The National Progressive Front on Wednesday condemned the Arab League resolution to suspend Syria participation in its meetings, describing the move as undermining the AL principles and violating its conventions.
“It is not the first time Syria confronts big challenge, but this time, it is the most dangerous because it was cooked in the Zionist, US and western kitchens,” the Front said in a statement.
The statement considered that the foreign intervention which some Arabs seek for, aims at enabling the hegemony projects in the region to establish the so-called the new Middle East Project in the interests of the US and Israel.
The Front saw that what is going on now is a big conspiracy against Syria and its pan-Arab role, but this conspiracy is doomed fail because of the people’s awareness and their support to the Syrian leadership.

For his part and in an interview to the Syrian TV on Wednesday, Archbishop of the Sebaste Roman Orthodox Church, Atallah Hanna, stressed the sinister conspiracy hatched against Syria targets its principled and supportive stances towards the Palestinian Cause.
“When Syria is targeted, Palestine is targeted and when Damascus is targeted it is as if Jerusalem is targeted,” said Archbishop Hanna criticizing the Arab League (AL) decision on suspending Syria’s membership in the AL.
He described the League’s treatment of Syria as “unwise” because Syria plays a key role in the AL as it is “the beating heart of Arabism”.
“Syria is supposed to remain in the Arab League. The Arab Initiative is supposed to go on and there should have been an Arab contribution to resolve the problem in Syria,” the Archbishop added.
He called on the AL to shoulder its responsibilities and correct its mistake against Syria through restoring the seat back to Syria, “instead of conspiring against it” because Syria is one of the founder states of the AL and has played a pioneer role in activating the joint Arab action.
“In order to reach the modern Syria, everyone should stand by the Syrian leadership and people,” he added.
He also called upon the Arab countries to stand by Syria for foiling the conspiracy against Syria and ending the crisis it is going through.

He warned of grave consequences in case Syria is destabilized, affirming that Russia won’t allow foreign intervention in Syria.
