Cairo, (ST) - Eight Egyptian parties called for the immediate lifting of the unilateral coercive Western economic measures imposed on Syria, stressing that these measures are a flagrant violation of international law and threaten international peace and security and put the lives of Syrians at an increased risk.
The parties said in a letter they addressed to the President of the European Parliament and the European Union institutions and delivered to the European Union’s representation in Cairo, that, “the global war against the Syrian state has gone beyond ten years, and it is a war that targeted its capabilities, wealth, infrastructure and national institutions. It is also well known to everyone that, this war against Syria did not take into consideration the exceptional circumstance that the whole world is going through like the spread of the new Corona epidemic, which posed a threat to many societies and required international cooperation to confront it.” They also said that this war, which was conducted by international and regional powers, targeted the unity of Syria.
