Daraa Central Committee denies statement in name of Houran tribes
DARAA, Syria (North Press) – The Central Committee’s spokesperson in Daraa Adnan al- Masalma denies a statement circulated by media outlets on Saturday in the name of Houran tribes which called for the application of a decentralized system in Syria.
Al-Masalma, which was entitled by the Central Committee to be a spokesperson in a meeting on Sunday, said, “this statement neither represents the tribes of Daraa nor has a popular base for it.”
“Who wrote it is unknown,” he added.
“The statement that represents the tribes of Houran is the filmed one, which was read publicly in the city of Tafas in the western countryside of Daraa on Thursday,” he pointed out.
“As for the current negotiations, we have received no reply until now. We are waiting for Russia to set a date for that,” he indicated.
