French Journalist: US & EU Statements on Syria Will End in History’s Dustbin

Local Editor

The French Journalist Louis Denghien said the "EU Foreign Ministers' statements in Brussels meeting reflected the arrogance and irresponsibility of the European diplomats."
 

In his article on the French news site "Le Poste" on Thursday, he mocked at "the British Foreign Minister's call on President Bashar al-Assad for implementing reforms, wondering if Mr. Hague is unaware of that President al-Assad has committed to the reforms announced regarding the Syrian Constitution, judiciary, the political parties and enhancing decentralization."
 

Denghien addressed the Swedish Foreign Minister, Carl Bildt, who hoped to impose more European sanctions on Damascus as the Syrian leadership has reached a dead end and lost legitimacy, and asked him about millions of the Syrian citizens who took to the streets to express support to their President.
 

The French Journalist ironically criticized Blidt's admiration of the Syrian opposition's unity and non-violence, inquiring "why did Bildt turn a deaf ear to the killing of tens of policemen at the hands of group members in Jisr al-Shughour and to the city residents' testimonies on the violence of the armed groups".
 

"Did Mr. Blidt know that while they were in Brussels meeting, violent clashes took place in Homs and bloody crimes committed by extremist groups before the Syrian army interfered to put an end?" Denghien added.
 

He concluded that "in this stage of the volitional blindness of the European leaders and the White House, we can say that their trifle official statements will end in dustbin of diplomatic history as those statements on the inevitable victory of democracy in Afghanistan and on the imminent collapse of Iran".
