MP: West Trying to Force Syria to Give up Support for Palestinian Resistance http://english.farsnews.com/newstext.php?nn=9003100810

A member of the Syrian parliament said that the West is seeking to spark and support unrests in Syria in a bid to force Damascus to put an end to its support for anti-Israel resistance in the region."Most of the conspiracies and plots hatched against the people of the region have always been designed and implemented by the foreign powers, but in the recent unrests a number of Arab countries have collaborated in designing and implementing the US-Zionist plots against the people of the Middle-East," Movaffaq al-Habashi told FNA. 

"These plots have targeted Syria which is one of the key supporters of resistance in the region," Habashi added. He further reminded Damascus's support for Palestine, Palestinians' right of return to their homeland and establishment of a Palestinian state, and noted, "The West wants Syria to withdraw its support for the Palestinian cause and cut its ties with friendly countries like Iran."Elsewhere, the Syrian lawmaker blasted the western media's biased attitude to developments in Syria, and said they are seeking to portray Syria as an unstable country. 

"Now, Syria is stable and secure and there is no problem in the country as claimed by the western and some Arab media outlets." Meantime, reports from inside Syria had disclosed that the western countries and media outlets are doing their best to spark tension in the Arab country in an attempt to topple Bashar al-Assad's government and push pro-western figures to power. In one of such reports, 25-year-old Zakaraiya Mitleq from Syria's Homs province revealed how he was recruited as an eye witness to appear on some biased satellite channels to falsify facts and fabricate stories and news with the aim of distorting the truth in Syria and harming the image of the Syrian security forces.
