In light of the rapidly evolving events in the Syrian Arab Republic, Tunisia reaffirms the urgent need to ensure the safety of the Syrian people and to preserve Syria as a unified, sovereign state, according to the Tunisian Foreign Ministry.
This commitment is essential to protecting the country from the perils of chaos, fragmentation, and foreign occupation. Tunisia firmly opposes any foreign interference in Syria’s internal affairs.
Tunisia also reiterates its steadfast position on the need to distinguish between the state itself and the political system in place. The political system is a purely Syrian matter, determined solely by the Syrian people as the ultimate sovereign authority. Only Syrians have the right to decide their future independently, free from any form of external influence.
Tunisia calls on all Syrian parties to unite and prioritize the country’s supreme interests. This unity is critical for safeguarding Syria’s security, independence, and stability, as well as for ensuring a peaceful political transition that preserves the state and meets the aspirations of the Syrian people alone, added the Ministry.
Furthermore, Tunisia expresses its unwavering solidarity with the Syrian people, who share profound historical and cultural ties with the Tunisian nation. Tunisia is confident in the Syrian people’s ability to overcome this critical juncture and to build a brighter future for Syria.
