Syrian President says to be ready for a political solution

He added that he is determined to root out terrorism from Syria.
 
Assad made his remarks during a meeting with a visiting delegation of Mauritanian party leaders in Damascus. 
 
He said “the cohesion between our heroic army and the people” would help Damascus defeat the rebellion, according to SANA.
 
Assad’s latest remarks come two weeks after he promised in a rare speech to strike “terrorism” with an “iron fist”.
 
The President highlighted the important role of the pan-Arab parties and Arab unions and popular organizations in bolstering the Arab people's awareness of the schemes aimed at fragmenting the region through pushing it towards absurd conflicts with the primary beneficiary is the Zionist enemy.
 
For their part, the Mauritanian delegation members, who have been on a visit to Syria for few days, pointed out that Syria has always been and is still paying the price of its leading pan-Arab role and its support for the resistance in thought and action in the face of the projects targeting the Arab nation.
 
They added that what is being plotted Syria today targets the identity of the entire Arab peoples.
 
The Mauritanian figures voiced their full solidarity with the Syrian people, army and leadership, expressing their confidence that Syria will come out of the crisis stronger and more unified after it will have given the whole world lessons in steadfastness and sacrifice.
