Prince Saud Al-Faisal, Minister of Foreign Affairs, stressed that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will be at the forefront of any international effort to achieve urgent, comprehensive and effective solutions to protect the Syrian people and the Kingdom cannot participate in any work that does not solve the crisis quickly and effectively. In his speech to the participants in the International Conference for Friends of Syria held today in Tunis, Prince Saud asserted what is happening in Syria is a serious tragedy which cannot be tolerated. He added that the Syrian regime lost its legitimacy and became more like the occupation authority. “The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia holds morally responsible the international parties that disrupt the international move for the way things turned out, especially if these parties continue in their failing and blind stances on the interests of the Syrian people,” Saud Al-Faisal said. "The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia subscribes to the draft statement which focuses on the humanitarian situations in the affected areas,” he added. Prince Saud expressed thanks to the Tunisian government for organizing this conference.
