EU Persists in Supporting Terrorism, Imposes Further Sanctions on Syrian People

LUXEMBURG-Within the framework of their support to terrorism and their immoral siege against the Syrian people who are facing unprecedented takfiri terrorism, countries of the European Union decided yesterday to impose new illegal and non-humanitarian sanctions against the Syrians.

Diplomatic sources announced that the EU foreign ministers, who met in Luxemburg on Monday, decided to “ban exporting jet fuel to Syria, prevent some Syrian ministers and personalities from travelling to Europe and impose sanctions on two Syrian companies.”     

The new sanctions are added to similar previous ones imposed by the United States on the Syrian people and led to the worsening of the living conditions of the Syrians as they mainly target the fuel sector. 

The European sanctions, which contradict the humanitarian international law, aim to put further pressure on the Syrian government and target the living of the Syrian citizens to force them to give up their steadfast stances in defense of their homeland. The sanctions also provide additional European support, beside weapons and money, to the armed terrorist groups, which the European states call “moderate”, in Syria.

These same “moderate” groups used to show their moderation by targeting schools and residential neighborhoods with suicide bombings and missiles which claimed the lives of thousands of innocent Syrians.
