“Immediately stop fights and violence and give full support to Kofi Annan’s plan”: this was said from Germany, where he is visiting, by Gregorios III Laham, patriarch of Antioch of the Greek Melkites. In a statement to SIR, the prelate commented the latest massacres of Hula, Hama, where lots of children were killed, and invokes again “an end to the violence that is pushing the country into an abyss. With the help of the Holy Spirit, I pray that all parties concerned may find a way to talk. May the international community, first and foremost Europe, help Syria out of this bad situation. May the world help all Syrians, the regime, the army, the opposition, men and women talk together. Stop the massacre; violence - Pope Benedict XVI always says that - achieves nothing. As bishops of Syria, we said that many times before, and today I repeat that, let’s give full support to Kofi Annan’s peace plan”.© www.agensir.it - may 28th 2012
