دمشق ترحب بمبادرة روسية للتخلي عن أسلحتها الكيميائية والجيش الحر يعتبر الأمر كذبا وخداعا
Read this story in English
اعلن وزير الخارجية الروسي سيرغي لافروف الاثنين أن بلاده تدعو سوريا الى وضع ترسانتها من الاسلحة الكيميائية تحت مراقبة دولية لتجنب ضربات غربية عليها، ليسارع وزير الخارجية السوري وليد المعلم المتواجد في موسكو أصلا إلى الترحيب بالمبادرة.
وقال لافروف في تصريح مقتضب بعد ساعات قليلة على لقائه نظيره السوري وليد المعلم "ندعو القادة السوريين ليس فقط الى الموافقة على وضع مخزون سوريا من الاسلحة الكيميائية تحت مراقبة دولية، ثم التخلص منه، لكن ايضا الى الانضمام بالكامل الى منظمة حظر الاسلحة الكيميائية". واضاف "لقد نقلنا هذا الاقتراح الى وزير الخارجية السوري (وليد) المعلم الموجود حاليا في موسكو ونأمل في رد سريع وايجابي".
وتابع "لا نعلم ما اذا كان السوريون موافقين على ذلك، لكن اذا ما كان وضع الاسلحة الكيميائية في هذا البلد تحت مراقبة دولية يسمح بتجنب الضربات، سننكب سريعا على العمل مع دمشق".
بدوره وبعد ساعة على الأكثر قال المعلم في تصريح مقتضب "إستمعت إلى المبادرة الروسية على لسان الوزير لافروف وبناء عليه ترحب الجمهورية العربية السورية بالمبادرة حرصا من القيادة السورية على ارواح مواطنيها وامن بلدها وثقتها بحكمة القيادة الروسية الساعية لمنع العدوان على بلدنا".
ويأتي تصريح لافروف بعد موقف ادلى به نظيره الاميركي جون كيري في وقت سابق الاثنين في لندن اكد فيه ان نظام الرئيس السوري بشار الاسد بامكانه تجنب الضربات اذا ما بادر الى وضع ترسانته من الاسلحة الكيميائية تحت مراقبة دولية.
وقال كيري "من المؤكد انه (بشار الاسد) يستطيع تسليم ترسانته الكيميائية كلها الى المجتمع الدولي خلال الاسبوع المقبل، تسليم كل شيء ودون ابطاء (...) لكنه ليس مستعدا للقيام بذلك ولا يمكنه القيام به". لكن المتحدثة باسم الخارجية الاميركية جنيفر بساكي شددت على الطابع "الافتراضي" لموقف كيري، مشيرة الى انه لا يمكن قراءته انه مهلة او عرض للتفاوض موجه الى "ديكتاتور وحشي" غير اهل للثقة.
واضافت المتحدثة "وزير الخارجية قدم طرحا افتراضيا بشأن استحالة واستبعاد رؤية الاسد يسلم اسلحته الكيميائية التي نفى استخدامها. لو انه احترم القوانين الدولية السارية منذ مئة عام، ما كان بدأ باستخدام اسلحة كيميائية لقتل اكثر من الف رجل، امرأة وطفل".
بدوره اتهم رئيس هيئة اركان الجيش السوري الحر اللواء سليم ادريس الاثنين موسكو ودمشق ب"الكذب" و"الخداع" في المبادرة.
وحذر ادريس في اتصال هاتفي مع قناة "الجزيرة" التلفزيونية القطرية الاميركيين من الوقوع في "شرك الخديعة والتضليل".
وقال "نطالب بالضربات، نطالب بالضربات، ونقول للمجتمع الدولي هذا النظام كذاب وبوتين يعلمهم الكذب. بوتين اكبر كذاب".

Nice move Lavrov:) But that will not help, would it not since it was not the regime that used Chemical weapons! You need to lobby with the rebels and convince them to hand over their stockpiles of sarin and put it under international supervision.

Not necessarily.
You see, if chemical weapons are under international control and accounted for, then there can be no future false flag operations as the regime claims. The US has said Al-Assad must be punished so to not use chemical weapons again, a deterrent. You know, because the US apparently fear chemical attacks on their soil, and are appalled by the affront to humanity, whatever that's interpreted as by the US government.
No point in a military strike if there are no chemical weapons to use eh? Slick, the Russians, now to see how Obama handles this (another foreign policy blunder probably).
Even Kerry agrees:
"John Kerry said earlier Monday that Syrian President Bashar Assad could resolve the crisis surrounding ... use of chemical weapons by turning "every single bit" of his arsenal over to the international community"
Well anyway, things seem to be steering in the right direction, a political solution to replace Al-Assad rather than killing more people.

Why not endless. But someone has to pay for the 1429 lives that Assad took by ordering the chemical attack. Destroying them is NOT enough.

benzona, yes I agree, but don't see how it's so different than using conventional weapons in the case of Syria because it's not fully participant in the prohibition of chemical weapons community. Of course, laws don't hold much weight in the face of such death, yes, it should definitely be punished.
I personally believe that it was likely, as likely a false flag by the opposition, that it was Al-Assad's older brother; the impulsive, easily crazed commander of the 4th armored division which was tasked in the relevant offensive attack.
More investigations will tell, you need to scratch the surface a bit more to realize the evidence isn't as strong as they tell us they are.

benzona: whoever ordered the attack should pay, yes, but until now there is no proof that it is the regime. common sense is actually against this account of the facts since the regime had just allowed UN chemical weapons inspectors to enter syria.
this blatant violation of the "red line" was designed to provoke a foreign intervention, and who profits from the crime?

We share the same views and I am not sure that the use of pejorative words help our case any. Leave it to the other side to take the low road. Please.

This proves it was the regime that used Sarin. Now bomb them.

haile.selassie, true indeed, they are to be used as a deterrent.
Your point it seems is Israel's unlawful possession of Atomic weapons, which is a clear danger. My saying this is exactly its point. It's a deterrent. But this is only the beginning of the issue.
You see, those 300 or so nuclear warheads only work as a deterrent so long as nobody in the region has such weapons. It's a very effective deterrent. However, Israel is too small a country to continue using them as a deterrent if anyone else in the region has advanced nuclear technology. They will no longer act as deterrents and Israel would follow the example of South Africa.

What's more pressing is that this is an issue that must be dealt with, because nuclear technology is the future, and especially relevant to the KSA, they will start relying on nuclear technology to pump oil/produce more oil/save money/become modernized/use less oil themselves, and this, which will have direct impact on the price of oil in the world, will be a big issue with Israel, which will work to prevent it from being realized, potentially endangering the world economy because of oil's absolute vitalness, if it has not yet made peace with its regional neighbors.

naharnet doesnt tolerate the use of animal names, or so they say.
"Calling Saudis by animal names not only is abusive and disrespectful but brings no value to your comment" Naharnet.

Obama don't you believe those blatant liars ! Just like the basij in the nuclear file, they will keep cheating , and slipping away. They only understand the language of brutal force which they have been applying to their people and neighbouring countries for so long. Give them a stick! The big one!! That's what they understand best.

"too much energy and resources fighting each other rather than fighting the Israeli enemy because we have LOUSY leaders."
you are a bit off here--yet we have lousy leaders and even worse leadership, but resources should be spent on education and making people and society better, not 'fighting the israeli enemy' as you refer to. You want to beat israel, you do it economically, socially, and have people look at your country as a beacon, not a dumping ground.
Scapegoating israel or any other country as a symbol of failure is the work of a fool and a sign of failure. If you can't look at yourself to see both the problem and the solution, then you may as well live with big FAIL across your forehead.

JANET (Guest)
Syria has killed more of my family than any other unnatural cause. You decimated tyhe Christians for 30 years and now you market yourselves as the defenders.
Please be my guest and free your own occupied Golan before worrying about our land.
