Hezbollah Party: EU decision 'aggressive and unjust'

Jul 23, 2013

Beirut/Tehran, (SANA)- Lebanese Hezbollah Party rejected the EU decision to blacklist the party's military wing as "aggressive and unjust" and it was "not based on any justifications or evidence."

In a statement issued on Monday, the party denounced the designation as a capitulation to United States and Zionism pressures, asserting that “It appears that the decision was written with an American hand in Zionist ink."

"Hezbollah Party considers that the EU’s unjust decision does not in any way echo the interests of the EU people and goes against the principles and values of the Europeans who are supportive of freedom and independence." the statement added.

Earlier on Monday, the EU Foreign Ministers added the military wing of Hezbollah Party to the so-called the 'Terrorist Organizations List' in a compliance to the Israeli-American pressures for punishing the Lebanese resistance for its stances in combating the Western project in the region.
