DAMASCUS, (SANA - Syrian news agency) - Minister of Information Mohsen Bilal said on Thursday the New Middle East project is a new Sykes Pico agreement in the region.
Sykes Pico Agreement was signed between the two governments of Britain and France in 1916 to share hegemony and control over the region.
Giving a lecture at al-Assad Library Dr. Bilal said "this project is aimed at seizing the wealth in the Arab world and forming the region characteristics and structure according to the US-Israeli pattern, including erasing the crucial principles of the Arab nation and canceling its history and civilization and even its geography in the great Israel's interests."
The minister noted that the colonial projects and schemes that aimed at remaping the New Middle East could not be faced but "through the comprehensive national unity and resistance" that have become the language of the time and its color.
"This is because resistance and the national unity work to restore the land and to expel the greed and invading occupiers. It is not because of love for violence and arms but due to love of our land and to protect our proud, dignity and sovereignty," he said.
