THE people of Syria have a right to self-determination, the Iraqi Communist Party (ICP) said on Tuesday.

In a statement, the ICP said: “The change that has taken place in Syria is isolated from external interventions and agendas of regional and international powers.”

But, they said: “This means that Syria is not yet safe, especially with the presence of extremist and terrorist forces, the ambitions and interests of neighbouring countries and Israel’s aggressive and expansionist plans which it has revealed by occupying the buffer zone and launching raids on sites inside Syria.”
