The Czech Ambassador in Damascus Eva Filipi has stressed that what happened in Syria over the past five years was not a "revolution", rather, it was an attempt by some countries to implement their agendas which proved to be unachievable in Syria.

In her presentation during a debate on the current developments in the Middle East organized by the Czech Institute 2080, Filipi said "what is going on in Syria is a proxy regional and international war". She added that "though many strategic experts in the West had realized what kind of situation will be created in Syria, western countries insisted to press ahead with their schemes to impose the changes they want."

She went on to say that the Turkish and Qatari regimes wanted from the very beginning to coercively impose the "Muslim Brotherhood" as a major political player and partner in Syria, which is an issue that has been strongly rejected by Syria, therefore these two regimes stood against the Syrian government."

She pointed out that the so-called Syrian “opposition” is still divided and it hasn't been able to come to an agreement for more than five years, so there is no hope to reach a compromise with such an opposition. Besides, the opposition abroad is backed by some countries and it is used to defend the interests of these countries.

Filipi warned that Qatar and Saudi Arabia are using money to influence Western countries and lead them to adopt stances that support the Qatari and Saudi policies.

She wondered how western countries can make alliance with such a radical regime like Saudi Arabia.
