Saudis, allies turning Mideast into terrorist camp: Pundit
Press TV has interviewed Mark Sleboda, an international relations and security analyst from Moscow, and Jihad Mouracadeh, a Middle East expert from Beirut, to discuss the role of foreign players such as Saudi Arabia in the foreign-hatched crisis of Syria.
Sleboda called on the Saudi Foreign Minister, Adel bin Ahmed Al-Jubeir, to pay attention to the different geographical situation of Riyadh and Damascus and therefore stop meddling in the sovereign state of Syria. He added that the Saudi regime has absolutely no business to dictate or interfere in the events of Syria.
The Saudi kingdom along with its Western and regional allies has spent billions of dollars to fuel a war across Syria that has killed tens of thousands of people and displaced millions more, he says, adding that the allies’ policy has drawn somewhere between 25,000 to 80,000 foreign terrorists to the Middle East and turned the region into a training camp for terrorist elements.
Pointing to the role of Riyadh in the Middle East, he notes that Saudi Arabia is “a destabilizing rogue force” in the region that is spreading chaos and causing deaths on an unimaginable scale.
If the UN Security Council was not dominated by the United States, which has supported the policies of Saudi Arabia in Syria, the Council could fulfill its duty and stop the acts of aggression by foreign powers in the Syrian Republic.
The security expert also says the Geneva 1 agreement promotes a political solution for the Syrian crisis, adding that the accord is not for regime change in the crisis-hit country.
For his part, Mouracadeh believes the Russian government supports the provisions of the Geneva 1 agreement, which calls for the transfer of power in Syria.
