Moscow, SANA- Defense Minister, Major Gen. Ali Mahmoud Abbas said that many countries suffered from the evils of the colonial West, as America and its allies worked by provoking conflicts and supporting terrorist organizations to destroy countries such as Iraq, Libya, Lebanon and Syria, which are still suffering from the aggression of these countries and terrorism for more than 12 years.
Speaking at the Moscow International Security Summit, Abbas said that the world is witnessing an escalation in the intensity of disputes and conflicts in different regions, and this requires additional effective efforts and serious cooperation to reach the better security situation that we and our people aspire to.
“After the success of our armed forces, with the help of friends, in defeating aggression and eliminating a large part of terrorism, a number of countries have waged an economic war and a deadly siege against the Syrian people,” Abbas added.
The minister noted that the U.S.-led Western coalition occupies important areas in Syria, steals our wealth and supports terrorism and separatist militias that serve the coalition’s colonial goals and agendas.
He explained that the Turkish occupation of parts of Syria and its criminal practices in the areas it occupies constitute a flagrant violation of international norms and a flagrant attack on a sovereign and independent State.
He made it clear that the Israeli occupation entity is the most significant factor in threatening the security and stability of the region and is a key partner of the United States in its aggression against the region.
