"Everybody should be able to vote the eligible ones. In Syria or outside of the Syria including refugees in my country and neighboring countries who were resettled in the last seven years. It has to be very credible ones, transparent democratic and fair elections. And at the end Syrian people should decide who is going to rule the country," he added.
