PRAGUE, (SANA) – The National Secretary of the Socialist Equality Party (SEP) in the US, Joseph Kishore, warned that the United States and the major European powers this week have taken a number of steps to more directly intervene in Syria to bring down the advanced governing system in it.
In an article published on the Czech Communist Youth Union website, Kishore said Syria “is seen as a linchpin in a broader drive to redraw the borders of the Middle East.”
Kishore added that “Syria, a relatively advanced country with one of the highest life expectancies in the Middle East, is being driven relentlessly backwards,” noting that “the principle responsibility for this situation lies with the imperialist powers” which have worked since the beginning of the events in Syria in March, 2011 on providing support to the terrorist forces led by al-Qaeda affiliated Jabhat al-Nusra.
“The US has worked relentlessly to advance its own interests, relying on the most right-wing and reactionary forces, including Al Qaeda-linked organizations, led by the Al-Nusra Front,” Kishore highlighted.
He pointed out that Washington’s recent move to officially designate the Jabhat al-Nusra as a terrorist organization “is intended in part to cover over the fact that it has worked closely with the organization for months, helping build it up into the most important fighting force of the rebels.”
Further in this regard comes the NATO’s deployment of the Patriot missiles in Turkey, which Kishore considered as a serious escalation of military tension saying that “the missile systems can be used against warplanes and missiles to provide air cover for oppositional forces or establish a no-fly zone along the border, both precursors to direct military action.”
“While deployed under the pretext of defense against a possible Syrian attack on Turkey, the move is, in fact, a significant escalation of the US war drive,” he added. (R. Raslan/H. Said)
