Foreign Minister Faisal Miqdad clarified that attempts by Western countries to interfere in the internal affairs of other states violate all norms of international law and the UN Charter.MOSCOW, October 20.
/tass/. The real reason for the events taking place in Ukraine is the desire of the West to dictate its conditions and act hostile towards Russia, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Migrants of the Syrian Arab Republic, Faisal Miqdad, said on Thursday.
"What is happening in Ukraine today once again demonstrates the tendencies of the dictate and hostile actions of the West towards the Russian Federation, its security and stability. This is the real reason for the current situation in Ukraine," Mikdad said at a joint meeting of the interdepartmental coordination headquarters of Syria and Russia on the return of Syrian refugees.
He clarified that attempts by Western countries to interfere in the internal affairs of other states and dictate to them how to dispose of their own wealth and their own future violate all norms of international law and the UN Charter.
"Taking advantage of this completely, I will once again confirm Syria's support for the Russian special military operation, the right of the Russian Federation to defend and protect its national security," Mikdad stressed.
Speaking about his country, he clarified that it also faces unfriendly actions by the West, including on the issue of the return of refugees.
"Unfortunately, the efforts made by the Syrian state and friendly countries, such as the Russian Federation, still face the fact that some states and organizations use this exclusively humanitarian issue to achieve their political goals," the Syrian Foreign Minister added.
