US, allies hypocritical on Syria: Pundit

The file photo purportedly shows members of the al-Nusra Front terrorist group.

 

Press TV has interviewed Mimi al-Laham, a Syrian activist from Australia, to discuss the Western support for ISIL and other militant groups currently operating in Syria.

 

The activist says the West has no right to impose its policies or preferences on the government in Damascus or the people of Syria.

She adds that Western countries and their regional allies have been adopting a hypocritical approach since the start of the crisis in Syria four years ago.

Qatar, one of the closest allies of the United States, continues to openly support, arm and finance the al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra Front and other militant groups fighting against the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Laham argues.

The West is extending full support for certain Syrian opposition groups that have maintained closer ties with militant groups, the activist says.
