Syria condemns Brussels terrorist attacks

Damascus – Syria expressed strong condemnation of the terrorist attacks in Brussels, saying they are “an inevitable consequence of wrong policies”.

Dozens of people have been killed and others have been reported injured as several terrorist attacks hit at Zaventem Airport and Maelbeek metro station in the Belgium capital earlier on Tuesday.

An official source at the Foreign and Expatriates Ministry voiced Syria’s condemnation and its “condolences and sympathy” with the families of the victims.

Today’s attacks in Brussels and others that previously took place in Paris and elsewhere in the world stress once again that terrorism has no boundaries, the source said according to Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA).

These attacks, the source added, are “an inevitable consequence of the wrong policies and of tolerance for terrorism to realize certain agendas and attempts to legitimize it through trying to classify as “moderate” terrorist groups that are actually but offshoots of the Takfiri Wahhabi doctrine.”

The source renewed Syria’s call for uniting sincere international efforts to confront terrorism which it has been fighting for five years now.

Concerted efforts are needed to curb the conduct of the countries supporting terrorism and compel them to stop providing support to the terrorist organizations in any form in preservation of the peace and stability of the region and world, the source added.
