions are still continuing in southern Syria.
00:26:24Intensive aggressions in southern Lebanon
00:26:28also, which exceed the limits
00:26:31of perhaps targeting military targets to
00:26:34destroying infrastructure and a refugee crisis, and I
00:26:37believe that the issue of combating
00:26:39terrorism
00:26:43no less important, also on the issue of border
00:26:47security. The issue of Syrian intervention in Lebanon
00:26:51has been much discussed. And there is a misunderstanding
00:26:53and there are incorrect interpretations of the Syrian role in
00:26:59President Al-Shara. There are always clarifications from officials
00:27:02and from the Minister of Foreign Affairs that Syria's
00:27:05role today is to preserve the security
00:27:08sovereignty and respecting the sovereignty
00:27:11of neighboring countries. Therefore, Syriaa partner in preserving the security
00:27:14and stability of Lebanon and in the sovereignty
00:27:18of the Lebanese government and in ending
00:27:20all crises that affect the security and stability of the region, but
00:27:24not in the aggressive stereotypical way that Hafez
00:27:28al-Assad and Bashar al-Assad practiced in Lebanon and left a bad impression whose
00:27:32effects are still felt today. Therefore, the discussion today
00:27:35between the Syrian Foreign Minister and his Turkish counterpart
00:27:38focused on various issues, including
00:27:42challenging Israeli aggression, including
00:27:45the positive role that Syria wants to play in
00:27:49Lebanon, which Israel is still obstructing with its aggression
00:27:53whether in Syria or in Lebanon, but the role is completely
00:27:56different. The issue of economic development and the issue of linking
00:27:59railway lines and finding alternatives for, specifically
00:28:04at this point, because perhaps we have elaborated
00:28:08more on the issue of combating
00:28:11this joint security coordination not only between Syria and Turkey, but you
00:28:15know that the Supreme Coordination Councils, even with Lebanon,
00:28:18were announced some time ago. The statements
00:28:22of the Foreign Minister when he said that a unified
00:28:25Syria free of terrorism and militias is
00:28:29the strong barrier to
00:28:32these common borders, and this applies to Turkey, Lebanon, and all
00:28:36countries today, regarding development
00:28:39because security establishes
00:28:43the forefront between Syria and Turkey.
00:28:45How do you evaluate
00:28:50railway link between Syria and Turkey
00:28:53and south from Jordan towards Saudi Arabia,
00:28:56and also all areas of Syrian-Turkish
00:29:00economic development? How
00:29:02will it reflect on deepening Syrian-Turkish
00:29:05relations in the future? Absolutely, Professor,
00:29:08in the end is a complete whole. Today, economic security
00:29:12will contribute to strengthening
00:29:16political security and security in its concept, which is
00:29:19security for citizens and facilities. Also,
00:29:23I cannot say that there
00:29:26is economic security unless I protect facilities, railways,
00:29:29and roads. Political security also
00:29:32involves external relations. Note that when Syria began
00:29:36the new era after the liberation, it began by correcting
00:29:39all aspects at
00:29:43the Syrian government to
00:29:45move the economic wheel, to invite foreign
00:29:48investments, for Syria to open up and join
00:29:52the global economic
00:29:55community after it was completely isolated and cut off. However,
00:29:59this at the same time requires political openness, which the Syrian
00:30:02government was working on. This requires establishing security and stability at the
00:30:06security level, preventing militias, preventing
00:30:10factionalism and life below the state. For example, we saw
00:30:12that the Syrian government first began by dissolving all
00:30:16organizations, all factions, even if they were revolutionary factions, even if they are
00:30:20part of the Syrian government today, but there is no place for factionalism, and at
00:30:24the same time, in the same way, it called on QSD
00:30:28for full integration. Perhaps
00:30:31the end, the national
00:30:34does not require courtesies; it requires a decisive decision from
00:30:38the Syrian government for complete institutionalization,
00:30:41and this is what we found to be continuous steps.
