DAMASCUS, Oct. 5 (Xinhua) -- The veto by Russia and China of a draft UN Security Council resolution that threatened sanctions against Syria will help bolster reforms and restore stability and security in Syria, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's advisor Buthaina Shabaan said Wednesday.

"Vetoing the draft resolution contributes to moving forward toward pluralism, democratic and political reforms (in Syria)," Shabaan told Xinhua.

Russia and China, two permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, Tuesday vetoed a draft resolution, which would strongly condemn the Syrian authorities for "human rights violations" and threaten punitive measures against the country.

The draft resolution, presented by France, Germany, Portugal and Britain, won nine votes in favor in the 15-nation council. Four council members abstained in the vote.

"The sanctions approach is destructive not only to the governments but to the people and the coexistence alike," said Shabaan, suggesting that the concept of sanctions encourages terrorism.

Referring to the recent NATO operations in Libya and the U.S.- led invasion of Iraq, Shabaan said: "Their operations in Iraq and Libya indicated that the approach they had adopted is destructive. "

She added that tens of thousands of people were killed in Libya during NATO-led operations.

She pointed out that armed groups are targeting the intellectuals in Syria, comparing it to the situation in Iraq of the migration of professors and academics following the collapse of the Iraqi regime.

According to Syria's official media, nine prominent Syrian academics and professors were killed by armed groups over the past months. No one has taken responsibility for the killing. But Syria 's government and opposition are trading accusations against each other.

The unrest that has erupted in Syria in mid March began peacefully but gradually turned into violent acts targeting civilians, security agents and policemen. Violence has escalated recently and evoked painful feelings among all Syrians with mounting uncertainties over what would come next.

Shabaan said that the crisis in Syria has many facets, one of them related to the legitimate demands by the Syrian people for political, economic and social reforms.

"I think that the leadership in Syria has responded to the legitimate rights of the Syrian people and started to introduce new measures, including embarking on a national dialogue and forming a committee to rewrite the constitution, which would facilitate plural and free parliamentarian elections," said Shabaan.

She said that the problem with national dialogue is that "some Western parties are encouraging some opposition parties not to engage in a dialogue with the government."

Shabaan said that the government is in contact with all the opposition at home and keeps on inviting them to embark on a dialogue despite Western pressure on some of them to reject the dialogue.

The disturbances in Syria affect the Syrian people, she said, adding that "the West should help us implement reforms instead of punishing us ... because those sanctions affect the Syrians in the first place."

"They think not about the people, but rather about the oil and gas in addition to controlling the region," she commented.

Shabaan stressed that the existence of armed groups that aim to foment a sectarian strife is the "most difficult problem facing us today."

She said that these armed terrorists are trying to repeat the sectarian scenario of Iraq, adding that the government is making its utmost efforts to put an end to the armed groups' phenomena.

"Regretfully there are some Arab and Western countries that finance and arm these groups," said Shabaan, adding that such arming and financing represent a problem to Syria.

"What we need today is for the international community to stand by us to fight terrorism and stop the bloodletting," Shabaan stressed.

In an interview with the channel "Russia Today" Igor Juakhluf, the researcher and the Russian political expert, described the use of both Russia and China veto in the Security Council resolution against Syria on the move against the Western colonial policy.

The Juakhluf on Wednesday, October 5 / October, "This was not the position of Russia alone, it is a position supported by China as well, it is also used its veto against the project .. very rare to use the two permanent members of the Security Council veto power together, it which indicates that this project does not have any Western support outside the framework of NATO. "

He Juakhluf: "The European countries and the United States seek to pass this resolution, with features mysterious, a resolution that would allow, if adopted, using all means, including military, as we have seen in the case of Libya. The decision on Libya was relatively light, But it later turned into a large-scale intervention and colonial war. "

The Russian expert said that "Russia and China have never been two colonial powers, they are two countries formed through Altarig on large areas. There is no doubt that Russia and China stand against any colonial policy, and what we are witnessing now is the colonization of classic heavy aims to impose the will of the United European countries that colonies them. It is totally unacceptable in the century atheist century. and even more, we see that since 99, which since the war in Yugoslavia, are still NATO countries totally disregards international law. what happened in Yugoslavia and then in Iraq has been without a decision of the Council security and therefore from the standpoint of international law was an ordinary act of aggression on a sovereign state. "

The Igor Juakhluf that "no doubt that people are being killed in Syria .. But these peaceful demonstrators or members of terrorist groups? In Libya, for example, co-NATO practice with al-Qaeda and the most extreme and access to overthrow Gaddafi any leader of the project, after months ago negotiations with the Western and the legitimacy of its confessions! in the near future to Libya can be transformed into a stronghold for al Qaeda and other terrorist organizations around Europe. "

He continued: "The situation in Syria is more complicated. Syria is located in the heart of the node massive problems that afflict the Middle East. There is Israel, which is under pressure like no other .. first, by the Palestinians who approached the state of their unprecedented closeness, Secondly, by Turkey, which have cooled relations with Israel, notably against the background of recent Turkish statements on sending a new convoy to the Palestinian territories. "

The Russian expert, "The situation in the region explosive. As to be taking into account the fact that Syria, a modern military and strong, in contrast to Libya. All these problems require solutions that cautious and well thought out .. the beginning of the twentieth century, called the Balkan powder keg of Europe. Now, in the early century atheist century, The Middle East is a powder keg for the whole world. Therefore, the Russian position is based on the following principles: First, there is the law of a modern international proven through decades of its existence, its ability to ensure peace for mankind. and now we see that the United States and its allies also working on dismantling the system of international law bit by bit. Second, whatever the Syrian regime in the eyes of Westerners, it was to ensure security in the country with a combination of social, very complex, and if the displacement of this system will absorb this country, huge numbers of terrorist elements from all over the world, just as happened to Lebanon onset of the eighties of the last century. and if you're a modern Syrian weapons in the hands of terrorists, the whole world was on fire. That's what makes the West's policy toward Syria is very serious. "

In a meeting with the channel "Russia Today" pointed out Alexander Selivanoff Russian expert in international security issues that Russia continues to refuse the draft resolution on the western Syria showed its opposition to any Western military intervention gloss cover humanitarian missions.

The Selivanoff "I do not want Russia to fall again into the trap of negotiating process becomes where forced to take legitimate decisions formality, but ultimately leading to the fall of the victims of many civilians. The so-called NATO and the United States" humanitarian missions "is not the case in reality. We have seen reports press in this regard, it is our right to half of that intervention on behalf of the humanitarian mission. Today, Russia wants to be involved in the reorganization of the world under the banner of America. Russia has taken in this regard, a position very clear and even pragmatic, too. It is well known that Syria hosts a Russian military base, no doubt that Russia does not want to lose an ally in the Middle East. "

He said the Russian expert, "I think it is no longer a secret in the light of the tensions, the recent negotiations between Russia and NATO on missile defense, and sharp statements made by Russian Ambassador Permanent Representative to NATO Dmitry Rogozin .. no longer a secret that Russia has taken a strong position and very clear that, as long as does not start the West to take Russia seriously as a partner equal in rights, will not join Russia in the initiatives of the West. It is no coincidence that China has supported us, knowing that China is rarely vote on decisions that do not affect them directly, but its position of supporting us, Fidel that Russia seems to found desirable partner in the new political game.

The Alexander Selivanoff "as is the case in Libya, Russia is seeking without any doubt to act as mediator, because the role of Sheriff, but also required. Russia is trying now to understand the balance of power in Syria and the fact that current developments in the Middle East, and without talking with people representing these countries is impossible to take any political decision can be described Bacharaa. Russia is seeking to find a formula for the legitimacy of political processes taking place in the Middle East, including the Russian position will be balanced, and I do not see the point in waiting for a quick and sharp comments from our Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Canada slaps Syria with new sanctions
By Lee Berthiaume, Postmedia News October 4, 2011
http://www.montrealgazette.com/news/Canada+slaps+Syria+with+sanctions/5502242/story.html

OTTAWA — Canada is slapping Syria's ruling regime with fresh sanctions targeting its oil industry, bringing it in line with similar U.S. and European Union positions adopted weeks ago.

"Certainly by no means can Canada do it alone but we can play our part in the international community," Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird told reporters on Tuesday as he announced the embargo.

The sanctions ban the purchase, transportation or importing of petroleum products from Syria as well as new investments in the industry there. It also imposes travel bans and asset freezes on 56 Syrian officials and 21 companies and organizations.

The move came as the United Nations Security Council was set to debate a resolution condemning the Asad government's violent crackdown on pro-democracy supporters in Syria that have left an estimated 2,700 people dead.

Baird said the sanctions were "one way that we can show, on the day the United Nations is debating this, that Canada is prepared to do our part and stand up against the really repressive actions of the Assad regime in Syria."

The U.S. announced a similar oil embargo in mid-August, with the EU following suit at the beginning of September.

According to the Foreign Affairs Department, Canada was until recently the third-largest investor in Syria, thanks largely to a $1.2-billion Suncor project that was developing and producing natural gas from Syrian fields.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct. 5 (Xinhua) -- The last batch of Malaysian students in Syria arrived at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport on Wednesday, bringing the total of students evacuated from the troubled West Asian country to 139.

"The government decided to fly back the students in Syria in a precautionary measure to avoid untoward incidents," Malaysia's foreign ministry said in a statement.

The move came as the United Nations Security Council resolution condemning the Syrian government's crackdown on pro-democracy supporters in Syria was vetoed by China and Russia.

An estimated of more than 2,700 people were killed across Syria since the civil unrest began in March.

The Malaysian government started repatriating the students on Sept. 19, when demonstrations against President Bashar al-Assad spread in the streets of Syria.

The foreign ministry said there are still 60 Malaysian students remaining in Syria, many of whom have planned to continue their studies in neighboring countries.
