Brahimi Moves Further away from
Neutrality as Broker to Solve Crisis in Syria

MOSCOW, (SANA)- UN Envoy to Syria, Lakhdar
Brahimi, is going too far in moving away from neutrality in his position as a
broker to solve the crisis in Syria as he went beyond overlooking the terrorism
practiced by al-Qaeda-linked takfiri groups in Syria to even justify these
terrorist acts.
“Some often describe as
terrorism what others see as a liberation movement, and I think the situation in
Syria is similar to this,” Brahimi told English-speaking Russia Today channel.
Finding himself unable to
present a description of the terrorist acts committed in Syria, Brahimi chose to
please the West and the US and comply with their hostile stances towards Syria,
saying “It’s an exaggeration to portray this conflict as one between the
government and terrorists.”
When pressed by the
interviewer’s insistence to know whether or not he views as terrorism the
destruction of infrastructure taking place in Syria, Brahimi couldn’t hide his
annoyance and tried to circumvent the question.
“I don’t understand the meaning
of these questions…I think our interview is going the wrong way…You want to
confirm that all who is fighting against the government is a terrorist…Let’s not
try to portray that all are terrorists, and it’s not so. Let’s change the
subject,” said Lavrov.
Further pressed by the
interviewer to answer a question about the nature of terrorism taking place in
Syria, Brahimi said “Let’s make things clear. There are organizations that could
be labeled as terrorist for objective reasons, and there are organizations which
the government itself consider as terrorist…but in Syria the people want change
in their country, and I think this is perfectly legitimate.”
Despite the fact that many of
the forces conspiring against Syria have admitted to sending weapons and
terrorists to Syria under the name of ‘jihadists’, Brahimi considered this as a
secondary and not a central issue, making light of the number of terrorists
coming across the border. “Yes, there are foreigners in Syria…no more than a few
hundreds or around two thousands…so, there’s no need to say that the foreigners
are standing against the Syrian government, because this is false,” said
Brahimi.
