Syrian Ambassador: world must unite in the face of fascism so that the tragedy of Khatyn never happen again

Representatives of the diplomatic corps have taken part in today’s commemorative events dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the tragedy in Khatyn

The Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Syria to Belarus, Mohammad al-Umrani, called the events in Khatyn a terrible tragedy. “We hope tragedies of the kind will never happen again. However, eighty years after the tragedy, we see that history is cyclical. Unfortunately, fascism is showing up again somewhere. We believe the world must unite in the face of fascism in order to resist this, and so that this situation never happen again,” he said.

The Syrian diplomat added that very good relations between the leaders of the two states also contribute to the development of co-operation between Belarus and Syria, “At the international level, we also enjoy good relations, although our countries are resisting external sanctions pressure and attempts to interfere in the internal affairs. Sadly, Syria and Belarus suffer from the actions of the same countries.”
