Lahham, Halaqi: Syria is Fighting Terrorism on Behalf of the Whole World

DAMASCUS,(ST)_ Parliament  Speaker Mohammed Jihad al-Lahham stressed  that the conspiracy Syria has experienced  is  targeting its security and stability and  is an integral part of series of schemes  prepared by the United States and its Western allies against many of the world ‘s anti – colonial policies countries,  based on plundering  peoples  wealth and controlling  their resources.

During a meeting yesterday with a  French Lawyers delegation, Lahham noted  that Syria , since more than two years  has been facing  armed takfirist Wahhab terrorist  groups and facing an unfair  economic war and a  misleading media that seeks to distort facts , events, and falsification of facts ,indicating that attempts to block the Syrian National  media channels aimed to hide the crimes of terrorists against the Syrian people and prevent the formation of an anti public opinion against  their most heinous massacres on the Syrian people.

He explained  that the armed terrorist groups backed by the United States and Western colonial and funded by some Arab reactionary countries continue  to destroy churches, mosques , oil  transportation pipelines,  railway lines and the theft of antiquities and looting   and smuggling Aleppo city grain silos and factories, to Turkey, stressing that the steadfastness of the Syrian people and their defiance of this global war were a result of their  faith in the homeland and adherence to their sovereignty and rejection of foreign dictations and interference in their  internal affairs.

He called on  foreign  and Arab delegations that come to Syria to monitor what is happening on the ground and convey the truth  with realism and transparency to the  world public opinion and not to look to Syria as French, British and Turkish governments  do ,  through intervention in our internal  affairs ” ignoring ” we are an institutional independent  state that derives its powers and sovereignty from the cohesion of its people , army and leadership.
