Syrian Foreign and Expatriates Ministry Spokesman, Jihad Maqdisi, regretted and voiced astonishment over US State Department spokesman Mark Toner's statements and his misquoting President Bashar al-Assad's interview with ABC channel.
 
Maqdisi described Toner's statements as "not professional and inexact," saying that "it is regrettable and not normal that the US State Department falsifies al-Assad's statements."
 
Earlier on the day, Toner made statements and hypothetical conclusions about President al-Assad's claiming that he's either mad or out of reality.

Stating that "Toner commented on information reported by some persons, even before President al-Assad's interview was aired, the Syrian official considered that "there is unjustified media fuss about a speech taken out from its normal context."

Commenting on meeting between Clinton and some Syrian opposition members, Maqdisi confirmed that "we (Syrian Leadership) believe in dialogue, and the solution is totally Syrian."

" We would also like that UN Security Council permanent members commit themselves to the UN Charter in preserving international security and stability; and accordingly not to resort to meetings as to destabilize regimes," added Maqdisi.
 
Maqdisi hoped that "the aim of such a meeting would be as to convince them to come to dialogue table and not for the more of exclusion and isolation pursued by opposition."

Hailing Turkey's recent statement as to preserve good neighborly relations with Syria, he asserted that "Syria has reached an advanced phase of cooperation with Turkey."

"If the Turkish side wanted to make a critical reconsideration of the unjustified stances, we do welcome them and are prepared to resume this cooperation," he concluded.
