Saudi Arabia gave aid to Pakistan without any conditions. Neither Pakistan took U-turn on the issue of Syria nor it was sending troops or arms there,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He said Pakistan\u2019s stance was clear as it would not get involved in Syria conflict and support Geneva-I and Geneva-II pacts.<\/p>\n<h2>\u2018Pakistan supports dialogue in Syria\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>Aziz said Pakistan supports dialogue in Syria, which is the only way to resolve the fratricidal civil strife there. \u201cPakistan calls for immediate withdrawal of all foreign armed forces and groups from Syria. Pakistan\u00a0favours rapid, safe and unhindered humanitarian access for UN\u00a0humanitarian agencies, lifting of siege of Syria towns and villages as well as establishment of a transitional governing body with full executive powers.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>\u2018Saudi granted 1.5 billion dollars aid to Pakistan\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>Pakistani leaders have said Saudi Arabia\u2019s $1.5 billion aid to Pakistan was not a loan but a gift<\/p>\n<p>Aziz said Pakistan had to maintain balance regarding relations with Saudi Arabia and Iran. \u201cPrime Minister Nawaz Sharif would soon be visiting Iran,\u201dhe said.<\/p>\n<p>He admitted that Saudi Arabia has purchased weapons from the country. \u201cSaudi Arabia would not use these weapons against any other State.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The regime forces in Syria are making rapid gains against the rebels.<\/p>\n<p><em>Write your comments and thoughts below<\/em><\/p>\n<p><b>Asia News<\/b><strong>\/ NationalTurk Pakistan News<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pakistan has once again said the country was neither sending arms nor fighters to conflict-hit Syria, where regime forces are making gains.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":732,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30,80,63,1,118,37,101,14],"tags":[38855,66389,43475,39908,66392,66393,66388,1134,47255,44685,636,23297,66390,53572,9002,21615,66391],"class_list":["post-48492","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-asia","category-breaking-news","category-daily","category-general","category-hot","category-middle-east","category-politics","category-world","tag-arms","tag-conflict-hit","tag-dialogue","tag-fighters","tag-geneva-i","tag-geneva-ii-pacts","tag-gift","tag-iran","tag-lawmakers","tag-nawaz-sharif","tag-pakistan","tag-pakistan-prime-minister","tag-regime-forces","tag-sartaj-aziz","tag-syria","tag-syria-conflict","tag-u-turn"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48492","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/732"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=48492"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48492\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48492"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=48492"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=48492"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
