"The Ministry, which welcomes the invitation of Russia to Minister al-Moallem to visit Moscow and meet his Russian Counterpart Sergey Lavrov, refers, at the same time, to what has been reported about a meeting with the opposition, affirming Syria has repeatedly declared its stance that Damascus doors are open for dialogue, on the Syrian land and under the umbrella of Homeland, with the opposition inside and outside according to the political solution program adopted by the Syrian government," it said.
