Syria rejects US accusations

SANA reported today that "Syria has rejected accusations of the United States Ambassador to the United Nations against Syria as baseless, unaccepted and untrue."

The report said: Participating at the UN Security Council's emergency session held yesterday to discuss the deteriorated conditions in the occupied Palestinian territories, Syria condemned Israel's haughty practices in the Palestinian occupied territories saying "The Israeli military escalation poses a real threat to the worlds' security and stability, Israel, paying no heed to the international legitimacy resolutions, tries to again draw the region into cycle of violence through widening ambit of struggle in the Middle East," Charge d' Affairs of Acting Syria's Permanent Envoy to the UN said.

The report said "Israeli fighters flying over the Syrian coast poses as a screaming breach of the international law and constitutes an unjustified provocation against a sovereign independent state," he indicated.

The report added that the Syrian diplomat underlined that " the US ambassador, who appointed himself as a defender of Israel's brutal aggressions, is the last one who has the right to throw out such accusations particularly that the US biased policies and deformation of facts are causes of extremism and terrorism in the world."
