The American Special Envoy for Syria, Tom Barak, congratulated the Syrian people on the opening of the second session of the People's Assembly, and sees this as a turning point in Syria's march toward renewal.
He noted that over the decades the council gave the appearance of consent to the reality based on coercion, and emphasized that its leadership has the opportunity to transform it from an instrument of power into a source of legitimacy based on representation, responsibility and the rule of law.
He explained that building a nation is not achieved in moments of victory, but through the accumulation of established practices, through successive meetings, discussions and reforms.
He emphasized that removing the obstacles to achieving justice, improving litigation methods and facilitating commercial activity are the foundations for building a new Syria.
He emphasized that the stability of the new Syria should be based on human dignity, opportunities and achieving common prosperity for all Syrians.
