Al-Jaafari: Threats of “al-Riyadh delegation” were translated in the form of terrorist attacks on Aleppo and Damascus countryside

Geneva, SANA-Head of the Syrian Arab republic’s delegation to the Syrian-Syrian dialogue in Geneva Bashar al-Jaafari said on Monday “we began our morning meeting with de Mistura by talking about the terrorist escalation perpetrated by the terrorist organizations in Aleppo and As-Sayydah Zainab in Damascus countryside.

Al-Jaafari, in a press statement following a second session of talks with the UN special envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura in Geneva, added that the threats launched by some members of “al-Riyadh delegation” before leaving Geneva have been practically translated in the form of terrorist attacks on Aleppo and Damascus countryside.

“The main aim of uttering such statements was the failure of the Syrian-Syrian dialogue and involving it in more foreign intervention and carrying out the orders of the masters of Saudi group to escalate situation, yet it is not strange that escalation in Aleppo came by the terrorist group of so-called Ahrar al-Cham, run by Turkish intelligence, and escalation in Damascus came by the so-called Jaish al-Islam run by Saudi intelligence,” al-Jaafari affirmed.

He went on to say that the message of al-Riyadh delegation before leaving Geneva was clear which is to break the cessation of hostilities agreement and attacking the Syrian Arab army.

“The Syrian government has sent two identical letters to UN Secretary General and President of Security Council, calling on the Security Council to take immediate and urgent procedures to help the Syrian government fight terrorism according to relevant resolutions and hold states and governments which support terrorism responsible for such a bloody escalation which claimed the lives of tens of Syrian people,” al-Jaafari said.

He added that the problem of escalating terrorism in Syria had a political background and foreign hands and instructions, saying “the story has begun when the Saudis have played with the authorization they were asked for at Vienna meeting to prepare a list of those who are opposition and not, as well as Jordan was asked to prepare a list on the terrorist organizations and the non-terrorist organizations… yet, the result was, of course, that both  governments failed to do so which led to bringing the problem to Geneva and the participation of terrorists in a team, delegation or Saudi Arabia group.”

Al-Jaafari concluded by saying “we presented to de Mistura today our constitutional modifications about his suggested document, considering them as part and parcel of this paper.”

Delegation of the Syrian Arab Republic held two sessions of talks with de Mistura on Monday.
