Catholic Patriarch: The Western Regimes Are Spreading Lies




"I can tell you, we've been not only abandoned by the Western countries, but even we have been betrayed," Syriac Catholic Patriarch Ignace Joseph III Younan who is based in Beirut, Libanon, told The Southern Cross, newspaper of the Diocese of San Diego.

The Christian minority in Syria and Iraq have been essentially ignored by the West and "abandoned to our destiny."

He contested the claim, which has been made by Western regimes and their media, that there is a "moderate Muslim faction" among the rebel forces in Syria, "It's a lie."
