Rasa News Agency Reports – Grand Mufti, Sheikh Ahmad BadroddinHassoun, in an interview with Sky News elaborated: “If Maaz Al-Khatib, the head of the opposition coalition, wants Bashar Al-Assad to make a brave decision, I also want him to make a brave decision by returning to the country and negotiating with the government.”

“Don’t the opponents understand that they should take advantage of Mr. President’s invitation to return to the country and negotiate with the government?” He added.

Considering Bashar Al-Assad’s invitation for dialogue as the main solution for reconciliation, he addressed the opponents: “Stop asking for arms, act bravely and return to the country”.

“Some people in the government made mistake and they’ve been punished for their mistake, Bashar Al-Assad himself have emphasized that mistakes have been made during this 20 years but will these mistakes be corrected with fire”. Stated the Grand Mufti.

Mentioning the existence of the foreign interference in Syria’s crisis, Hassoun emphasized that Iran-Syria relation is not religious, but it’s based on Iran’s stance against arrogant powers and supporting the rights of the people of Palestine and Jerusalem Al-Quds.
