Syria Accuses US Of Using Double-Standard Policy In Fighting Terrorism

UNITED NATIONS, Sept. 29 (Xinhua) -- Syria's Deputy Prime Minister Walid Al-Moualem Monday accused the United States of using double-standard policy in fighting terrorism at a high-level debate at the UN.

Al-Moualem said that there has not been any "serious move" to implement a UN Security Council resolution which decided in August to cut financial sources and stop foreign fighters to eradicate extremist groups in Syria and Iraq.

At the General Debate of the 69th UN General Assembly, Al- Moualem said that "some of the regional states are still providing all kinds of support to these terrorist organizations."

"What we see on the part of the U.S. administration is a double standard policy and alliances to score certain political agendas, particularly through supporting with money, weapons and training of groups they call moderate," said Al-Moualem, who is also Syria' s foreign minister.

"This is a real recipe for the increase of violence and terrorism, shedding of Syrian blood, prolonging of the Syrian crisis and demolishing of the political solution at its basis," said Al-Moualem.
