Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Syria: Peace Partner or Rogue Regime?: Hearing Before the Committee on International Relations, House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress, Second Session, July 25, 1996 The committee met, pursuant to notice, at 10 a.m., in room 2172, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. Benjamin A. Gilman (chairman of the committee) presiding. Chairman Gilman. Good morning. Today´s hearing is one in which Congress does have a critical interest. For almost 5 years, the Administration has attempted to broker a peace agreement between Israel and Syria, believing that an Israeli-Syrian agreement would complete the circle of peace in the Middle East. Our nation, therefore, has tended to downplay other aspects of Syrian policy, particularly Syria´s dominance of Lebanon, its support for terrorist groups who are opposed to the peace process, the role of Syrian officers in drug trafficking through Lebanon, and Syria´s reported efforts to acquire weapons of mass destruction. The State Department´s terrorism report retained Syria on the terrorism list for yet another year, noting that Syria allows Iran to resupply Hizbullan and that it provides safe haven and support for ten Palestinian rejectionist groups, including Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command. Syria allows several groups to train in Lebanon´s Bekaa Valley, including the Kurdistan Workers Party, the PKK, and reportedly uses the PKK as a pressure point against Turkey on water issues and in an effort to persuade Turkey to abrogate its early 1996 strategic cooperation treaty with Israel. The Japanese Red Army also is given safe haven in Syria. Most recently, Jordan has accused Syria of backing a terrorist network in Jordan intended to pressure Jordan on policy toward Israel. Syria was also again designated as non-cooperative with our nations efforts to end narcotics trafficking. Syria remains a serious transit nation for narcotics produced in Syrian-controlled areas of Lebanon and is also a suspected site for the refining of some narcotics. Syria again failed to bring charges against any government or military officials allegedly involved in their drug trade. Additionally, 1995 saw the emergence of a new transit route for cocaine from Latin America to Lebanon via Damascus International Airport.
