Ramsey Clark: U.S. training terrorists in Syria is a dangerous practice


Damascus, (SANA)Former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark said that the U.S. training of groups of terrorists in Syria is a dangerous practice that aims at escalating fighting.

In an interview given to the Syrian TV on Friday, Clark said that training and arming individuals to take part in violence against another country is unacceptable and isn’t the right way to achieve world peace, adding that arms dealers are part of the problem of violence in the world.

He asserted that arming terrorists goes against U.S. laws, and that the U.S. is fully responsible if the weapons it provides fall into the arms of terrorists.

Clark, who visited Syria as part of a delegation of U.S. activists, said that Syria is going through hard times, and so he was motivated by his love for it to visit it and talk to some sides and see if he can help, adding that the Syrian government is working to avoid violence.

He said that terrorism can be stopped through group efforts by affected countries according to international laws and legal accountability.

Former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark said Syria is on the side of justice and justice always has the upper hand over force.

During his meeting with Minister of Justice Najm Hamad al-Ahmad on Thursday, Clark added that those who stand by Syria’s side should get united in the face of fighting terrorism and its backers.

Clark, who is on a visit to Syria heading a delegation of American activities, said terrorism is a common threat to everybody and Syria is jeopardized by terrorists, stressing the need to maintain Syria as a free, independent and sovereign state.

We have to figure out ways to preserve Syria through peaceful solutions, warning that having the crisis in Syria dragging on poses a threat to the entire humanity.

Clark hailed the Syrian people’s unity and adherence to their government in the face of the terror danger.
For his part, Justice Minister said Syria will go ahead with fighting terrorism, noting that the Ministry will file suits against all organizations and countries, including the US and Western states, which have been supporting terrorism to take them to court.

To that end, the al-Ahmad said the Ministry has prepared three reports documenting the terrorists’ crimes in Syria which will be put forth in the course of the effort to prosecute the countries and personalities involved in backing terrorism.

He handed over a copy of those reports to Clark.
