In a statement, the Press Office of the CC of the KKEcommented on the developments in Syria as follows:

The KKE condemns the atrocious crimes committed in Syria by the jihadist regime, which was imposedby the intervention of the Turkish and Israeli states and the support of the USA and the EU. These crimes, which are directed against the Syrian people and especially against the ethnic and religious minorities, also bear the stamp of all those who backed this invasion and welcomed the fall of the Assad government, including the Greek government as well as the rest of the parties of the EU-NATO bloc–PASOK, SYRIZA, etc..

In particular, the government of New Democracy bears a great responsibility, because, through the mouth of Foreign Minister Gerapetritis, during his visit to Syria on 9February, itfostered false expectations of a supposedly “inclusive policy” and an “orderly political transition” from the jihadist governance. Once again, it is shown that imperialist warsand their “peace” with a gun to the peoples’ heads are the two sides of the same coin; capitalist barbarity and redivision of the world,which is underway with painful consequences for the peoples.
