Beirut, SANA- Syria\u2019s Ambassador to Lebanon Ali Abdul-Karim stressed that the latest events such as the terrorist attack in Paris reminded of the necessity of fighting terrorism, particularly as France has been one of the countries which has supported and financed terrorism to achieve special interests.<\/p>\n
Speaking at a symposium organized Saturday by the Future Studies Institute in Beirut under the title \u201cRussian War on Terrorism in Syria and Iraq\u2026Reality and Prospects\u201d, Ambassador Abdul-Karim added that after what took place in Paris, the US, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Qatar and other states should review their calculations because terrorism destroys everything.<\/p>\n
He considered that the reason behind targeting Syria is its capabilities and resources as it was an advanced state in all domains, and it rejects to abandon rights in its land and it has been adhered to supporting the resistance in Lebanon and Palestine and it rejected the invasion of Iraq.<\/p>\n
He said \u201cThe whole world nowadays realizes the righteousness of Syria\u2019s stance against terrorism\u2026The Syrian Arab Army has proved that it is a basic power in fighting terrorism,\u201d referring to Russia\u2019s effective participation in combating terrorism in Syria.<\/p>\n
For his part, Russia\u2019s Ambassador to Lebanon Alexander Zasypkin affirmed his country\u2019s adherence to the role of the UN Security Council in fighting terrorism and finding balanced solutions, indicating that the attempts of exploiting the Council for achieving special interests or trying to directly interfere in countries\u2019 affairs will lead to undermining the international relations and to the spread of chaos, extremism and terrorism.<\/p>\n
\u201cSince the beginning, we warned against the attempts of toppling the legitimate regimes and of sowing sedition\u2026We have always stood against the destructive theories such as the \u2018creative chaos\u2019, and we called upon the international community to help the countries which are witnessing difficult circumstances,\u201d Zasypkin said.<\/p>\n
He added \u201cWe have supported all the initiatives which aim at achieving a political settlement in Syria despite of the fact that some parties have thwarted all the agreements.\u201d<\/p>\n
He affirmed that since the beginning, Russia has rejected the fighting and arming of the so-called \u201cmoderate opposition\u201d in Syria, adding \u201cWe have warned against the dangers of terrorism, and we called for fighting it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are working on eliminating terrorism in Syria in the framework of Vienna Plan, and what is more important is preserving Syria\u2019s territorial integrity as a sovereign independent and secular state,\u201d Zasypkin said, asserting the importance of publishing a joint list of the terrorist organizations.<\/p>\n
