(MENAFN- Emirates News Agency (WAM)) The Jordanian government has warned the Syrian government about its "accusatory rhetoric, which has nothing to do with reality", and of its continuing to level accusations against other countries, saying that the said Syrian authorities' failure to bring their people to the dialogue table is the cause of Syria's problems and nothing else.
Government Spokesman and State Minister for Media Affairs, Mohammad Momani, said on Monday that Jordan continues to advocate a political solution to the Syria crisis and will not accept any questioning of its pro-Syrian people stances.
The minister said it remains in Jordan's interest to see Syria secure and stable and capable of keeping its problems at home.
In a statement to the Jordan News Agency, Petra, Momani said the Syrian crisis had forced about 1.5 million Syrians to flee their homeland to Jordan, placing massive economic, social and financial pressures on the Kingdom. He added that the cost of hosting the Syrian refugees in the Kingdom is more than $2.9 billion a year, noting that there are 140,000 Syrian students studying at Jordanian schools, let alone the military burden being borne by Jordan to secure the borders which Syrian authorities don't protect from their side.
