Syrian ambassador to the United Nations Bashar al-Jaafari stressed that the solution for the ongoing crisis in the country couldn’t be but a Syrian one, saying that Damascus was full ready to cooperate with the new UN envoy al-Akhdar al-Ibrahimi. As he was addressing the UN General Assembly about the crisis on Tuesday, Jaafari said Syria agreed to the appointment of Ibrahimi. "My country, Syria, agreed to the appointment of Mr. Lakhdar Brahimi as the special representative of the United Nations secretary-general," Jaafari said, accroding to Xinhua. "My country declared its full preparedness to cooperate with him with a view to bringing about a success of his efforts." Ibrahimi, the former Algerian foreign minister, formally replaced Kofi Annan as the international mediator on the Syrian conflict on September 1. Annan, the former UN secretary-general, announced his resignation as the special envoy for Syria in early August, conceding his failure to mediate a way out of the prolonged crisis. For his part, the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told the assembly that the humanitarian situation in Syria is "grave and deteriorating," according to Reuters. Ban also accused both the Syrian government and the insurgents of large scale human rights violations, said The Associated Press.  President al-Assad: Syria welcomes Red Cross humanitarian operations in Syria as long as it works independently and neutrally Speaker al-Lahham: Syria was a pioneer and founder of Arab common action, most of those who shed tears over Syrians participated in killing them Authorities release 14 kidnapped persons in Aleppo, pursue and kill terrorists in Aleppo, Hama, Daraa and Idleb Cabinet discuss state of petroleum products and local fuel needs in order to meet them Local Administration Ministry calls on citizens to return to their homes in secured neighborhoods in Homs 5 citizens martyred, 23 injured in Car bomb explosion in Jaramana Information Minister: Syria facing massive conspiracy and terrorist, extremist mentality… solution is purely Syrian Armed forces clean a number of neighborhoods in Aleppo and its countryside, kill scores of terrorists National Media Council condemns targeting national media as targeting of freedom of expression
