CAIRO, Aug. 7 (Xinhua) -- Arab League Secretary General Nabil el-Arabi urged on Sunday the Syrian authorities to immediately halt all violent acts and security campaigns against civilians and speedily execute reforms to end its domestic crisis.

In a statement, Arabi expressed his growing concern over the deterioration of the security situation in Syria due to escalation of violence and military operations in Hama, Deir al-Zour and several areas.

He said "the chance is now there to make reforms proclaimed by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in response to the Syrian people' s ambitions and their legitimate demands in freedom, change and make the political reforms."

He called the Syrian authorities to immediately halt all acts of violence, security campaigns and urgently take the necessary steps in this regard to maintain the national unity of the Syrian people.

Arabi also called the government and the Syrian national powers to take what is necessary to pave the road for serious engagement in comprehensive national dialogue.

He asserted that such dialogue is the only solution that guarantees peaceful transition to a stage of stability which provides a chance to implement aspired political reforms in a secured and stabilized environment.

He said "the AL is ready to present any help in this regard to get out of crucial crises that Syria passes through."

He warned against possible chaos and sectarian sedition in Syria.

He said the AL rejected foreign interference in the internal affairs of the Arab countries, and seeks the safety of its members and their political stability.
