Foreign Minister HE Sheikh Mohamed bin Abdulrahman al Thani on Thursday demanded that the perpetrators of the brutal massacre in the Syrian town of Khan Sheikhoun be held accountable for the heinous crime.
The FM said there is a need to activate the implementation of the mechanism adopted by the UN General Assembly as soon as possible so that the perpetrators will not go unpunished.
In an exclusive statement to Al Jazeera channel on the sidelines of the International Conference on Supporting the Future of Syria and the Region in Brussels, he condemned the massacre, terming it a terrible message from the Syrian regime.
The FM also expressed his regret over the failure of Foah Accord, which he considered a purely humanitarian agreement that has nothing to do with the negotiations or the political process in Geneva or Astana.
He described the situation in the towns of Kafria, Foah, Madaya and Zabadani as tragic, putting the blame on the Syria regime's policies of starvation and siege.
He pointed out that the Foah Accord includes the opening of humanitarian corridors and the voluntary departure of those who want to leave as well as the delivery of humanitarian aid in addition to the release of detainees in the regime's prisons.
He affirmed Qatar's rejection of any demographic change in Syria, especially what took place recently in Al-Waar district in Homs city, in the east of Aleppo, or in Darya town, stressing the need to maintain a unified Syria.
