FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
He said: “Evidently, we have not succeeded. And maybe there is no
guarantee that we will succeed.”
Mr Annan said the Western use of the UN reso to promote Libya’s rebellion “created
a problem,” because, “the Russians and the Chinese feel they were
duped: they adopted a UN resolution transformed into a process for regime
change”.
There was no sign the regime was backing down yesterday as its navy staged
live fire exercises, launching missiles from both sea and land to “simulate
the scenario of repelling a sudden attack from the sea,”
He hoped to restore the calm of April 12th, when the violence appeared to
stop. “I couldn’t believe it,” he said. “I turned on the
television and saw that al-Jazeera announced everything was calm. If it was
possible for one day, why not for a month? Why not once more?”
He said that if the situation improves, (UN) observers “will be ready to
go back to work.” Asked why no deadline was agreed upon for the
creation of a political transition in Syria, potentially buying time for
Assad’s regime, he said, “we wanted to underline that the process
needed to be led by the Syrians themselves. We didn’t want to impose
anything, nothing unrealistic.” Mr Annan said a key objective of the
Geneva meeting on June 30th, had been to get nations to pressure Syria –
notably with Russia’s help.
However, Iran’s potential contribution to peace should also be taken
seriously, he said. “Iran is an actor. It should be part of the
solution. It has influence and we can’t ignore it,” Mr Annan said,
adding he was “struck” by the fact that while “comments are
made about Russia, Iran is mentioned less,” in addition to other
countries supporting the Syrian regime – a fact he said “irritates
the Russians a lot.”
“All these countries claim to want a peaceful solution, but they take
individual and collective initiatives that undermine the very meaning of the
Security Council resolutions,” he said.
