According to Qatar's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Majed bin
Mohammad Al-Ansari, the country supports all initiatives aimed at achieving
comprehensive peace in Syria, and all Arab and international efforts in this
regard, a local media outlet reported.
Need for Arab leadership
The statement confirmed that Qatar's position on the Syrian
crisis is based on two key determinants. The first is that the Syrian
government should meet the aspirations of the
Syrian people in the political
solution and the Geneva Statement, and the second is the Arab consensus on
these actions.
"We as Arabs should lead the dialogue table because Syria is an Arab country, and the repercussions of the crisis affect us more than others."
Jordan's Foreign Minister, Ayman Al-Safadi, emphasized the need
for
Arab leadership in resolving the Syrian crisis, stating that "We as
Arabs should lead the dialogue table because Syria is an Arab country, and the
repercussions of the crisis affect us more than others."
Arab rapprochement with Damascus
Political sources say that Jordan has proposed several ideas for
a solution to the Syrian government in recent months and weeks, which has been
translated practically into what can be called an Arab rapprochement with
Damascus and a gradual and conditional return of relations.
This is driven by the
humanitarian catastrophe that resulted
from the
earthquake that struck Syria and Turkey and the Arab solidarity
campaign and aid that followed.
The initiative aims to provide economic assistance, lift sanctions,
start reconstruction, and engage in a democratic political process
According to sources, the main features of the initiative are
based on providing the international community with economic assistance to
Syria,
gradually lifting sanctions, starting the reconstruction process, and
announcing a major operation to release detainees and prisoners.
The initiative also emphasizes the need for serious engagement
in a democratic political process based on conducting comprehensive elections.
