GCC declares support for international measures against Syrian regime

Al-Zayani, in a statement, expressed the GCC countries' concern at escalation of the Syrian crisis, threatening regional security and stability, due to "intransigence of the Syrian regime." He also expressed these states' strong condemnation of "the criminal and inhuman acts perpetrated by this regime against its people." "Tragic humanitarian conditions experienced by the "the brotherly Syrian people in and outside Syria, being victims of genocides and dangerous breaches of human rights, compel the international community to intervene immediately to save them from the regime oppression and put an end to their suffering and painful tragedy," he added.

The Syrian regime "shoulders the full responsibility for what is happening in Syria due to its rejection of all Arab and non-Arab initiatives to settle the crisis and employment of all methods of killing and annihilation namely the internationally-banned chemical arms" that caused death of hundreds of civilians.
