Russia ( 06.09.13 ) on Friday afternoon local time , President of the attitude and views on the Syrian conflict . In the meeting of G - 20 , not all countries expressed views on Syria , even though the Islamic state . They said that there was no direct interest , so they leave it to Syria , the Arab League and the Security Council of the United Nations ( UN ) .In a statement the President , he said that Indonesia is geographically not located in the Middle East , such as Turkey or Iran is not involved directly with the problem area . It would be different if the conflict in Southeast Asia , such as the case of Myanmar . Indonesia is also not a member of the UN Security Council and Veto holder . However , why Indonesia cares ? Because Indonesia has a moral obligation , with a number of reasons : First , Indonesia 's largest Islamic country , Syria is also an Islamic state . Second , Indonesia has a constitutional mandate to keep the peace .In the dinner party , the leader of the G - 20 talks marred by the Syrian issue . The views of the leaders of the G20 different . There are two streams of opinion . First glance , to have the use of chemical weapons , and they thought it was backed by the orders of President Assad , it launched military action necessary , to punish even without a UN mandate . Second glance , without the mandate of the UN Security Council and without any valid evidence that ordered the use of chemical weapons is President Assad , then do not try to take military action .President also expressed his attitude at a meeting with the UN Secretary General . Yesterday , the President received a letter dr 11 international NGOs working in the humanitarian field , in which the letter was also sent to 40 heads of state . The letter contains the support to stop the violence in Syria . Specifically to the President , International NGO requested that the G - 20 meeting discussed the formulation of the conflict in Syria . Previously , the president wrote in the Sunday Times on July 22, 2012 , that the conflict in Syria could be overcome by appropriate means . Last year , while attending the G8 , the President together with the president of Iran , Turkey , Pakistan , Egypt and the vice president have a dialogue to resolve the Syrian conflict .In situations like this , the use of military force to attack Syria with the aim of punishing without a UN mandate is not appropriate behavior . Problems that would be caused is not known how much , and it's not a solution that Indonesia expected .On the other hand , if the international community let alone , the Indonesian and international community must work to end the violence without using force miter . There are 3 main elements of the solution , namely :1 . Violence must end immediately .2 . Humanitarian aid to Syria could be implemented .3 . Affairs of the conflict in Syria is not through military solution but a political solution .The point is that the process of democratic political settlement should be implemented based on the will of the Syrian people themselves . The question is , who is to stop violence or execute three elements mentioned above ? According to the President , the answer is that the international community is mandated by the UN to expand 3 main tasks earlier and adhered to by the Syrian leader . For Indonesia , mandate or authority of the UN is the main . President understands that the price to be paid will be very expensive if the wrong decision . It is not the other , because of the military background as the president who had served as a peace keeper in the country who are experiencing conflict .The president also encouraged the Secretary-General United Nations mandate to immediately stop gun violence in Syria . With the UN mandate , if necessary , immediately implement a ceasefire. At the same time , should be immediately implemented a high -level meeting to create a framework for conflict resolution . When the cease-fire could be implemented is not impossible that there are greater opportunities for the political process , then we leave it to the Syrians for that process .In the meeting last night , the President also conveyed that there is no ideal option but it should always be the choice in the Syrian conflict resolution . In the middle is not simply the best option , but also have good intentions to find the best solution . President believes there is the best option , and he believes the U.S. president , Barack Obama will select the best solution for Syria . Furthermore , Indonesia will formulate measures of diplomacy and will continue to perform real action and recommendations for supporting the Syrian conflict resolution .
