Former Syrian Vice President Abdel Halim Khaddam has criticized Egypt for sending a new ambassador to Damascus, considering that the Syrian people, the international community and some Arab countries have declared the Syrian regime illegitimate, as he put it.

“This contradicts the spirit of the Egyptian revolution, which has defeated dictatorship,” he said. “How can Egypt do so when the Syrian regime is massacring its own people, and when other Arab countries have withdrawn their ambassadors?”

Khaddam, who lives in Paris, also criticized Arab League Secretary General Nabil al-Araby for his lenient position. “He only expressed the league’s concern and called on the Syrian regime to start reform,” he said.
