Deputy FM Holds Countries Sending Terrorists to Syria Responsible for Bloodshed

DAMASCUS- Faysal al-Mikdad Mikdad, the Deputy Foreign and Expatriates Minister, has held parties in the United States, France, Britain, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and other countries who send killers to Syria, directly responsible for shedding the blood of the Syrians.

“Those who support terrorism in Syria have nothing to do with humanity, “al-Mikdad said in an interview with the Syrian TV on Wednesday.

He stressed that the issue of inciting terrorism is one of the top articles of the UN Security Council resolutions relating to combating terrorism. “The incitement practiced by these countries had exasperated the problem of terrorism not only in Syria but in the entire world.

The Deputy Foreign Minister pointed out that the massacre perpetrated by the armed terrorist groups against the citizens in the city of Adra will be a source of terror to the world when the details and the full reality of this massacre are exposed.

“This massacre should urge the whole world to reconsider their stances and change the way they deal with those who provide weapons and money  to terrorists and who send fighters to  join the armed groups,” al-Mikdad said.

He criticized the double standards policy adopted by Western countries on terrorism, condemning their complete silence regarding the massacres being committed by the armed terrorist groups in Adra without any reason.

Al-Mikdad clarified that Syria informs the UN and the Security Council about the armed terrorist groups’ crimes and violations, but the UN’s role was unfortunately shameful, “because some influential members in UN thought that events in Syria will have the same ending of the events which took place in Egypt, Tunisia and Libya and ended in weeks with the help of the misleading media machine and its tools. However, the steadfastness of the Syrian people, army and leadership has foiled the scheme set for Syria.”

The Syrian diplomat said that what cannot be tolerated is that terrorists from all over the world are gathering in Syria, while some international bodies are still describing them as people who completely have nothing to do with terrorism.

He added that the Saudi regime shamelessly and blatantly continues to pump more funds and weapons to the terrorists in Syria and Iraq under a cover by the Israeli intelligence.

He pointed out that the Saudi-Israeli ties have become public, as the two sides are exchanging visits and talks and they have joint operation rooms.

He also condemned the Turkish role under Erdogan’s government in supporting terrorism in Syria.

Al-Mikdad said that the United States, which claims that it provides “non-lethal” weapons to the armed terrorist groups in Syria, has actually sent most serious lethal weapons to those terrorists

On Geneva-2 conference, al-Mikdad said “Syria will go to Geneva and is ready to contribute to making it a success.

“We are not going to Geneva to sit with terrorists. The United States should be precise and clear in this respect, as it promised Russia that it will convince the opposition to take part, but it has failed so far,” he added.
