Syria: We Will Forget That Europe Is On The Map = by Sarah Rappaport

Syria's foreign minister Wallid Moallem struck out Wednesday against his country's foreign critics, according to the AP.

He targeted the EU, which recently imposed sanctions on Syria and President Assad for violence against protestors. Moallem said Syria was freezing its membership in the Euromed alliance, and that: Sanctions target the livelihood of Syrian people, and that amounts to an act of war. We will forget that Europe is on the map and we will look east, south and toward every hand that is extended to us. The world is not just made up of Europe."
