Assad ready to hold presidential election in Syria with people’s blessing

By AT Editor on October 25, 2015 in Asia Times News & Features, Middle East
The Syrian President Bashar Assad has agreed to hold preliminary elections in the country, on the condition the move has the backing and blessing of the population, a member of Moscow’s Parliamentary delegation has told the TASS news agency, RT reports.

Russian Communist party MP Aleksandr Yushenko mentioned from Syria that the president “is ready to discuss amendments to the constitution, hold parliamentary elections and, if the people of Syria deem necessary, expressed a readiness to hold presidential elections.”

According to Yushenko, who met with the Syrian president in Damascus, Assad “is absolutely confident of his chances [of victory],” should the elections take place.

During the meeting, the Syrian leader stressed that “the fight against terrorism will become the foundation for a new and just world based on sovereignty and cooperation.”

The president also told Syrian media that “eliminating terrorist groups will lead to the political solution we aim for in Syria and Russia.”

Assad said he is expecting a visit from Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, the Duma speaker Sergey Naryshkin and chair Valentina Matvienko.

The news comes after last Saturday’s message to the Syrian leadership from the Russian members of parliament.

“[Assad]… looks forward to our governments working more effectively together. He looks at Dmitry Rogozin as a professional… capable of helping to solve many of the pressing issues, including things like water supply and increasing humanitarian aid, as well as oil and gas sector development,” Communist MP Sergey Gavrilov said.

The Russian delegates, headed by Dmitry Sablin, arrived in Damascus Friday. They were also travelling with a humanitarian aid shipment, which included medicine and food for children.

Quoting Assad, Sablin said the Russian airstrikes under way across the country has surpassed local and even American expectations, Sablin told TASS. Although Assad expected the Russian airstrikes to go well, neither the Syrian government, “nor even the Americans, expected the Russian air force to perform so effectively,” Sablin added.

Russian aviation continues to launch its missions from the Latakia airbase just south of the city. Flights are carried out night and day, with fighter pilots constantly on rotation to keep up operational pace and pressure on the jihadists. Russia says demoralizing the enemy is a key part in forcing foreign fighters out of Syria.

Syria war: Russia 'is ready to assist FSA rebels'

Russia says it is ready to help US-backed rebels in Syria in their battle against militant organisations like the Islamic State group.

Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the Russian air force could support the Free Syrian Army provided the US shares information about rebel positions.

The FSA has so far been among the rebel groups targeted by Russian strikes which have drawn Western criticism.

Russia is a key ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

It has been bombing targets in Syria since last month and says it is primarily hitting IS positions.

But Western powers say most of the air strikes have hit the FSA and other factions backed by the West and Gulf states.

In a TV interview, Mr Lavrov said that the refusal of the US to co-ordinate their anti-terrorism campaign with Russia had been "a big mistake".

The foreign minister said that in addition Russia was ready to support the FSA, but was hampered in doing this because the US was refusing to provide information about rebel and IS positions.

He said that a "correct understanding" of developments in war-torn Syria was emerging among Western politicians amid Europe's migrant crisis.

The interview was recorded before talks on Friday with US Secretary of State John Kerry in Vienna. The transcript was released on Saturday.

Mr Kerry said the talks had been "constructive" and that an expanded round of negotiations could take place next week.

On Thursday, President Putin suggested the Syrian regime could be ready to work with some rebel groups against IS.

Mr Putin said President Assad had agreed to the idea on a recent visit to Moscow.

The US, Turkey and Saudi Arabia all support rebel groups fighting the Syrian government.

Russia backs President Assad, whose visit to Moscow on Tuesday was criticised by the US.

Why is there a war in Syria?

Anti-government protests developed into a civil war that, four years on, has ground to a stalemate, with the Assad government, Islamic State, an array of Syrian rebels and Kurdish fighters all holding territory.

Who is fighting whom?

Government forces concentrated in Damascus and the centre and west of Syria are fighting the jihadists of Islamic State and Jabhat al-Nusra, as well as less numerous so-called "moderate" rebel groups, who are strongest in the north and east. These groups are also battling each other.

What's the human cost?

More than 250,000 Syrians have been killed and a million injured. Some 11 million others have been forced from their homes, of whom four million have fled abroad - including growing numbers who are making the dangerous journey to Europe.

How has the world reacted?

Iran, Russia and Lebanon's Hezbollah movement are propping up the Alawite-led Assad government, while Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar back the more moderate Sunni-dominated opposition, along with the US, UK and France. Hezbollah and Iran are believed to have troops and officers on the ground, while a Western-led coalition and Russia are carrying out air strikes.

Putin is the good guy. Tell the Jews (and their Gentile lackeys) to stop stirring shit in Syria.

Russia has a naval port in Syria. You're not going to mess with that without getting a response from Putin.

Liberman: Syria fighting will be over soon, Hezbollah will turn its sights on Israel

Yisrael Beytenu chief Avigdor Liberman warned Monday that comments made by Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah over the weekend suggest that the organization intends to set its sights on Israel as soon as it extricates itself from fighting in Syria's civil war.

During a rare public appearance in Beirut to mark the Shi'ite Ashura holy day, Nasrallah attacked both Israel and the US, saying that Hezbollah has fought Israel in the past and will continue to do so. "Anyone who thinks that we will retreat or give up- that won't happen. We will win," he vowed.

Speaking ahead of a meeting of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on Monday, Liberman said that he was "very concerned" by Nasrallah's comments.

"For those who did not understand the meaning of what Nasrallah said, it was: 'We are almost finished in Syria, and we will then be free to deal with you,'" Liberman warned.

Liberman estimated that world powers would make an agreement to end the war in Syria within a year, freeing up Hezbollah from the fighting it has been entrenched in defending the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad for the past four years.

"We need to take Nasrallah's comments seriously. Because what he said is, 'We and the Iranians will take care of you, just let us finish our work in Syria,'" Liberman said.

He attacked the government's handling of security threats, and expressed doubt that it would be able to handle an added threat from an engaged Hezbollah.

"I think that a government that has exhibited helplessness against Hamas in Gaza and against the wave of terror in Judea and Samaria and Jerusalem is a government that is unable to handle the threats and unable to deal with Hezbollah and the dangers that it poses. Therefore there is room for concern," he said.

"I hope that the prime minister will address the matter today in the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee - Nasrallah's comments and what the conclusions of the defense establishment are. I hope that the government understands the writing on the wall, and we will ask them to show us what they intend to do about it," he added.

Nasrallah said during his speech on Friday that Israel was "a tool of the West" that was acting as a "subcontractor for US hegemony in the Middle East."

"Israel is a tool that is being used by the West to take control of the Middle East region," the Hezbollah leader said during an event that was guarded by heavy security. "That's why the West defends it."

"The Palestinian people, and all the other nations in the region, chief among them the Lebanese, who have suffered from the Israeli occupation and massacres - they are the ones that bear the burden of the American project of domination [of the Middle East]," the Hezbollah chief said. "The US is responsible for the crimes being committed in Palestine."

The Hezbollah leader said the US "inherited the old colonialist behavior whose goal is to control the Middle East politically, socially, militarily, and culturally."

Nasrallah accused the Americans of wishing to "bring every Muslim under its control so that eventually the nations of the region will recognize Israel."
