CWN - A spokesman for the Russian Orthodox Church has blasted the United States for a “completely one-sided” approach to Syria, and warned against American intervention in that country’s civil war.
“Once again, as was the case in Iraq, the US is acting as an international executioner,” Metropolitan Hilarion, who heads the external-relations department of the Moscow Patriarchate, told the AsiaNews service. “Once again thousands of lives will be sacrificed on the altar of an imaginary democracy.”
Metropolitan Hilarion said that Syrian Christians, in particular, could become “hostages to the situation and the main victims of radical extremist forces who, with the help of the United States, will come to power.”
