The Syrian Coalition condemns the terrorist attacks that targeted the Belgian capital Brussels today as it condemns the attacks that targeted Ankara and Istanbul over the past few days. The Syrian Coalition stands in solidarity with the families of the victims and with the Belgian and Turkish peoples.

The Syrian Coalition reiterates it stands firmly by peoples and governments who are targeted by terrorism in the region, Europe and the rest of the world. These attacks make it imperative that we all stand united in the battle against terrorist organizations and the regimes that nurture them.

The Syrian Coalition emphasizes that for security and peace to prevail in the world, we all need to work together towards eliminating the threat of terrorism.

To confront terrorist challenges in an effective way, the international community needs to hold firm to the universal humanitarian principles based on justice and freedom as well as to support peoples in their struggle against injustice and tyranny. The international community also needs to take a firm stand against terrorist regimes given the role of the Assad regime in fuelling terrorism and its direct responsibility for the spread of terror.
