  • [01] SYN leader addresses Middle East Forum

    Representatives of European leftist parties, parties from the Middle East, movements and scientific and research foundations participating in the "Euro-Middle East Forum of the Left" focused their assessments on that "the key opening the gate to peace in the Middle East is a solution to the Palestinian issue and an end to foreign occupation in Iraq."

    The Forum is being hosted by the Coalition of the Left, Movements and Ecology (Synaspismos) party and it began its two-day sessions in Athens on Friday.

    "The path to a different world passes to a great degree today from Jerusalem and Baghdad," Coalition party leader Alekos Alavanos said in his address, adding that what must remain in the nucleus of actions is the creation of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital and terms of peaceful coexistence with the neighbouring country of Israel.

    Referring to the war in Iraq, Alavanos said it took place as part of the new Bush doctrine on "pre-emptive wars" in the framework of the so-called "war against terrorism."

    The Coalition party leader said that the issue of Iraq showed once again the inability of Europe to play its own autonomous role in favour of peace in the Middle East, an inability which was exploited by the "hawks" of the United States. Alavanos proposed that Greece, being a member of the European Union and of the UN Security Council at this time, should take an initiative for a conference in the Middle East and prepare a specific action programme with them.
