From Akram, the chief Angry Arab correspondent in Syria: "Today, Al-Akbar
English published a piece of Jean Aziz telling what seems to be the Syrian
account on the meeting between the Syrian president Bashar Al-Assad and the UN
envoy Kofi Annan. And here is the last part of this piece:
......
The formal meeting concluded, but there was
still time for some closing remarks. Getting ready to leave, Annan asked his
host, “How long do you think this crisis will continue?”
“As long as the [...] regime funds it,” Assad
replied. But Annan was not surprised by the answer. “Do you think they are
behind all the funding?” he inquired.
.......
Al-Assad was meaning Qatar. But it's clear that he doesn't even dare
to say it publicly even through an untraceable story. This man misses the smell
of the gulf oil and, with no doubt, dreams the good old days could be back."
