Arab League to hold emergency meeting on Syria

Tehran, IRNA - The Arab League will hold an emergency meeting to review the situation in Syria, two days after the Pan-Arab bloc, in a statement, stressed the need to respect the sovereignty and preserve the territorial integrity of Syria.

The meeting at the level of foreign ministers will be held at the request of Syria, SANA news agency reported on Tuesday night.

The meeting is scheduled to be held next Sunday and will review developments in Syria that is struggling to deal with the resurgence of terrorists in the north and northwestern parts of the country.

Terrorist groups, including Nusra Front, with the support of some countries and the arrival of fresh foreign forces, launched a massive attack on Syrian army positions last week, sparking fierce clashes in Idlib, the outskirts of Aleppo, and parts of Hama and Latakia.

Syria’s Arab League membership was revoked after President Bashar al-Assad ordered a crackdown on foreign-backed terrorists back in 2011 that spiraled the country into a civil war that has since killed nearly half a million people and displaced another 23 million.

Ties with Damascus normalized in May last year, as the bloc hoped for an ‘Arab-led political path’ to solve the Syrian crisis and foreign ministers from Arab League member states agreed to reinstate Syria’s into the bloc.
