HE the Prime Minister Rejects Concessions on Arab League Plan

New York, February 02 (QNA) - HE the Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jabor Al Thani, who is also Chairman of the Arab League's Committee on Syria, said several meetings were held yesterday and today, adding that a progress was made but there are lines on which the Arab League cannot accept to offer concessions. HE Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jabor Al-Thani was specifically referring to the decision issued by the Arab League on January 22, regarding a clear Arab plan to resolve the crisis. In a press statement he gave today, HE the Prime Minister and Foreign Minister said the matter is now focusing around this point which means '' we have to give up this''. He said "we told them that it would be better for the oppose to seek a veto on this .. we will not accept an ineffective decision. We confirmed that there must be no ambiguity because the decision did not include any military intervention and did not include the issue of power because it is for the Syrian people to decide in their discussion on how they see the issue of power. " HE Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jabor Al-Thani stressed that no less than that will be accepted. He advised all states to take this into account saying "that is the minimum. If there is a veto so be it and all states must bear their responsibility for what is happening in this regard." On the current draft resolution, HE the Prime Minister said it is now reasonable, but this is the minimum that the Arab League accepts and we have come out with the final ideas. The other party knows that considerable progress has been made and that what we have clearly said to the friends. The objective is to reach a result acceptable to the Syrian people and to put an end to violence in Syria." (QNA)
