Syria's Prime Minister Mohammad Naji Ottri on Sunday was quoted as saying that that priority is now given to "further advance the path of reform and modernization led by President Bashar al-Assad."
Commenting on the so-called "Syria Accountability Act" the Syrian Premier said the disputes between the Arabs and the U.S. are related basically to the continued "Israeli occupation of the Arab lands and its denial of the Palestinians’ legitimate rights."
