Champress (“an e-paper published by the Independent Media Group in Damascus”) reports:
Speaker of the People’s Assembly Dr. Mahmoud al-Abrash on Sunday discussed with Member of the British House of Commons George Galloway the current situation in the region and the Syrian firm principles stance vis-à-vis the regional issues.
Mr. Galloway stressed that the speech delivered by President Bashar al-Assad on Thursday was welcomed by all the honest around the world, adding that his speech was that of a man who refuses subordination and believes in independent decisions and full Arab rights.
The British parliamentarian stressed importance of activating the Syrian and Arab media in confronting the Anti-Syrian flow of information as well as the importance of dialogue in clarifying the Syrian stance.
Always remember, George: you’ve got a friend in Damascus:
When you’re down and troubled
And you need some loving care
And nothing, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I’ll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I’ll be there
You’ve got a friend
…..
Ain’t it good to know that you’ve got a friend
When people can be so cold
They’ll hurt you, and desert you
And take your soul if you let them
Oh, but don’t you let them
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I’ll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I’ll be there
You’ve got a friend
