Any Foreign Aggression on Syria will lead to Catastrophic Consequences on the Region, says Mikdad
DAMASCUS, (ST) “any foreign military aggression on Syria will be costly and lead to catastrophic consequences on the region, “underscored Deputy Foreign and Expatriates Minister, Dr. Fayssal Mikdad.
Interviewed by al-Manar TV Channel on Thursday, Mikdad clarified that a psychological war has been launched against Syria since the beginning of 2011 and those who think of waging aggression on Syria should consider the consequences of such aggression on the entire region.
Mikdad described the western fierce campaign against Syria over allegations of chemical weapons as “dramatic”, reiterating that if chemical weapons exist in Syria, they will definitely not be used against the Syrian people.
Mikdad voiced deep concern over a western scheme to provide terrorists with chemical weapons to accuse the Syrian army of using them in order to justify the military intervention.
“Israel has the upper hand in the ongoing events in Syria and the Arab region, adding that the U.S. administration is embracing the allegations of chemical weapons and all formulas that help rescue Israel from the impasse in which it has put itself due to its policies of occupation and settlement in the Arab region,”affirmed al-Mikdad.
As for solving the crisis in Syria,al-Mikdad emphasized that the solution to the crisis in Syria is a political one.
He added that Russia asked Turkey to stop its support and facilitation of gunmen’s flow to Syria and called upon the EU and the US not to interfere in Syria’s affairs.
Mikdad said the ballot box will be the decisive criterion among all parties that will determine who will lead Syria, adding that Russia, which rejects any military intervention in any part of the world, cannot negotiate on the behalf of the Syrian people because it respects its sovereignty.
He added that there are some countries which came under the rule of Muslim Brotherhood groups are working to isolate Syria, pointing out that these groups support terrorism in Syria, unlike the peoples of these counties who support Syria and its people, and they will expose the reality of these groups.
Mikdad said that Turkey’s request to deploy Patriot missiles on the Syrian-Turkish borders indicates its bankruptcy, adding that the problem lies in the policy of the Turkish “Brotherhood” government towards Syria as Erdogan’s government appeals to the NATO to interfere against the Syrian people who have good feelings towards the Turkish people.
Furthermore, Turkey has armed the terrorists and called upon al-Qaeda terrorists to come and opened its borders for them to enter Syria, then it funded, harbored and trained them, but all this has yielded nothing on the ground that may give the impression that the Turkish government led by Erdogan is achieving its goals.
Concerning the Future Bloc’s involvement in the current events in Syria and the confession of Oqab Saqr on supplying terrorists with money and arms, Mikdad wondered if Syria can just stand and do nothing while Saad al-Hariri and Oqab Saqr provide money and arms to terrorists to kill the Syrian people.
Mikdad said that the French stances have become disgustingly hackneyed and supportive of terrorism, adding that all those who provoked hostility towards Syria, namely Chirac or Sarkozy, are gone and the Syrian leadership is still there.
”Saudi Arabia’s latest stances have no logic to them, and are devoid of any purported interest in the wellbeing and sovereignty of Syria. The Saudi ruling family sides with terrorism in Syria, that’s why we urge Saudi Arabia to change course and refrain from backing terrorism.
The Arab governments’ stances on Syria ,Mikdad went on saying,do not reflect the stances of their own peoples, stressing that the Arab masses support Syria.
