The people of India are aware about the great and just fight of the people of Syria to protect and defend the unity, integrity and sovereignty of Syria. Syria and India have unique and centuries old relationship between their civilizations.

    India always stood with the people of Syria whenever the people of Syria were attacked or invaded. In 1947 India opposed partition of Palestine for creating a Jewish State. In 1967 India stood with the Arab world when Israel illegally occupied Arab land in violation of UN Charter. India has been continuously supporting the Arab countries and Palestinian leadership for the implementation of Resolution 242, 338 and other resolutions of the Security Council which had directed Israel to vacate all Arab lands, which Israel has been illegally occupying since 1967. The western power have always betrayed the Arabs and their interests lies in the oils, waters and strategic lands of the Arabs.

    Today, several hundred activists of these political parties and groups have assembled in front of the Embassy of Syria to express solidarity of India with the people of Syria. India strongly condemns the Israeli attack on the Research Centre of Syria on Wednesday as this amounted to naked and illegal act of aggression against the sovereignty of the Republic of Syria.

    May be convey our full support to the people of Syria and President, Dr. Bashar-al-Assad assuring that people of India and all the right thinking and peace loving people of the world stand by the people of Syria.
