Samy calls for restoring relations

Egyptian politician Mohamed Samy blamed the Egyptian government for not returning diplomatic relations with Syria, saying that a large number of Egyptian political parties and forces called on the Egyptian government to restore full diplomatic relations without detracting from Syria after the legendary steadfastness of the Syrian Arab Army in the face of colonial schemes.

He added, in an interview with “Al Maghrib Today”, that the former regime of Muslim Brotherhood took a dangerous step to cut diplomatic ties with Syria, saying that it is not logic to keep the situation with Syrian despite the victories that the Syrian regime managed to achieve notable progress on the ground.

He added that Syria’s absence and “the continuation of its vacant seat at the Arab League is no longer acceptable,” the committee said. This was considered by observers as a clear Egyptian call for the return of Bashar al-Assad’s regime to occupy the seat. He also called on the Syrian regime to restore its seat at the Arab League, describing the current situation as totally ‘unacceptable’.

In the same context, the Egyptian politician stressed that the proposals to achieve reconciliation with Muslim Brotherhood are strongly rejected by the Egyptian people, blaming the group for working to destabilize the country during the current critical period. He said that the Egyptian people strongly refuse any initiative to achieve rapprochement between Muslim Brotherhood and the Egyptian government.

He rebuked the calls for reconciliation with the Muslim Brotherhood, blaming the group for the extremism witnessed not only in Egypt but also in the world as whole. He said, “Extremism is not the terrorist attacks that target military and security forces but the ideas promoted by the group since its establishment.”
