DAMASCUS, (ST)_  Prof.   Muhammad Shahid Amin Khan, Chairman of the International Human Rights Commission, (IHRC),  blasted the ongoing foreign and some Arab inaccurate  media coverage of the events in Syria as a ” war against humanity”, calling on the countries supporting the acts of terror against Syrians to halt their destructive backing to terrorism.

In an exclusive talk with the Syria Times Editor-in-Chief here yesterday,    Prof.  Khan underscored that only a peaceful solution is possible to the crisis in Syria and by the Syrians themselves through peaceful means away from whatever foreign meddling .

”It is only the right of the Syrians to end the crisis through  peaceful means and  through bullets,” said Prof. Khan, asserting the inalienable right of the Syrian Government to ”reject dictations and foreign meddling in the affairs of Syria” and to ”combat  terrorism”.

Answering a question regarding foreign support to armed terrorist groups in Syria, Prof.    Khan said the countries involved in the crisis and blood shedding in Syria ” should stop funding terrorists against the people of Syria; the terrorist actions are affecting the life of people in Syria, cutting the heads of the Syrians,  turning the children of Syria   orphans, killing old people, destroying schools, mosques, churches   and infrastructures. They are but a  bunch of terrorists.”

”Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, USA, most of them support terrorists against the Syrians.  Most of the terrorists in Syria  are not Syrians; they are Arabs fighters who  fought in  Afghanistan.  Islam  is the religion of peace, love; it is NOT  what Saudi Arabia says. Most of the ongoing is the  work of the salafisit against Islam and Moslems,”    Khan continued,  pointing out that not all countries should follow the ”Saudi Islam” .

” Turkey has to stop sheltering and supporting terrorists. Saudi Arabia and  Qatar should stop supporting terrorism. The Gulf Cooperation Council, GCC,  should stop meddling  in the internal affairs of Syria, Iran Egypt…If they continue, they will end like Shah of Iran, their people in their own countries are fed up with them. They should funnel  their support and  their money to support the hungry in Africa,” added  IHRC Chairman.

Answering a question about the US stances on the current crisis in Syria,  Prof.  Khan said ” the US is supporting the terrorists of al-Qaeda; they have no right to ask Pakistan to fight al-Qaeda, there  must be no double standards in the eyes of law,” blasting the double-faced  and standards US policies.

In reply to another question about some Arab and Western media outlets coverage for the events in Syria,  IHRC Chairman said ” Media war against Syria is but a crime against humanity. I am here in Damascus walking freely with no bodyguards, interacting with common Syrian citizens, and the situation isn’t like the way media fabricates . The People here are the most lovely and hospitable people of Syria, the country of  civilization; this civilization is  still with Syrians who embody  love, history, and  spread love. ”

About the purpose of his current visit to Syria, IHRC Chairman  said:  ” My visit is to let the whole world know about the real situation.”

In reply to a question about Pakistan stance on the crisis in Syria,   Prof.  Khan said Pakistan ,Government and people support the Syrian Government and the people of Syria against terrorism”.

On whether H.E. has a certain message to the Syrians,  IHRC Chairman  said  ” Unite against all forms of terrorism; come from abroad and  build your country. Syria is your mother, don’t kill your mother.”

In reply to a question regarding the Israel-occupied Syrian  Golan, Prof.    Khan said  ” Israel should be forced  by the entire world to implement related UNSC resolutions and withdraw fully from the Golan,” blasting the support provided to Israel to persist its occupation.

In reply to further questions,   Khan pointed out that ”Moslem Brotherhood  play negative role in the region”, and that ” Qatar is a base of all Israeli dirty games in the ME”.

In reply to a question about the unjustified illegal calls for the resignation of Syrian Leadership,    Khan said ” Demands for a leader  to step down are  ridiculous; it is NOT  the right of anybody to do so, it is against international law, and a violation of international law and norms. It is only the right of the Syrians to elect and choose their Leadership,” pointing out that such ridiculous demands come from ”countries which have no human rights nor democracy”.

In reply to another question,   Khan described H.E. President Bashar Al-Assad as ” Educated, charismatic, more human and democratic than all Arab leaders, with a reform agenda for the people of Syria. President Al-Assad has been introducing reforms, the constitution of Syria is more democratic even than that of some Western countries”.

” To President Assad I say:  your are the son of  the late  Leader of the Moslem World, don’t let the Moslem world down and we will not let you alone. The Syrians stand with their leader; without him,  Syria will be like Afghanistan.” concluded Prof. Khan.
