Russia: External interference in Syria was based on international terrorism in all its forms, especially military and economic

Moscow (ST): The Russian Foreign Ministry affirmed that the crisis in Syria is the result of external interference in its internal affairs, noting that this intervention depended on international terrorism in all its forms, especially military and economic.

The Russian Foreign Ministry indicated in a statement today that the countries that directly participated in the occurrence of this crisis are practicing double standards and continue to support forces that refuse dialogue to resolve the crisis, including terrorist organizations, stressing that these countries “bear the basic amount of responsibility for the continuation of this crisis.”

The statement added that Russian policies towards Syria were and still are based on respecting the country’s sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity, stressing that Russia made a decisive contribution to defeating the terrorist organization “ISIS” and inflicting losses on other international terrorist organizations in Syria.

The statement stressed that “Moscow, which takes a firm stand against international terrorism in all its forms and provides support in eliminating it in the Syrian territories, is sticking to its support for the political process led by the Syrians themselves in accordance with UN Security Council Resolution 2254 and is doing everything it can in this regard within its contacts with both the government and the opposition.

The statement pointed out  that the unilateral coercive measures against Syria are the result of the failure to implement Western plans against it militarily, stressing  that the West is politicizing the humanitarian aid file despite the suffering of the Syrian people due to the Corona pandemic and insists on sending it only to the areas where its agents are present.

The statement concluded by calling for not to politicize  the crisis and to actively engage in providing international aid to the Syrian people in various fields.
