Syria’s Deputy Premier and Foreign Minister, Farouk al Shara on Tuesday delivered the country’s speech at the Islamic-European Forum which is being held in Istanbul, Turkey.
In his speech, al Shara pointed out that the geographic distance is no excuse for the United States to continue misunderstanding of others along wit its attempt to impose hegemony and dictation instead of understanding and cooperation.
He stressed that the U.S. point of views reach every corner in the world without allowing the others to carry their view points to the American people who are living in a closed island of information.
Al Shara expressed regret that the U.S. could not invest the sympathy of the world in the wake of Sept.11th events in order to bridge the gap.
the Syrian foreign minister added that the U.S. has been obsessed with combating terrorism without putting an internationally agreed upon definition for it.
He indicated that the Arabs are suffering form the fact that Israel is behaving as if it is a part of the U.S. war on terrorism and has escalated an unprecedented wave of killing and destruction against the Palestinian people giving no heed to the U.N. resolutions. (Albawaba.com)
