Beijing, (SANA) – Professor Wang Jinglie, a researcher in the Middle East Studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said Syria plays a big role in the Middle East and enjoys an important geographic location, adding that "it is impossible to restore peace in the Middle East without active participation of Syria."

In an analysis published by the China Daily newspaper, Jinglie said no wonder that Syria has become the target of the US and western powers' schemes with every possible means - supporting opposition groups, imposing economic sanctions and several intervention attempts.

Jinglie stressed that the US and the western powers seek to turn the Mediterranean into a "NATO's internal lake"; and for this purpose they tried weakening Syria and Iran to establish a "Great Middle East" through their selective intervention policy which serves the western interests and ambitions only.

He noted that foreign intervention attempts were confronted with the wide popular support of the Syrian leadership, pointing out that the Russian-Chinese veto against foreign intervention in Syria's affairs saved the Middle East from rushing into chaos and its people from greater suffering.

Jinglie added that China will continue to cooperate with the region's countries, enhance economic relations and to achieve peace and stability which will help eliminate terrorism and extremism.

Sergei Viktorovich, will we, along with Chinese brothers, continue to block those resolutions on Syria that are offered by out Security Council partners. Should Syria learn from the Libyam revolution? Should we propose something new on Syria?

There is only one resolution on Syria Russia and China earlier blocked by using their veto right. India, South Africa, Brazil, Lebanon, also said their “No” to the document, which indicates serious differences on the matter at the UN Security Council. The Western resolution is fraught with a repeat of the Libyan scenario, which is denied by its authors. The document warns against the use of force but is based on a unilateral approach, putting all the blame on Syrian President Bashar Assad and urging countries to show vigilance when contacting the Syrian side. Russia has repeatedly condemned the use of force against peaceful demonstrators and blamed extremists who continue to join these demonstrators while getting weapons from abroad. Information about arms smuggling in Syria, is yet to be denied. Being mentioned is a number of countries, including Iraq and Lebanon. I would like to urge all those having relevant facts to give these facts as soon as possible. Meanwhile, information is ride about these extremists' attacks on administrative buildings and police stations, including Russian company Stroitransgas's office in Syria. According to the UN, about 2,700 people, including 800 policemen, have already been killed in Syria, something that is yet to be verified.

At the moment, Russia's Interfax news agency reports the ongoing riots in Syria, sparked by the killing of Gaddafi. Syrian opposition leaders, inspired by the liquidation of Gaddafi, staged mass demonstrations.

You just mentioned the fact, which may help confirm what I wanted to say. It's like this. If we support the West's stance, which stipulates positioning the Libyan revolution as an example of the future, the political riots will continue. We saw it before and continue to see the same in Egypt, where the situation seemed to have returned back to normal. The international community should avoid sticking to the You-are-a-bad-boy-and-you-should-resign-by- all-means principle, which may further provoke violence and riots. We stand up for a dialogue. We urge all the conflicting parties to sit at the negotiating table and discuss their countries' national interests, not their personal ones.

But we condemn in the same time, extremist elements operating in the ranks of peaceful demonstrators, which is receiving weapons from outside the the country, knowing that any one did not refute after the news about the smuggling of weapons to Syria. and there is firm evidence about the establishment of these extremist groups infiltrating the ranks of peaceful demonstrators or disappearances in their ranks to launch attacks on administrative buildings, police stations and sign ruin it.

Lavrov: The principle of the West, "You are bad" is a dangerous principle to resolve disputes

Sergei Lavrov announced that the Western countries seek to resolve conflicts based on the Libyan scenario is something serious. He said, commenting on the unrest in the Arab countries in response to the killing of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi said: "If our followers of the approach practiced by the West now, which is limited to the need to reproduce the scenario Libya as a typical future, this approach will generate moods of this kind. And incite the people and the popular masses, which not hard to do as we have seen we are still seeing in Egypt. "

DAMASCUS, Oct. 21 (Xinhua) -- U.S. Ambassador to Syria Robert Fort was hit with eggs and tomatoes Friday while he was on his way to a mosque at the central al-Midan neighborhood of the capital Damascus, the private Addounia TV reported.

The report said that Ford went to al-Hasan mosque in al-Midan when passersby pelted him with eggs and tomatoes.

The al-Midan neighborhood has witnessed many anti-government protests over the past seven months.

The television station, however, didn't give further details.

Ford has visited many restive areas in Syria recently in a show of support to anti-government protestors. But the visits angered many residents in those areas, as well as the government that considered his visits as flagrant interference in Syrian affairs.

On Sept. 29, supporters of President Bashar Assad pelted Ford with eggs and tomatoes as he entered an office for a meeting with a leading opposition figure. He was trapped in the office for about three hours until Syrian security forces showed up and escorted him out.

ADDIS ABABA, (SANA)- Chairman of the Commission of the African Union (AU) Jean Ping on Friday stressed rejection of foreign interferences in the internal affairs of peoples and that the great powers should respect the sovereignty and independence of the Arab and African countries.

Ping's statements came during his meeting with Syrian Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Fayssal Mikdad at the Union's headquarters in Addis Ababa.

Ping underscored the importance of coordinating work between the Arab and African countries in all fields and at the regional and international levels based on the common history and geography shared by the Arab and African peoples and the challenges they face.

The AU Commission's Chairman hailed the reforms Syria has started implementing in response to its people's desire, noting that this is the only way to preserve Syria's stability and its role in the Middle East region.

Mikdad, for his part, presented a review of the situation Syria is going through and the foreign-funded and backed terrorist attacks it has been subjected to.

He also referred to the misleading campaigns conducted by some media to smear Syria's image and incite the regional and international public opinion toward the Western countries' plot against Syria because of its standing in the face of the conspiracies targeted against the Palestinian Cause.

Mikdad highlighted the importance of solidarity between the Arab and African peoples which are facing the same U.S.-Western schemes aimed to loot the resources of the Arab and African regions and impose political domination on their peoples.

He said that Syria, having an observer status at the African Union, supports the causes of the African peoples and wishes the Union success in protecting the African countries and defending their interests.
