Coercive measures by the European Union against Syria ... continuing economic terrorism and absolute subordination to Washington's orders

Damascus-Sana

The European Union’s decision to renew its unfair sanctions against the Syrian people cannot be separated from American dictates in this regard, especially as it coincides with US President Donald Trump's recent move to tighten unilateral coercive measures against Syria by implementing what they call the “Caesar’s Law” which in their entirety violates the legitimacy International and international law.

Renewing unilateral measures against Syria in the absence of a European political stand independent of Washington exposes the partnership that brought together the two sides of the Atlantic to support terrorist organizations in Syria and reveals the falsehood of hollow slogans launched by these countries on human rights, as the colonial West is directly responsible for the bloodshed of Syrians through Supporting terrorism, which is responsible for their suffering through the unjust sanctions that the European and American partners insist on continuing despite the Corona Virus pandemic and the international demands for its immediate lifting.

"European sanctions are measures that express the highest levels of political hypocrisy of European officials and their dependence on the United States," as confirmed by the former deputy in the Russian State Duma, head of the Russian Committee for Solidarity with the People of Syria and Libya, Sergey Baburin.

Baburin said in an interview with a SANA correspondent that Western officials, by imposing coercive measures on Syria, not only contribute to starving its people and creating obstacles to its resurgence again from the ruins of what the terrorists destroyed, but they create additional possibilities for the continuation of its suffering by undermining the work of the Syrian health and medical institutions so therefore it cannot be described a decision The European Union is only an attempt to genocide against the entire Syrian people.

The European Union’s dependency on Washington and its compliance with its orders made it blind to the results of its pro-terrorist policies and their implications not only to the Syrian people but also to the peoples of countries that do not walk in the orbit of the United States and oppose its agendas. Illegal against Syria.

Boris Dolgov, senior researcher at the Department of Arab and Islamic Studies at the Orientalist Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, explained that the European Union’s decision to renew coercive measures against Syria indicates that his claim to be an advocate of democracy in international forums is nothing more than political deception, explaining that the European decision came with political dictates before The United States and that Europe is just a game in the hands of the United States.

The Syrian Foreign Ministry affirmed that the illegal movement of the European Union reveals the hypocrisy that has become an essential feature of European policies, noting that its unilateral actions are a flagrant violation of the most basic human rights and international humanitarian law and a crime against humanity in every sense of the word.

Although the European move was not surprising given the long history of the European Union's dependence on US decisions, coercive measures add other burdens to the Syrian people at a time when the entire world is trying to unite efforts to confront the Corona pandemic, as it directly affects their lives and livelihoods and hinders efforts to provide The medical means, capabilities, and structure needed to confront the Corona epidemic, and if this move confirms something, it proves once again that the European Union raises human rights slogans falsely and fadingly, and that it is determined to continue prolonging the suffering of the Syrians down the orders and desires of Washington.

The Russian Foreign Ministry confirmed that the continued application of those sanctions and the conditions of the spread of the Corona pandemic are inhuman and contradict international humanitarian principles and with the call of the Secretary-General of the United Nations on easing and stopping international restrictions that hinder the fight against the viral epidemic.

Europe’s record remains full of obedience to the American decision, from the invasion of Iraq to interference in Afghanistan to supporting terrorist organizations in Syria and the launching of an open terrorist war against the Syrian people.
