Ambassador Abu Saeed: Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey Responsible for
Every Drop of Blood Spilled in Syria
BEIRUT, (SANA) - Ambassador of the International High Commission for
Human Rights in the Middle East, member of the International
Parliament for Safety and Peace, Haitham Abu Saeed, held the countries
supporting terrorism responsible for every drop of blood spilled in
Syria.
In an interview with Syrian TV on Friday, Abu Saeed pointed out to the
involvement of Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey in what is happening in
Syria, saying "the involvement of Saudi Arabia and Qatar in what is
happening in Syria is plain and clear and they declare this through
the media ..
we regret this and condemn it.
"We have asked them to stop this immediately, and we add our voice to
the voice of Secretary-General of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon in
demand not only from Qatar and Saudi Arabia, but also from Turkey
which may be involved more than others, to stop supporting
militants... we hold them fully responsible yesterday, today and in
the future for every drop of blood spilled in Syria." Abu Saeed
described the position of Ki-moon on the need to stop supporting armed
groups in Syria as being serious, explaining that this position is
based on the facts that indicate the presence of terrorist
organizations in the Syrian interior which work to undermine security
and the Syrian society.
He noted that the International High Commission for Human Rights
demanded the cessation of arming the opposition, saying "we were
optimistic regarding the need to limit arming in Syria since the
beginning of the events... we have referred to these topics since the
beginning and we had accurate information that we listen to through
the International Investigations Office belonging to the International
Parliament for Safety and Peace and the International High Commission
for Human Rights, which provides us with all the security and
intelligence information about topics that are assigned to it." Abu
Saeed pointed out that European sides gave documented that only five
percent of the so-called armed opposition are Syrians and the rest are
of multiple non-Syrian nationalities.
Abu Saeed said that the opposition exploits the massacres it commits
prior to international conferences on Syria, stressing that the
International High Commission for Human Rights relies in its reports
on concrete evidence and objectivity, not emotions and political
whims.
He explained that the opposition accuse the Syrian government of
massacres, while the Commission carried out investigations,
discovering that sides in the opposition benefited from these
massacres and exploited them.
Abu Saeed also condemned Turkey's hijacking of the Syrian plane and
later the Armenian plane, describing such acts as Mafia-like and
violating international aviation laws.
He went on to stress that change in Syria cannot come through
violence, but rather through ballots, noting that the international
community is aware of the strength and popularity of President Bashar
al-Assad and is afraid of this, as they are aware that if a democratic
choice were to be made as they claim then the Syrians will choose
their leadership, and more specifically they will choose President
al-Assad.
Regarding the mission of UN Envoy to Syria Lakhdar Ibrahimi, Abu Saeed
affirmed that the Commission supports Ibrahimi and is prepared to
offer anything that could ensure the success of his mission.
