Palestinian cause is Syria’s compass, says Foreign and Expatriates Ministry

Damascus,(ST)_Syria will stand firmly against any attempt to involve Palestinians in what is happening in Syria, a reliable source at the Foreign and Expatriates Ministry said.

“The only compass for Palestinian refugees in Syria and elsewhere is Palestine and clinging to their firm right. Most importantly, the right of the return”, added the source.

Concerning the escalation of the armed terrorist group’s attacks against the Syria-based Palestinian camps, clarified the source” over the past few days, the armed terrorist groups stepped up its terrorist attacks across Syria including the Palestinian camps in Damascus and Daraa. These attacks, aimed at involving Palestinians in the current events in Syria, claimed the lives of many innocent Palestinians as happened in Aleppo and recently at al-Yarmouk camp when terrorists blew up a bus packed with children and women causing the death of five Palestinians and wounding others. Furthermore, terrorists bombarded the said camp with mortar rather than destroying Syrian and international organizations which provide them with facilities ever since Nakba in 1948″.

“Syria has defined its position vis-à-vis Nakba which hit the Palestinian people as the Palestinian cause is Syria’s compass concerning its policy and stances. Syria did not hesitate in rendering human and material sacrifices to support the brotherly Palestinians to attain their legitimate rights. Syria’s suffering now, to a large extent, is a result of its stances as regards supporting the Palestinian struggle and their rejection to attempts aiming at liquidating the Palestinian cause.” the source made it clear.

The source went on saying” Syria calls upon Palestinian factions, organizations and leaders to distance themselves away from vicious schemes of the terrorist groups who are carrying out hostile plans against Palestinians aspirations in the benefit of Israel and its supporters.

“Syria will continue ensuring safety and good living conditions to the Palestinian people”, concluded the source.
