Beirut, SANA – Deputy Foreign and Expatriates Minister Fayssal Mikdad stressed that the Zionist entity is a mass destruction weapon designed by the West to implement the so-called “democracy in the Arab region.”
Israel is more dangerous than the weapons of mass destruction as it kills tens of thousands of the Palestinian and Arab civilians while the atomic bombs didn’t kill the same numbers of people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, Mikdad said in an article published Saturday by Lebanese al-Binaa newspaper.
“In addition to the killing and destruction practiced by Israel, it insists on not joining the nuclear non-proliferation treaty and it rejects to put its nuclear facilities under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency ‘IAEA’ in a blatant violation of the international cooperation’s standards,” Mikdad added.
He indicated that Syria was the only country which called for making the Middle East a nuclear-free zone through the initiative it submitted to the UN Security Council before the end of its non-permanent membership in 2003.
The truth of the US and Western stances was exposed in their venomous and revengeful stances towards Syria when it took a historic decision to give up its chemical program, particularly when the investigations proved that chemical weapons were used in Khan al-Asal in and eastern Ghouta in Damascus countryside by terrorist organizations in cooperation with Western, regional , Turkish and Saudi intelligence according to Israeli plans.”
Mikdad referred to Syria’s decision to join the Chemical Weapons Convention “CWC” on September 14th in 2013 after the initiative of the Russian President Vladimir Putin.
He added that the Syrian chemical program no longer exists as Syria has fulfilled its obligations and in many times before the deadlines , yet the West’s attempts to blackmail it haven’t stopped as it politicizes this issue and searches for flimsy pretexts to undermine Syria which has remained steadfast in the face of the fiercest attack witnessed by any country in the world.
