The West bears responsibility for the Syrians’ suffering, Bekmatov affirms

The United States, Western countries and the Turkish regime are constantly working to prolong the crisis in Syria and impede the reconstruction process in it, Head of the Slovak Socialist Party, Artur Bekmatov, has affirmed.

“The United States and the Turkish regime continue to occupy parts of the Syrian territories directly and through terrorist organizations, which represents a blatant violation of Syria’s sovereignty and the international law.” Bekmatov said in a post on his Facebook page.

He stressed that the West also bears responsibility for the suffering experienced by the Syrians as a result of the unilateral coercive measures it imposes on them.

Bekmatov noted the situation in Syria clearly reflects the double standards of the West, as it violates international law when it is appropriate for it, and calls for its application towards other issues that come in line with its interests.
