Syria shares other nations' concerns about human rights violations. Armed terrorists are responsible, it said.
What's ongoing "constitute(s) a large departure from the state of stability, security and freedom of religion and belief which Syria and the Syrians used to enjoy before the crisis.""The Syrian government voices regret over those countries' insistence on adopting a wrong approach that rejects to acknowledge the Syrian state's duty in protecting its people from the terrorism imposed on it from the outside."
