There is an urgent need to develop the rule of procedures of the People\u2019s Assembly, in order to be consistent with the existing development in the rest of the institutions, and to be compatible with the requirements and challenges of the stage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cSevere economic crises are a state of Immunodeficiency that is not visible, and wars come to reveal this state of weakness and its severity, and we must search deeply into the economic policy that we have followed over decades,\u201d President al-Assad said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/sana.sy\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/2-28.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-337044 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/sana.sy\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/2-28.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"226\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWith the change in the region and the world and the change of rules of the economy, policy, security, culture and others, is it possible for a certain policy to be correct all the time, we have to discuss our policies, \u201cPresident al-Assad added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">President al-Assad affirmed that\u00a0 the government has to achieve the objectives required of it in the set policies, and this government needs tools to implement the objectives, one of which may be the changing of policies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">President al-Assad added that \u201c We have to determine the most appropriate and least harmful solutions for us in Syria, and every solution carries within it negatives and positives, and it is known that Syria passes through difficult circumstances, and difficult choices do not mean impossibility, but rather they mean that visions, policies and plans are built on facts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Small and medium enterprises are essential part of economy<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The President asserted that one of the most important points is supporting small and medium enterprises because they are an essential part of the economy, stressing that small enterprises are the nucleus of growth and not a solution to a temporary problem, but they are the backbone of the economy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Determination, faith, and Will have broken the Israeli entity\u2019s confidence in the future of its existence<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">President al-Assad said that Gaza provided an example that revived those generations\u2019 awakening as they began to see and read reality in a different way than the West had sought for centuries.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cAges of illusion were overthrown by hours of heroism and months of steadfastness, because they were founded on centuries of belonging. Therefore, the West\u2019s hysterical reaction was unprecedented, which emphasized that Israel is just part of a colonial project. \u00a0Determination, faith, and Will have broken the Israeli entity\u2019s confidence in the future of its existence. Ages of illusion were overthrown by hours of heroism and months of steadfastness,\u201d President al-Assad said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">We have dealt positively with the initiatives that were put forward regarding the relationship with Turkey\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">As for relation with Turkey<\/span>, President al-Assad said &#8220;the current situation\u00a0 is critical globally, and its repercussions in the region pushes us to work faster to fix what can be fixed without the pain of wounds from the stab of a friend. Thus, we dealt with the initiatives regarding the relationship with Turkey that were presented by more than one party-Russia, Iran, and Iraq.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;We have dealt positively with the initiatives that were put forward regarding the relationship with Turkey and without negligence, but they did not achieve any significant results on the ground despite the seriousness of those who offered the initiatives and their sincere eagerness to return things to normal,&#8221; the President said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWith every passing day without progress, damage was accumulating not only on the Syrian side but also on the Turkish side. In dealing with these initiatives, we proceeded from our principles and interests which usually do not contrast with neighboring countries if the intentions were harmless, as sovereignty and international law is consistent with the principles of all parties that are serious about restoring the relationship, and combating terrorism is a common interest for both parties,\u201d President al-Assad said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The President added \u201c We did not occupy the territory of a neighboring country in order to withdraw, nor did we support terrorism in order to stop supporting it. The solution is to be frank and identify the location of the defect, not arrogance. How can we address a problem whose real causes we do not see, and restoring the relationship requires first removing the reasons that led to its destruction, and we will not abandon one right of our rights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cAny negotiation process needs a reference to rely on in order to succeed, and the failure to reach results in previous meetings is one of the reasons for the absence of a reference\u2026Syria constantly stresses the necessity of Turkey\u2019s withdrawal from the lands it occupies and stop its support for terrorism,\u201d President al-Assad said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/sana.sy\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/3-19.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright

talking about now is the stage of bases and principles because its success is what lays the foundation for later success, and the statements of Turkish officials are baseless, as our criterion is sovereignty.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Citizens of the occupied Syrian Golan have proven that their belonging to

sovereignty over their land does not mean the fall of patriotism from their conscience, but rather its elevation, and that occupying the land does not mean selling one\u2019s honor, and they have proven that their belonging is rooted and that their souls live only for Syria and for its sake, President al-Assad affirmed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The president concluded by saying that the resistance in Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq and Yemen are examples to follow on the path of liberation, dignity, honor and independence.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-336948
