Qatar reiterates position towards Syrian government
QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) – Qatar’s Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani reiterated last week that his country’s position towards the Syrian government remains unchanged.
During an interview with the CNN, held on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, Sheikh Mohammed said that Qatar does not see anything that makes Syrian President Bashar al-Assad eligible to come back to the Arab League.
On May 19, al-Assad officially joint the 32nd session of the Arab Summit of the Arab League, hosted in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, for the first time after 12 years of war.
On May 7, Arab ministers of the Arab League agreed on Syria’s official return to its seat in the Arab League after more than 10 years of suspension.
“We cannot tolerate war criminals, we cannot see the Syrian people still suffering and we just give the government there a waiver to be normalised,” Sheikh Mohammed said.
“We cannot reward someone for not implementing Security Council resolutions,” he added.
