Terrorists Systematically Destroy State Infrastructure, Key Resources- Information Minister

 DAMASCUS,(ST)_  ” The main part of what is happening in Syria is borne on the media war, as media turned into one of the tools of war on Syria,” said information minister Omran al-Zou’bi.

During his meeting on Tuesday with a Czech media delegation al-Zou’bi added :” It is not a matter of coincidence that all types of  media share and coordinate with each other , having the ability to fabricate  and falsify events in Syria ,  noting that since the beginning of the crisis, Syria has been in war with international terrorism .. Al Qaeda and its arms of “al-Nusra front” and the main executive party on the ground. “

The Minister explained that  these media and those who stand behind the terrorist attack on Syria exploited  the historic moment in the region , when certain social segments  sought  to achieve economic reforms which were  transformed  into confrontation with terrorism, due to the deployment  of thousands of non- Syrians.

The Minister detailed  that the terrorism Syria faces , is  the first confrontation between an independent sovereign state and terrorists came in directly  and in large numbers , with the support of intelligence agencies,  with training camps on Turkish border for training  ,arming,  and financing terrorists, pointing out   that ” thousands members  of  extremist Islamist  organizations in the northern Lebanon and Syria ‘s  border with Jordan, bringing al-Qaeda closer to Europe than ever .” 

“Therefore , one who thinks  isolated  from  what is happening in Syria, is mistaken.” The minister stressed.

“Terrorists in Syria destroy systematically  the  state ‘s infrastructure and vital resources which the Czech Republic  contributed in building  by virtue of relations of friendship and cooperation between  the two countries to include  the electrical grid , transport routes, hospitals, schools, power and fuel transmission lines .” the minister added, pointing that this assault  aims

to destroy Syria as the  only an un-indebted  country in the region, an  exporter of wheat ,provides water for Jordan and adopts a free education system and other strategic policies in various fields.

The minister added that the aim  is to destroy the Syria ‘s civilized example  , as a country of  religious ethnic and cultural diversity  and  co-existence, by entities and states based on religion or doctrine as  the case with Israel and Saudi Arabia.

The Minister called on the Czech delegation to learn closely    and convey the reality of events in Syria, pointing out that the Ministry of Information invited since July 2012 more than 93 media delegations from different countries to visit Syria   and that US and British media stations and foreign and Arab press delegations are stationed in Damascus. A fact makes allegations about the media blackout practiced by the Syrian government false.

For their part, members of the visiting media delegation expressed happiness for being in Syria and for given  the opportunity  to objectively  convey the true picture of  what is taking place in to the  Czech public opinion and uncover the truth on  how much contradictory information and misconceptions and confusion are  deliberately made against Syria  in order to serve those who seek to dominate nations and destroy people’s lives.
