Syria Categorically Rejects GCC’s ‘Provocative’ Statement

DAMASCUS,(ST)_Syria has censured the final statement released at the end of the summit of the Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) held in Kuwait, saying that it includes fabrications and lies produced by ‘those who have the Syrian people’s blood on their hand’.

It has categorically rejected the GCC’s statement, stressing that the Syrians-made political solution is the only way out for the ongoing crisis in the country.

The rejection was made in a statement issued today by Foreign and Expatriates Ministry.

The ministry declared that the final statement of the GCC’ summit contains lies and fabrications made by those who support and fund the Takfiri thought and terrorist groups that are shedding the Syrian people’s blood.

‘Crocodile tears’

It made it clear that Saudi Arabia, which is a member of the GCC, is mainly involved in shedding the Syrian people’s blood and destroying the state.

“Feign crying over the Syrian people’s suffering is but crocodile tears shed after killing the victim and it won’t veil the reality of their [ those who are involved in shedding the Syrian people’s blood] conspiracy against the people,” the ministry said, reminding of the proverb: “Whose house is of glass, must not throw stones at another.”

It added that the Syrian Arab Republic strongly condemns the provocative language of the GCC’s statement on Syria as some members of the council are key players in supporting and practicing the Wahhabi Takfiri terrorism without moral, religious and human scruples  with blithe disregard for the international law.

“This proves the unprecedented involvement of these governments in the organized international terrorism,” the ministry said.

It concluded by saying: “Syria reminds those who gathered in Kuwait that neither they nor others have anything to do with the Syrian people’s aspirations and decisions. Only the Syrian people have the right to select their leader and shape their future.”
