FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Joint United Nations and Arab League envoy to Syria Kofi Annan has called for national dialogue in the country, calling it an essential step to finding a peaceful solution to the crisis. Annan is planning a visit to Damascus soon.
Annan called on Syrian President Bashar Assad to assist in a bid to end the country’s bloodiest turmoil in decades. “I would plead with (Assad) that he should engage – not only with me but with the process we are launching,” he said. Annan also called on Assad to stop the violence immediately, and allow humanitarian agencies into the country.
The UN-Arab League envoy revealed plans to visit Syria after meeting with UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon in New York, during which Ban strongly urged Syrian authorities to extend their full cooperation. He also said he was “extremely disappointed” that Syria did not allow UN humanitarian chief Valerie Amos to visit.
Earlier on Wednesday it was reported that Annan may also visit Russia in the near future. “The UN and Arab League envoy to Syria has received an invitation to come to Moscow for consultations,” Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov wrote on his Twitter feed.
Annan was appointed UN and Arab League envoy for the crisis in Syria on February 23 following a report by a UN-appointed panel on the deteriorating humanitarian situation there. The Kremlin supported the appointment, saying it expects that such an authoritative politician will contribute to a solution of the pressing issues in Syria.
The UN estimates that more than 7,500 people have been killed since the anti-Assad uprising began in March 2011.
