Justice Minister: Presidential elections held according to high criteria of transparency
 Minister of Justice Najm al-Ahmad stressed that the presidential elections, held in the presence of Arab and foreign parliamentarians and media delegations, were unprecedentedly successful.

"The success of elections directed a blow to the countries conspiring on Syria and revealed a message that they should respect the will of the Syrian people and their right to choose their president without dictations" the Minister said in an interview with Syrian TV Wednesday.

"What characterizes the process is that it was carried out with high transparency under the supervision of judiciary and media, which was not restricted to the national media but also comprised a big number of foreign outlets" he added.

Al-Ahmad expressed hope that elections would lay the foundations of a new stage of stability so that Syria becomes better than any time before, calling upon Syrians to boost the democratic process.

The Minister congratulated the Syrian people for their great democratic choice that set a new victory to be added to the victories achieved by the Syrian Arab Army.

He also congratulated Dr. Bashar al-Assad, who gained the confidence and trust of Syrian people for his wise leadership, and the other candidates Hassan al-Nouri and Maher al-Hajjar.
