Srikandi - Pilihan
raya Syria tidak memerlukan pengesahan Barat untuk dianggap sah, ia adalah
suara-suara rakyat Syria sendiri yang membuat undi sah, penasihat media
Presiden Assad, Bouthaina Shaaban memberitahu RT.
Kemenangan
‘victory’
Bashar Assad minggu ini di dalam pungutan suara presiden Syria dengan 88.7 % peratus
undi, Shaaban berkata, jelas menunjukkan bahawa walaupun negara yang dilanda
perang mempunyai hak untuk menentukan masa depan sendiri, kerana beberapa 11
daripada 15 juta pergi ke pemilihan.
"Kami
tidak benar-benar menunggu kesahihan dari Barat," kata Shaaban, menuduh
negara-negara Barat dan Arab yang mensasarkan Syria, melengkapkan dan membiayai
pembangkang kejam bercanggah 3 tahun panjang. "Rakyat Syria bukan sahaja
mengundi untuk Presiden Assad, saya fikir mereka mengundi untuk Syria. Mereka
mengundi menentang asing.
WEST
has no RIGHTt to give or REFUSE Syrian people legitimacy - Assad's advisor . .
.
The
Syrian election does not need Western endorsement to be considered legitimate,
it is the voices of Syrian people themselves that make the vote legitimate,
President Assad’s media advisor, Bouthaina Shaaban told RT.
This
week's Bashar Assad victory
in the Syrian presidential poll with 88.7 percent of the vote, Shaaban says,
clearly shows that even a war-torn country has the right to decide its own
future, as some 11 out of 15 million went to the polls.
“We
are not really waiting for legitimacy from the West,” Shaaban said, accusing
Western and Arab countries of targeting Syria, arming and financing the brutal
opposition in a 3-year-long conflict. “The Syrian people not only voted for
President Assad, I think they voted for Syria. They voted against foreign.

Sebagai
Syria pergi ke pemilihan pada Selasa, jurucakap Jabatan Negara Amerika Syarikat
Marie Harf menerangkan undi sebagai "memalukan," berkata Assad
"tidak mempunyai kredibiliti yang banyak hari ini bahawa dia lakukan
semalam."
"Detached
daripada realiti dan tidak mempunyai penglibatan politik, rejim- Assad dipentaskan
pilihan raya hari ini terus warisan keluarga 40 tahun penindasan ganas yang
kejam menghancurkan perbezaan pendapat politik dan gagal memenuhi aspirasi
Syria 'untuk keamanan dan kemakmuran," kata Harf.
Sebagai
tindak balas kepada Barat, dan terutamanya kritikan Amerika Syarikat pilihan
raya, Shaaban sekali lagi mengulangi bahawa Amerika Syarikat tidak menetapkan
standard kesahihan global.
"Saya
ingin mengatakan kepada semua pegawai Barat yang mengatakan mereka tidak akan
mengakui ia – adalah yang datang hari-hari apabila kesahihan berasal dari
Barat. Barat tidak mempunyai hak untuk memberikan rakyat kita kesahihan. Ia
adalah orang-orang Syria yang membuat pilihan raya ini yang sah. Ia tidak
William Hague, mahupun Amerika Syarikat, mahupun Perancis."
Syria,
penasihat media itu berkata, tidak peduli apa yang Barat fikirkan apa kerana
rak-yat pasti "bahawa negara-negara Barat hanya sasaran kami, hanya mahu
memus-nahkan negara kami."
Beliau
berkata pilihan raya yang sah dan juga di kawasan-kawasan yang dilanda perang
negara orang berjaya untuk mengundi.
"Apabila
kita mengkaji negara ini, kebanyakan penduduk adalah di kawasan-kawasan di mana
mereka boleh mengundi. Kami tidak bercakap mengenai ruang geografi. Kita bercakap
tentang orang . . . Orang ramai mudah alih, bangunan mereka yang anda tidak
boleh bergerak dari satu tempat ke tempat yang lain. Dan oleh itu rakyat Syria
mengundi dan berkata undi mereka."
Tambahan
pula, Shaaban kata Presiden Assad lakukan segala-galanya dalam kuasanya untuk
memastikan bahawa pesaing lain dalam perlumbaan presiden jangka 7 tahun
menerima pendedahan awam maksimum untuk membenarkan pilihan demokrasi di negara
ini.
"Sejak
pencalonan daripada 3 calon, Presiden Assad memutuskan untuk tidak memberi
apa-apa kepada mana-mana temu bual media, tidak memberikan apa-apa ucapan,
untuk tidak membuat sebarang penampilan awam untuk memberi ruang kepada
kedua-dua calon supaya mereka boleh memberi temu bual, mereka boleh bercakap
dengan orang, supaya mereka mendapat lebih diketahui. Saya fikir Presiden Assad
melakukan yang terbaik untuk meningkatkan peluang 2 lagi calon."
Setakat
nasib selepas pilihan raya Syria, Shaaban mengatakan bahawa semua orang
"mahu mengembalikan keamanan dan keselamatan" dan untuk membina
semula negara ini. Tumpuan juga akan diberikan kepada perdamaian.
"Mereka
mahu membina negara mereka. Dan mereka mahu lakukan perdamaian, Syria -
Perdamaian Syria"
As
Syrians went to the polls on Tuesday, US State Department spokesperson Marie
Harf described the vote as “a disgrace,” saying Assad “has no more credibility
today that he did yesterday.”
“Detached
from reality and devoid of political participation, the Assad regime-staged
election today continues a 40-year family legacy of violent suppression that
brutally crushes political dissent and fails to fulfill Syrians' aspirations
for peace and prosperity,” said Harf.
In
response to Western, and especially US criticism of the election, Shaaban once
again reiterated that the US does not set the global legitimacy standards.
“I
would like to say to all Western officials who say they will not acknowledge it
– gone are days when legitimacy was derived from the West. The West has no
right to give our people legitimacy. It is the Syrian people who make this
election legitimate. Its neither William Hague, nor the US, nor France.”
Syrians,
the media adviser says, don't care what West thinks what because citizens are
certain “that Western countries only target us, only want to destroy our
country.”
She
says the elections were legitimate and even in war-torn regions of the country
people managed to vote.
“When
we studied the country, most of the population are in areas where they can
vote. We are not talking about geographical space. We are talking about
people... People are mobile, they are not buildings that you can’t move from
one place to the other. And therefore Syrian people voted and said their vote.”
Furthermore,
Shaaban says President Assad did everything in his power to ensure that other
contenders in the 7-year-term presidential race received maximum public
exposure to allow a democratic choice in the country.
“Since
the nomination of the three candidates, president Assad decided not to give any
interviews to any media, not to give any speeches, not to make any public
appearances in order to give space to two candidates so they can give the
interviews, they can talk to people, so they get more known. I think President
Assad did his best to elevate the chances of the other two candidates.”
As
far as the fate of post-election Syria, Shaaban says that everyone “wants to
restore peace and security” and to rebuild the country. The focus will also be
on reconciliation.
“They
want to build their country. And they want to do reconciliation, Syrian –
Syrian reconciliation.”
