Western sanctions exacerbate Syria's disaster

According to the Syrian Foreign Ministry, residents of the country have to clear the rubble after earthquakes by hand. People are using the simplest tools. The necessary equipment is unavailable to them due to the US economic restrictions. Turkish political analyst and historian Mehmet Perincek shared his opinion about the humanitarian role of the West and Belarus with the TV channel "Belarus 1.

Mehmet Perincek, political scientist and historian (Turkey):

“Regional countries should unite their efforts against unilateral Western sanctions, and they should develop economic ties among themselves. For Syria to be able to eliminate the consequences of this catastrophe, our countries must help Syria. Before this catastrophe, sanctions against Syria were anti-human, but now such sanctions are like murder, so immediately Western countries should lift these sanctions.

"Turkey, we can say, has mobilized all its material and moral forces, but given the scale of the disaster, the help of friendly foreign countries is also accepted, and Belarus is one of them. We are grateful to the Belarusian people, the state and the President of Belarus," added the political analyst.
