Galloway: Syria is able to overcome all pressures

Member of the British House of Commons, George Galloway, said the Syrian people are able to overcome all difficulties and pressures being exerted on them from the outside because of their political stand.

In an open dialogue with journalists organized by the Syrian Association for General Relations on Monday, Galloway underlined that what is being circulated about freedom and democracy is just a pretext to hide what is being planned for the region, in a way that would secure the great powers' hegemony, through partitioning the region and creating conflicts in it.

He underlined that occupying Iraq served the Israeli interests due to Israel's great influence in the American administration, pointing out that the Israeli Mossad is working actively in Iraq, and is training American forces (on Israel's experience with the Palestinians) to demolish Iraqi homes.

"Britain and the U.S. are involved in Iraq in a way that created a state of fear inside Iraq, a disastrous situation there," pointing out that the situation is similar to the state that prevailed in Yugoslavia at some point, where Yugoslavia split into three countries.

He also ruled out that the U.S. or Britain would get involved in any fresh dispute in the region, due to the explosive situation (that preoccupies them) in Iraq.
