Syrian envoy to UN: External parties seek to disintegrate Syria
The Syrian ambassador to the UN in Geneva, Faysal Khabbaz Hamoui, says “external parties” are fueling the crisis in Syria and seek to disintegrate the Middle Eastern state.
"The crisis is not due to peaceful protests or demands for reform. The crisis is due to the influence of external parties bent on afflicting my country, waging a media war against Syria and imposing economic sanctions against the Syrian people," Hamui said in a UN Human Rights Council session on Monday. "Civil war is being ignited ... this is a prelude to partition of Syria, this is the aim of Israel and those supporting the endeavor, the prolonged colonization of Arab territories," he told the session.
The Syrian envoy’s remarks came in response to a UN Human Rights Council’s report on the Syrian crisis, which blamed the Syrian government for the crisis in the country.
