Kombos Condemns Latest Atrocities in Syria
S Cyprus condemns atrocities committed over the weekend in neighbouring Syria, Foreign Minister Constantinos Kombos said, stressing that immediate de-escalation is necessary.
The Republic of Cyprus had also requested that the EU take action in this regard, he said.
“The atrocities of the past few hours in neighbouring Syria, with civilian victims from minorities including Christians, Druze and Alevis, are utterly condemnable,” Kombos said in a post on X on Sunday, adding that “third parties must not be allowed to drag the country into obscurantism and extremism.
“We insist on the necessity for immediate de-escalation, as well as the need to ensure that the political process will be inclusive and peaceful, guaranteeing the rights and participation of all religious and ethnic groups, with the necessary unity,” the minister also said.
“The Republic of Cyprus has called on the European Union to take appropriate action in this regard,” he concluded.
Syrian leader Ahmed Sharaa scrambled on Sunday to contain some of the deadliest violence in 13 years of civil war, pitting loyalists of deposed President Bashar al-Assad against the country’s new Islamist rulers.
Interim president Sharaa’s office said it was forming an independent committee to investigate the clashes and killings by both sides. Syrians have circulated graphic videos of executions which Reuters could not immediately verify.
