Foreign Ministry: Escalated terrorism in Syria and Iraq puts at stake credibility of int’l counterterrorism efforts

The Ministry stressed that the increasing danger of terrorism in Syria and its escalation recently in Iraq demand concerted international efforts to counter the risk of terrorism without discrimination or double standards, in as much as they put at stake the credibility of the international efforts on counterterrorism and implementing the UN resolutions.
“The international community is required today more than any time before to show seriousness in addressing a firm message to the terrorists and the countries backing them that terrorist acts are unjustifiable under any circumstances of reasons,” the Ministry said in its letters.

It renewed warning of the “dire” consequences of terrorism on its backers, stressing that the double standards of some Security Council state members on condemnation of terrorist acts are no longer acceptable.
