Al-Lahham censures terrorism-supporter governments

HAVANA,(ST)_Mohammad Jehad al-Lahham has appealed to world parliaments to press terrorism-supporter governments to halt their practices, citing astonishing attitude of some states that allege combating terrorism and, at the same time, offer all forms of support to terrorists.

The Speaker of the People’s Assembly also called on the international community to back political plan to peacefully resolve the crisis in Syria and stand by efforts being exerted to halt violence being perpetrated by armed Takfiri terrorist groups in the country. 

Systematic destruction”

Speaking to the Cuban Workers Newspaper after his participation in the 128th International Parliamentary Union’s General Assembly meeting held in Ecuador, al-Lahham said: “the terrorism backed by some international and regional states targets Syrian people and land, and seeks to systematically destroy the country’s infrastructure and properties (public and private ones).”

He warned against dangerous role of delusive mass media that falsify facts and fuel violence.

Al-Lahham decried terrorism supporters, particularly the Turkish government, that arm and shelter terrorists to be exported to Syria.

“The Syrian delegation’s participation in the IPU meeting helped explain the reality of what is going on in Syria,” the Speaker said.

He thanked Cuba, all Latin American states and the  BRICS nations for supporting Syria, noting deep-rooted ties between the two countries (Syria and Cuba).

US unjust blockage

“Syria condemns the unjust 60-year old blockage imposed by the US on Cuban people,” Al-Lahham said, stressing that the blockage is a breach of the UN charter and international law.

 He asserted that Syria is to achieve victory thanks for its people’s awareness and determination and their support for the leadership.
