DAMASCUS (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 15th November, 2019) Syrian President Bashar Assad said in an interview with Sputnik and Rossiya 24 broadcaster that some members of the recently-established Constitutional Committee may have ties to the United States and questioned their allegiance to Syria.
"It [the committee] has three parties; one representing the viewpoint of the Syrian government, one representing civil society � which has different viewpoints, and the third party is appointed by Turkey," Assad said.
"This is what happened in the Constitutional Committee. We are negotiating with a party appointed by the Turkish government, which of course means America; the front is Turkey, but this is a de facto position. In order to expect results from this committee, every one of its members should have their allegiance to the Syrian people, they cannot belong to a foreign state and publicly declare their allegiance to it," the Syrian president added.
