Sophia-Sana

Syrian students studying in Bulgarian universities and institutes, members of the community there, and a Bulgarian popular event called for the immediate initiative to lift the unilateral coercive economic measures imposed by the United States of America and a number of European countries on Syria.

In letters protesting against European policies against Syria addressed to the European Commission, the European Parliament, and the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights, the Bulgarian branch of the National Union of Syrian Students, the Syrian Community Association therein, and members of the community in the Bulgarian city of Plovdiv and the Bulgarian People's Initiative - Bulgaria against the war on Syria and Iran stressed that These measures constitute a flagrant violation of the principles of international law and the provisions of the United Nations Charter and of human and moral values, threaten peace and stability, serve terrorists and their agendas, and impede efforts to find a political solution to the crisis in Syria, proceed with the reconstruction process in it and the return of the displaced Syrians due to terrorism, as well as impede measures to combat the Covid-19 virus. .

The letters described the blockade and the coercive economic measures imposed on Syria as politicized and amounted to overt genocide and economic terrorism that directly targets the Syrian people and deprives them of all the necessities of subsistence and life.

The letters also appealed to the Bulgarian government and the governments of European countries to call on the international community to take effective measures against the Turkish regime and deter it from its criminal practices, sponsor terrorism and force it to withdraw from the Syrian territories, as well as the United States and its allies to abandon their inhuman policies against Syria and its people and lift them immediately.
