In Search of Syria’s True Friends By Polina Chernitsa
24 February 2012 – Voice of Russia
The ‘Friends of Syria’ is a contradiction in terms. In reality, these countries are Syria’s enemies which are not trying to reach a peaceful settlement but want to provoke a civil war, the Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee for International Affairs Alexey Pushkov has declared. An international conference of the Friends of Syria, which includes countries and organizations that advocate a unilateral ceasefire in Syria, is being held in Tunisia on Friday. The opposition Syrian National Council has already demanded that the participants supply weapons to the militants of the so-called Syrian People’s Army.

Syria: China, Russia Won’t Allow Further Transformation Of UN Into West’s Bludgeon

China unwavering on Syria in new UN vote
Western powers are privileged to interpret interests and ethics at their own will due to their obvious dominance of public opinion. They label the 12 countries who voted differently to them at the UN as being ‘unethical.’ China should never be fooled by this hypocrisy.

Imperialist hands off the Syrian revolution
5 February 2012 — Red Scribblings
The veto by Russia and China of a chapter 6 resolution at the United Nations calling for Syrian President Bashar Assad to stand down has produced a loud ghashing of teeth by Hillary Clinton, William Hague and all kinds of other luminaries of the West. Syria seems to be heading for civil war. In fact arguably the civil war has already started with the formation of a rebel army from defectors from the official army and its engaging in sporadic armed conflict with the regime’s forces.

Video: ‘Confessional war the only way to divide Syrians’ — RT
27 December 2011 — ‘Confessional war the only way to divide Syrians’ — RT
Claims that armed extremists are fighting in Syria are backed by some foreign journalists working on the ground. Independent journalist Thierry Meyssan tells RT how efforts by some forces to turn the conflict into a full-scale civil war are failing.
‘It began with some armed groups entering the country, making troubles, trying to create Islamic emirates on the border with Jordan. These people recruit others to form bigger fighting groups and now they are entering in co-ordination with political opposition. And you know, in this country, there is a long history of opposition between the Baas Party and the Muslim Brotherhood. So, now there is an alliance between the Muslim Brothers and these armed groups coming from abroad,’ he explained. ‘These groups can go everywhere, because now they have some support inside the population.’

‘NATO wants a simmering civil war in Syria – as a prelude’ — RT
17 December 2011 — ‘NATO wants a simmering civil war in Syria – as a prelude’ — RT
Washington is ready to discuss Russia’s UN Security Council draft resolution on Syria, describing some provisions as however ‘unacceptable’ and still not acknowledging that the anti-regime protesters are well-armed.
What exactly the US and NATO countries consider to be ‘unacceptable’ is the real question, believes Asia Times correspondent Pepe Escobar.
‘Is it that the Syrian government cannot fight an armed insurgency in its own territory?’ he ponders. ‘The Free Syrian Army are getting weapons smuggled from the Middle East to the borders [with Syria] in Turkey and in Jordan as well.’
