Damascus: United Nations (UN) envoy Kofi Annan said Syrian regime was cooperating with the international observers.
While talking to a press conference after meeting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in Damascus on Tuesday, he said, “In my meeting with the president, I expressed appreciation for the cooperation that the Syrian government had extended to the UN, enabling us to deploy the military observers quickly.”
Annan travelled to Syria on Tuesday, after the tragic Houla killings in which hundreds of people, including many children, were killed last week.
“The Security Council has made clear the need for these killings to be investigated and for those responsible to be held accountable,” AP quoted him as saying. “I also note that the government of Syria is organizing its own investigation and that is very encouraging.”
Assad also called for an end to the terrorist activities in Syria, saying Annan’s peace plan will be successful if weapons smuggling and terrorism is contained.
