Aloush told Ammannet that Syria is looking forward to its relationship with Jordan, considering that the strength of Jordan is the strength of Syria.
He believes: 'The importance of raising levels of diplomatic representation reflects the brotherly relation between the two countries.'
Aloush's statement comes from a special interview conducted by the director of Radio Balad Ataf Al Ruodan. The following text is of the interview:
How do you see the role of Jordan's relationship with Syria in the near future, especially after the positive developments in the recent period between the two countries?
If we want to talk about the historical, geographical and cultural truth, then we see that the relation between the two countries should be distinct, especially since the people demand it, but the reality of the situation does not reflect this.
Will we reach a higher coordination in vital fields such as economy, reconstruction, co-operation and co-ordination, security and information and the war-on-terror?
The Jordanian situation is complicated due to the economic crisis in Jordan and the pressures and political conditions imposed on it, in terms of its relationship with the Syrian state. There are developments in the relationship between the two countries but didn't take the political dimension required, but remained in limited fields. It certainly reflects the political will of Jordan to strengthen its relations with Syria based on its belief in this, but the pressure of some countries still prevent this.
Recently, Syria has visited many delegations in all fields. They have heard from the leadership in Syria the best words and they have returned with the best impression of Syria's keenness on Jordan in all security and economic fields. As President Bashar Al Assad said, 'we do not look back.'
Will we see a full restoration of diplomatic relations between the two countries in the near future?
We in Syria want to look forward to our relationship with Jordan and ensure the strength of Jordan for it's a force for Syria. We believe that Jordan has raised the level of representation in Syria by appointing diplomat a by the title of 'consultant' to its embassy in Damascus, stating 'maintaining the levels of ambition of both countries'.
Our enemy is the Zionist occupying our dear Palestine, and brotherly Jordan is targeted just as Syria was targeted. If Syria was targeted militarily, Jordan is targeted economically for the purpose of weakening and blackmailing it politically and militarily. We are fully confident that there is nothing to differentiate between our two countries. As our history, our future and our strength in strengthening our relations reflects the level of ambition in both countries.
