The recent developments in neighboring Syria, followed by images of horror and death that fill our screens daily, bring back to discussion the crimes of imperialism in our region. As C.C. of EDON we watch closely the escalation of carnage in Syria that destabilizes Middle East in general. We condemn the continuous attack against Syrian people and the imperialistic practices that sacrifice the peoples of the world in favor of their interests.
The armed conflict held in Syria for years, that has caused the death of thousands of people and the displacement of even more, is obviously not a local issue. Syria, as well as the Middle East in general, has been transformed into a field of conflict of peripheral and global imperialistic forces, that aim to control and take advantage of the sources of wealth production, to conquer a greater share of the market and to extend their zones of influence.
EDON, stands in solidarity with the Syrian people and side by side with the global peace movement, demands the prompt cessation of fire and the termination of war. We stand against the imperialistic plans and practices that slaughter people to gain more profit, the same way they did with the people of Cyprus 44 years ago, that resulted the division of our country.
