Syria’s FM holds France accountable for supporting terror in country
QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) – On Monday, Syria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates said the French government is primarily responsible for the Syrian bloodshed through its involvement in supporting “terrorism.”
Syria’s state-run SANA news agency quoted an official source in the Foreign Affairs Ministry as saying “What France does, amounts to war crimes necessitates legal and political accountability.”
On August 12, the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs revealed, in a statement, documentations it obtained about possible crimes committed by Syrian government forces against the Syrian people.
The documentations included a lot of videos and photos that prove the government forces’ involvements in actions in Tadamon area in 2013 that “are likely to constitute the most serious international crimes, specifically crimes against humanity and war crimes.”
The source indicated that the declaration issued by the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs regarding “fabricated” videos that lack minimum bases of credibility was not strange.
In April, The Guardian released videos showing members of the Military Intelligence of the Syrian Government firing at 41 blindfolded and handicapped civilian in the Tadamon neighborhood of Damascus.
“This is a misguidance of the public opinion regarding the situation in Syria and particularly by France whose history is replete with crimes in many places around the world, hence it is not entitled to talk about values of the international justice”, the official added.
The world no longer is deceived by the “false values of the fabricated democracy” of the West’s crimes that seeks to dominate people’s riches, according to the official.
The French Ministry passed on the documentations to the National Counter-terrorism Prosecutor’s Office (PNAT) in accordance with article 40 of the Criminal Code, which deals with the jurisdiction of French courts with regard to crimes against humanity and war crimes.
