PRESS TV

“There is ample documentation to the effect that the Free Syrian Army which is supported by NATO and the United States has committed unspoken atrocities against the civilian population; and this is documented - it’s even documented by the Vatican,” said Professor Michael Chossudovsky, director of Center for Research on Globalization, in a Sunday interview with Press TV.

US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said on Sunday that the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has lost all legitimacy by attacking the armed groups in the city.

Panetta claimed the Syrian government has been “attacking its own people in Aleppo” and that “Assad’s regime is coming to an end and has lost all legitimacy”.

“These are very strong statements because they accuse, they imply an accusation directed against President Bashar al-Assad to the effect that the Syrian government ordered these killings when, in fact, the Free Syrian Army - I’m talking about the killing of civilians - the Free Syrian Army is involved, and we know it, in terrorist activities right from day one for more than 16 months,” Chossudovsky explained.
