Foreign interference hindering peaceful solution to crisis

One of the main factors that have complicated the crisis in Syria is the foreign intervention in Syria’s internal affairs by the US and its regional allies. Such flagrant interference is considered the main stumbling block that hinders reaching a peaceful solution to the crisis.

The US, Turkey, Qatar and Saudi Arabia have been interfering in Syria’s internal affairs targeting Syria’s pivotal role in supporting resistance to Israeli occupation and confronting the sinister plans drawn for the Arab region such as the Grand Middle East or the New Middle East announced by the former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice when Israel launched its aggression against Lebanon in 2006.

The Western intervention in Syria’s internal affairs has been taking various forms, especially through launching fierce instigative media campaign against Syria to distort facts and mislead the world public opinion concerning what is going on in Syria.

These states have been employing instigative media channels which, in turn, have been working on fabricating lies about the situation in Syria with the aim of misleading the world public opinion and depicting the ugly atrocities and criminal acts of terrorists in Syria as a revolution for freedom. These channels have been claiming that the Syrian Arab army committed massacres against Syrians, but in fact, the Syrian Arab army has been performing its national duty in protecting Syrian people against the criminal and sabotage acts committed by these terrorist groups who terrified Syrians, drove them out of their houses and destroyed public and private properties.

Another more dangerous form of intervention in Syria’s internal affairs is represented by hosting, training and sending terrorists to Syria to commit crimes against Syrians and their public and private properties.

Throughout the past two years, there were many media and political releases about the unlimited support offered by these states to the terrorist groups in Syria. Various kinds of weapons, highly-developed communication devices and huge funds were smuggled via Turkey and other border outlets to reach terrorist groups and the so-called Jihaddists who came from Libya, Afghanistan, Chechnya  and other countries to carry out savage crimes against Syrian people and their properties. The British, the Times newspaper unveiled news about a large shipment of weapons which arrived in Turkey to be delivered to the armed terrorist groups in Syria a few months ago.

Some members of the so-called “Free Army” militia recently confessed that more than 1, 500 foreign “Jihaddists” entered Syria during the past few days via Turkey that facilitated their entry.

New media releases said that the number of foreign fighters in Syria amounted to 17 thousand, most of them are of Saudi nationalities. The Chechens make up the majority of non-Arab fighters.

The current  Turkish government, the US administration and their Arab allies, who claim their support for Syrian people and show themselves as defenders of democracy in the world, have been ignoring the legitimate demands of their people who are asking them not to interfere in Syria’s internal affairs.
