Ivan Gabal: "It´s time to close our embassy in Damascus. We can´t keep covering the crimes of the regime of the Bashar al-Assad. The ambassy don´t have the outcome, at least from the humanitarian perspective, and the embassy administration is very expensive. We could spend these resources to help people in refugee camps or to support other embassies. We need to decide, because the only thing we do in Damascus is that we cover up the dirty work and make al-Assad regime legitimate."
