(Zaman Al Wasl)- Nofal al-Dawalibi, the spokesman of the National Unity Movement to Liberate Syria, reveals to Zaman al-Wasl that his party “the Liberated Nationalists Party”, has ceased the Transitional Revolutionary Government announced in April 2012, because they found it would not be independent as a result of many international agendas and dictations.

In regard to Russian role in Syria, he explains that no direct risk on Russia if Bashar al-Assad stayed or if the Syrian Regime was changed, as there are no direct boarders between them.

“However, Russia needs to secure its strategic interests in the region and found bases like USA, as long as it did not find an alternative to al-Assad, it would keep its attitude from Syria”

He adds that the Russian ruble dropped from 28 to 84 against the US Dollar, he anticipated that Russia could be at the brink of an economical crisis.

In regard to the reasons behind the stand-still status of the Syrian crisis, al-Dawalibi does not think that Russian and Iranian roles, the Nature of the battles on ground and lack of fund and support are the only factors, he thinks that a National will led to recent situation, as interests of Russia, Iran, USA and Israel met and conflicted by the Syrian crisis.

Al-Dawalibi confirms that fevered communications and activitiesو international and with Syrian figures and parties, are going on regarding to the Syrian revolution, started since allocating Anan as an Envoy to Syria, “But in the end, no solution would be acceptable unless it gives the Syrian people their rights, fulfils their goals, and values their unprecedented sacrifices.”

He confessed that the “Liberated Nationalist Party” has at the moment no effects on the existing agendas and dictations, and its sources are limited.

He expresses his opinion in the National Coalition as a nationally recognised opposition body, but still it has not been up to expectations, and it is controlled by dependency, dictations and personal interest.

Nawaf al-Dawalibi expresses his attitude toward the Muslim Brotherhoods saying: “they want to harvest fruit before even planting the tree.”

In regard to other opposition’s bodies especially the Coordination body, he explains that they support every formation adopt and defend the wide principles of the Syrian revolution and who pretend to support the revolution is well known.
