NAM condemns Israeli airstrike on Syria

In a statement issued on Tuesday, Iran and other members of the Non-Aligned Movement condemned a recent Israeli airstrike on a defense research centre near Damascus.
Following is the text of the statement:

The Coordinating Bureau of the Non-Aligned Movement condemns in the strongest possible terms, the act of aggression committed by Israel against the Syrian Arab Republic on Wednesday, 30 January 2013, when Israeli warplanes violated the airspace of the Syrian Arab Republic and bombarded directly a scientific research center in Jamraya area located in the province of the Damascus countryside. The attack resulted in the death of two Syrian civilians and the injury of five others, in addition to considerable material damages and full destruction of the building.

The Coordinating Bureau of the Non-Aligned Movement considers this act as a grave violation of international law as it infringes over the Syrian sovereignty and constitutes a blatant violation of the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations and the Disengagement Forces Agreement of 1974.

The Coordinating Bureau of the Non-Aligned Movement, while expressing solidarity with the Syrian Arab Republic and holding Israel accountable for this act of aggression and its consequences, requests the Security Council to shoulder its responsibility by clearly condemning this act of aggression.
