PNN – The leader of the Syrian rebels says that the transition period in this country takes time and it may take 4 years to hold presidential elections.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network “Abu Mohammad Al-Jolani”, the leader of the Syrian rebels, who was interviewed by “Al-Arabiya” channel this afternoon (Sunday), claimed: “The liberation of Syria will ensure the security of the region, the [Persian] Gulf and Syria for the next 50 years.”
He continued: “There will be many political stages before the election of the president.” The process of drafting the constitution may take about 3 years.
The Syrian rebel leader added: We are looking for a constitution that will last as long as possible, which of course is difficult and may take time.
At the same time, the leader of the Syrian rebels said: It is true that it is said that they were appointed from only one range of people, because this stage requires cohesion. The current type of appointments was necessary for this stage and did not mean leaving out other people.
Tahrir al-Sham will be dissolved
Abu Mohammad Al-Jolani also announced that the group “Tahrir al-Sham” will be dissolved in the future.
The leader of the Syrian rebels went on to say: Saudi Arabia’s recent statements about Syria were very positive. Saudi Arabia will play a significant role in the future of Syria.
