Syria remains committed to dialogue to find a solution to the crisis, but will not allow its constitution to become a bargaining chip, Syrian President Bashar Assad said at a meeting with heads of local councils on Sunday.

Axar.az reports citing Russian media.

"We will not allow the hostile states to achieve any of their objectives through their agents who hold the Syrian nationality," Syria’s SANA news agency said citing the president.

He has warned that "Turkish accomplices" got into the constitutional committee that is formed in accordance with the Syrian National Dialogue Congress’ decision (held on January 30-31, 2018).

"The Constitution, like the sovereignty of states, is a matter dealing with the destiny of the homeland and it should not be disregarded as otherwise we will have to pay far more than for war," Assad said.

The Syrian leader lashed out at the "hostile countries which are still insisting on their aggression and obstruction of any special process like those in Sochi and Astana.".
