Mansour: Syria’s Destabilization Will Affect Entire Region
Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour has said that instability in Syria affects negatively on the entire region’s security situation and called for assisting the Assad regime in carrying out reforms.
“The destabilization of the security (situation) in Syria will negatively affect the stability and security of the entire region and this can’t be compared to what happened in Libya when the international community was asking to topple its regime,” Mansour told his Portuguese counterpart on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly meeting.
The minister stressed the importance of providing assistance to the Syrian leadership rather than calling for the toppling of the regime to carry out the necessary reforms particularly that President Bashar Assad began implementing them.
The two ministers also discussed bilateral ties.
