DHAHRAN (Sputnik) – the international community decides on Syria without regard to the position of the Arab world, the Minister of foreign Affairs of Morocco Nasser Bourita said.
“Today, unfortunately, the Syrian crisis will be resolved without taking into account the voice of the Arab world. Decisions concerning the Arab world come from outside. This is the main challenge,” Bourita told reporters on the sidelines of the summit of the League of Arab States in Saudi Arabia Dammam.
According to the Minister, currently the Arab world needs your voice to be heard in settling the Syrian crisis.
In the final Declaration of the summit of the League of Arab States accused the Syrian authorities reported that chemical weapons in the Duma in April, however, Arab leaders strongly condemned “the use of chemical weapons against the Syrian people” and demand “an independent international investigation.”
In the night of Friday, the US, France and Britain bombed a number of targets in Syria in response to alleged chemical incident in the Damascus suburb of Duma. Western States accuse the forces of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s attack with chemical weapons in the Duma. The Syrian government denied any involvement in the attack, and invited experts from the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons (OPCW) to investigate the reports.
The opinions of Arab States, headed by U.S. attacks differ sharply: Qatar, Saudi Arabia and other members of the cooperation Council of the Gulf (GCC) supported the missile strike, while Lebanon, Algeria and Iraq condemned it. The Ministry of foreign Affairs of Iraq called upon the Arab League to formulate a clear position in response to rocket strikes by the US and its allies on Syria at the summit.
According to the Ministry of defense of Russia, the three countries produced more than 100 cruise and air-to-surface missiles, most of which was shot down by Syrian air defense. According to Damascus, who has repeatedly stated that it has destroyed its chemical weapons stockpiles, the attack suffered by Syrian infrastructure, and left three civilians injured.
