The Slovak Socialists’ Party condemns the unilateral Western coercive measures imposed on Syria

Bratislava (ST): The head of the Slovak Socialists’ Party, Artur Bekmatov, condemned the unilateral coercive measures imposed by the West on Syria and other countries such as Cuba and Venezuela, stressing that these measures “are used as a pressure tool in the foreign policy of the West towards countries that oppose Western designs”.

 In a statement to news correspondent in Prague today, Bekmatov said that the West has long been practicing double standards, as it tightens the coercive measures imposed on Syria, Venezuela, Cuba and other countries while it is blind to the ongoing human rights violations in allied regimes such as the Saudi and Turkish regimes.

 Bikmatov pointed out that the violation of human rights is taking place in Western countries themselves, as we have seen in the case of Julian Assange, founder of  WikiLeaks, who is detained in Britain, and what is happening in Spain when politicians and activists are being prosecuted in Catalonia.
