President al- Assad: We are in a transitional period related to viewpoints about the role of State and its institutions
President Bashar al-Assad said Monday that it is the duty of the People’s Assembly to be part of the transitional developmental stage that is linked to viewpoints about the role of the State and its institutions in general, policies and approaches, adding “all hopes would be put on the institution of the People’s Assembly, because it is the highest in any country.”
The President added in a press statement while casting his vote to the elections for members of the People’s Assembly “We are positive about any initiative to improve relations with Turkey, and this is the natural thing and no one is thinking to create problems with his neighbors, but this does not mean that we go to the meeting with Turkish President Erdogan without rules.”
“Within certain limits, the institution of People’s Assembly is governed by three systems, the first of which is the constitution, the Constitution is clear regarding the role of the People’s Assembly, second is the law which is also clear that it may need some amendments, like any law, there is no problem with this issue, but the problem does not lie in the law, from my point of view, the change and the problem is in the rule of procedures of the People’s Assembly because it is what determines the mechanisms which govern the role of this Assembly,” President al-Assad affrimed.
The President added that Personally, I speak as a Syrian citizen, the first thing I want from the People’s Assembly is to monitor policies.
“We cannot go smoothly during this stage and these difficult circumstances in Syria, the region and in the world if there was no national dialogue. The People’s Assembly is the most important institution for national dialogue, if you return to the rule of procedures… it would manage this process, process of dialogue, a dialogue within the Assembly,” President al-Assad elaborated.
