“The political vision must be renewed in a way that preserves the fundamental principles of the Syrian revolution and keeps pace with the current reality,” Al-Hariri said. He added that the SOC’s political committee has already prepared a draft of a national political vision.
“The current challenges require that we work together,” he said, pointing to the need for a comprehensive reviewing of the institutions of the revolution and the bodies and institutions in which they operate. He said that this reviewing comes at the top of the SOC’s list of priorities as the legitimate representative of the Syrian people.
