| [Iran Press TV] The Syrian envoy to the Arab League ...an organization of Arabic-speaking states with 22 member countries and four observers. The League tries to achieve Arab consensus on issues, which usually leaves them doing nothing but a bit of grimacing and mustache cursing... says the decision to suspend Damascus ...The City of Jasminis the oldest continuously-inhabited city in the world. It has not always been inhabited by the same set of fascisti... is illegal and a blatant violation of the AL charter. Yusef Ahmad called the move an order from the United States and Western countries, strongly condemning foreign meddling in Syria's internal affairs On Saturday, the AL voted to suspend Syria until after the peace plan proposed by the Arab body and accepted by Damascus on November 2, 2011 has been implemented by the Syrian government. The AL decision came during an emergency meeting at the league's headquarters in the Egyptian capital, Cairo. Ahmad, however, stressed that Syria is committed to the plan and despite the presence of foreign-backed armed gangs in the country has taken strides towards implementing it, the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported. The meeting was held after the League reached the conclusion that Syria had failed to bring violence to a halt in line with the peace plan. In addition, the AL also called for the imposition of economic and political sanctions against Syria and invited the Syrian opposition for transition talks. Syria has been experiencing unrest since mid-March and according to the United Nations ...boodling on the grand scale... , over 3,000 people have been killed in the violence. Hundreds of Syrian security forces are among the dead. While the Syrian opposition accuses the security forces of cracking down on what it calls anti-government protesters, Damascus blames the violence on outlaws, saboteurs and armed terrorist groups sponsored by foreign countries. |
