Assad Tells US Senators Syria Committed to Peace
Saudi newspaper Al-Watan quoted diplomatic sources Monday as saying that during talks held in Damascus with American senators Arlen Specter and Patrick Kennedy, Syrian President Bashar Assad stressed the importance of bolstering his country's ties with the US and said Damascus was committed to peace as a "strategic choice".
However, Assad ruled out the possibility of a comprehensive peace agreement in the coming year due to the presidential elections in the US. Specter and Kennedy said Syria's role in the so-called ?peace process? was vital and called on President George W. Bush to be forthcoming in his dealings with Syria, the report said.
Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Mouallem stressed during a separate meeting with the senators the "importance of the dialogue between the US and Syria," saying it was based on "mutual respect".
