  • [01] Papandreou holds talks with Syrian President Assad

    Main opposition Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK) leader and Socialist International (SI) President George Papandreou held talks in Damascus on Tuesday with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad that lasted over an hour.

    The talks focused on the situation in Iraq, developments in the Middle East and especially in the Gaza Strip.

    Papandreou said his talks were the continuation of his initiative, on behalf of the SI, regarding Middle East issues and the Arab world in general.

    "We had the opportunity to discuss with the Syrian President the situation in Iraq and ways to get out from the occupation status and enter and new Iraq of peace, cooperation and stability for the wider region," Papandreou told reporters after the meeting.

    "The basic issue discussed was the Gaza Strip crisis. A crisis which must be defused and Syria can play an important role towards this direction. We had the opportunity to examine details in defusing the crisis and for the peace process to resume," Papandreou added.

    Papandreou also met with Syria Vice-President Farouk al-Sharaa who briefed him on the country's internal situation. The Socialist International president again presented his proposal for a regional conference on the Middle East problem, a proposal made to Israeli and Palestinian officials during a recent visit in the region.
