Prince Saud Al-Faisal, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingodm of Saudi Arabia, asked the Arab League to take decisive measures to resolve the Syrian impasse, relieve the sufferings of the Syrian people and spare their bloods after the previous measures have failed to stop a massacre in Syria, but instead continued to worsen without any glimmer of hope. In a speech during the resumed extraordinary session of Arab Foreign Ministers on Syrian Crisis held in Cairo today, Prince Saud Al-Faisal said the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud warned of this tragic result last Ramadan when he sent a message to the Syrian leadership, asking them to deal with these events with wisdom and reason. The King took what was happening in Syria to be far from the true religious teachings and Arab values and ethics. He asked for curbing the size of the dangerous escalation witnessed in Syria, given the disappointing stance at the UN Security Council, and called for more serious actions against Damascus. The monarch called upon Arab League to reconsider its initiative in a manner consistent with the aggravating developments, and take immediate and strict measures against the Syrian regime, including enforcement of economic and political sanctions, and to create open channels of communications with the Syrian opposition and to provide them with all forms of support. --More
