Syria has called for an international conference to differentiate between terrorism and the right of people to self-determination.
Minister of Interior General Bassam Abdul Majid said in a statement on the sidelines of a conference of Interior Ministers of the EU and Adjacent Countries which was concluded overnight in Vienna that there was need for a deep look into the roots and reasons of terrorism and subsequently tackling it in a rational way.
He added that Syria's participation in such an event reflects its real interest in regional and international cooperation to confront the problem of terrorism in all its forms.
The Conference ended deliberations by adopting a draft declaration that contained a set of principles and proposals on fighting terrorism, organized crime, corruption human trafficking and illegal immigration.
The Arab delegations to the Conference underscored importance of security partnership with the EU, calling for more consultations on forms of this partnership.
