".
Mr President, we condemn the decisions adopted by the European Council on Syria and Iran on 29 June, because they signal an escalation in imperialist intervention by the European Union, the USA and NATO in the area, an area of harsh infighting between the capitalist forces of Russia, China and India, and strengthen threats by the USA and NATO, as well as by Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Israel, in the area.
As we speak, US aeroplanes are massing in the area and the base in Souda, Greece, has been mobilised. Consideration is being given to the imposition of a no-fly zone, on the pretext of responsibility for civilian protection, the same pretext as that used in other imperialist interventions. The United States, NATO and the European Union and states in the area are interfering in the internal affairs of Syria, engaging in disinformation activities and using the conflict to justify a new imperialist war. Developments in Syria come in the wake of the occupation of Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya.
We also condemn the decisions by NATO which, on the pretext of NATO solidarity with Turkey, is leading the imperialist armada against Syria, in the aim of striking a strategic blow against Iran. Sanctions are being stepped up and the European Union is threatening open military intervention if they imperialist plans to overturn the Syrian Government are not passed.
As we all know, decisions to impose an embargo on Iranian oil took effect on 1 July and will have horrendous consequences. Developments in Syria are a matter for the Syrian people. Nations need to oppose intervention by the European Union and NATO and overturn these imperialist plans."@en1
