Sergei Lavrov and Bashar al-Assad
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Tuesday said presented the
conclusions of his mission in Syria and announced that the president
Bashar al-Assad is willing to accept an extended Arab League mission in
Syria and that a constitutional referendum is to be scheduled in the
embattled country, which has seen 11 months of confrontations, resulting
in more than 5,400 people killed.
Lavrov’s mission, which brings nothing Assad had not promised before
and failed to deliver, comes a few days after Russia and China have
vetoed a new resolution on Syria, drawing the violent criticism of the
Western countries.
On that occasion Russia and China said that the resolution came too
soon, and did not offer the possibility of the opposition to it to have
their amendments discussed and approved.
Russia promised then to speak to Bashar al-Assad and announced that
Sergei Lavrov would go to Damascus to talk to him, in a bid the analysts
considered a demolition from within of the regime by means of
convincing Assad to step down, so that others members of the dynasty may
take his place so that the West be satisfied while continuation is
assured.
Sergei Lavrov said that the president of Syria was committed to
ending violence regardless where it came from, but the Syrian activists
said that these promises had been made before and Assad never followed
through.
The promise made by the Syrian leader via the Russian foreign
minister comes at a time when the Syrian army resumed shelling the city
of Homs, killing at least 47 people and prompting residents to say that
the regime wanted to finish them.
On Tuesday, the Gulf Arab states announced that they would recall
their ambassadors from Syria and would expel the Syrian envoys to their
countries. The announcement was made by the Gulf Cooperation Council
current head the Saudi Kingdom.
The move means that the ambassadors from Kuwait, Bahrain, Omar,
Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates will leave their
commission in Damascus. The GCC will convene on Saturday in Riyadh,
Saudi Arabia, to discuss the situation in Syria and what must be done.
Saudi king Abdullah called on the international community to find a
way to put an end to the crackdown on the people in Syria, threatening
that the violence is about to create stability in the region.
