2011-12-27
[An Nahar] Head of the opposition Syrian National Council (SNC) Burhan Ghalioun denied on Monday that the collapse of Syrian Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad's

regime will not lead to the deterioration of relations with Iran and Hizbullah.

"The relations with Iran and Hizbullah after the toppling of Assad will be normal and not strategic as they are right now," Ghalioun told the pan-Arab daily Asharq al-Awsat.

He stressed that no one can demand "special ties" with the Syrian opposition unless they believe in the importance of "the Syrian people's freedom."

Asked about Friday's two deadly bombings against Syrian security forces in Damascus

, which killed 44 people and maimed another 166, Ghalioun said: "The bombings have the signs of the Syrian intelligence, but this will not stop the Syrian people from going ahead with their revolution to topple the regime."

He told the daily that the Syrian authorities are seeking to manipulate the Arab observer mission.

"The Syrian people are determined to topple the regime at all costs... We want to stop its blackmail and the Arab league should head to the United Nations
...Parkinson's Law on an international scale...
