Head of the delegation of the Syrian High Negotiations Committee Nasr Al-Hariri has praised the role played by the State of Qatar in supporting the Syrian people, stressing that Qatar did not stop for a moment from supporting and helping the Syrian people.
In an interview, Al-Hariri said that Qatar has never forgotten the Syrian people and it is the first country to stand by them in their ordeal.
At the same time, he appreciated the efforts of all countries that stand by Syrians and support them in the worst humanitarian disaster in this century, such as Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Jordan, UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain and other friends of Syria.
Regarding the US strike that targeted the site from where the chemical attack was launched against civilians in the Syrian city of Khan Sheikhoun, Al-Hariri expressed his support for the strike and considered it a step in the right direction, but not enough, and called on the United States to continue this attitude, which will lead to an aviation ban and a neutralization of military bases used by the regime in targeting civilians and killing the Syrian people.
He added that the strike was a warning message to the regime and its allies that they could not continue to kill the Syrian people, pointing out that the Syrian regime used chemical weapons more than 160 times against its people, although it signed all the agreements that prohibit their use, most recently the Convention on the prohibition of the use of chemical weapons in 2013.
Meanwhile, he denied the use of chemical weapons by the Free Army since the outbreak of the revolution, and even the availability of weapons owned by the regime. Al-Hariri noted that as long as Bashar al-Assad's regime is in power and his crimes are ongoing on with an international supporter, Syrians are insisting on the need of al-Assad's departure.
The regime, he said, has also signed the Geneva Protocol which prohibits the use of asphyxiating and poison gases and bacteriological weapons.
Nasr Al-Hariri pointed that the regime confirms to the world that it insists on committing crimes and violating the Geneva Protocol.
