Damascus, SANA- President Bashar al-Assad on Tuesday received a number of condolence cables on the demise of Deputy Prime Minister, Foreign and Expatriates Minister Walid al-Moallem.

In his cable, President of the Turkish National Party Dogo Princik, described the late al-Moallem as an expert man of state, an exceptional personality, and a dear friend of the Turkish people and the Turkish Republic, pointing out that his loss was not a big loss for the Syrian people, but also for the Turkish people and all the peoples of the region.

The Secretary-General of the General Conference of Arab Parties, Qassem Saleh, said that the Arab world lost with the departure of al-Moallem, a prominent figure in the political and diplomatic history of Syria, a veteran expert in politics and a solid defender of his homeland and its people, and one of the pillars of Syrian steadfastness.

Head of the Supreme Islamic Shiite Council in Lebanon, Sheikh Abd al-Amir Qabalan, said that with the departure of Minister al-Moallem, the nation has lost one of the most prominent Arab diplomats defending the right causes of their nation, just as Syria has lost a senior man of  state and a long-standing diplomat.
