Western intelligence agencies are responsible for killings, looting and destruction in Syria.
“All that happened in Syria of destruction, death, and displacement, were because of Western intelligence institutions which, in cooperation with Turkey, trained thousands of terrorists to achieve a single goal which is destroying Syria,” the presidential aide said, adding that the West was dealing with Syria as if it were still under their colonization, ignoring its deep-rooted history and values.
According to the SANA news agency, Bouthaina Shaaban, an adviser to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, spoke about the support of Western intelligence agencies for Takfiri terrorists in the country.
Shaaban also said leaked British documents revealed that the United Kingdom “officially funded” groups of Syrian dissidents who called themselves “witnesses” to launch street movements and provide news for Western media outlets.
Assad’s political and media adviser told the video conference that, “Western governments were pressing Syrian officials to dissent and bribing some of them with money to join those against the Syrian government, assuring them the political system is going to fall and collapse.”
According to the report, the Syrian president’s adviser said that the Western intelligence services are behind the murder, looting, and destruction in Syria.
“Britain is one of the Western countries that provide financial support to groups in Syria that call themselves ‘eyewitnesses,'” she said. Western intelligence services trained thousands of terrorists and sent them to Syria.
Adviser to the Syrian President emphasized: Western countries think that Syria is still their colony; For this reason, they continue to support terrorism in this country.
Earlier, Bassam Sabbagh, Syria’s permanent representative to the United Nations, said: “Some countries are abusing the Security Council to politicize the process of humanitarian action in Syria and ignoring the catastrophic consequences of unilateral action against the Syrian people.”
She continued: “The United States must end its occupation of Syrian territory and stop supporting separatist terrorist groups, as well as stop stealing Syria’s national resources.”
Syrian government troops and their allies have managed to retake some 80 percent of the war-ravaged Arab country’s territory from the Takfiri terrorists.
The Syrian army is fighting to drive out the remaining militants, but the presence of US and European forces in addition to Turkish troops has slowed down its advances.
The United States has also imposed crippling sanctions on Damascus. The Syrian government has repeatedly denounced Washington’s unilateral sanctions as “crimes against humanity,” saying the Western sponsors of terrorism must pay the price for their atrocities against the Syrian nation.
