Aleida Guevara, revolutionary leader Ernesto Che Guevara’s daughter, strongly condemned on Friday the terrorist war imposed on Syria during the past years, SANA reported.

During her meeting with the Syrian Ambassador in Havana, Ghassan Obaid, Guevara considered that "the terrorist war targeted the Syrian people and distorted their civilization and ancient history, since Syria is a country that resists and rejects all forms of compromise and normalization."

Guevara hailed the heroism of the Syrian army and reaffirmed her support for the Syrian people in their struggle against the Israeli occupation to liberate the occupied Syrian Arab Golan, as well as the liberation of all occupied Arab territories.

She also expressed her support for the right of return for the Palestinian people and the establishment of their independent state with Al-Quds as its capital and pointed to Cuba’s correct stance to shut the Israeli occupation embassy in solidarity with Palestine and the Arabs.

Guevara also pointed to the cultural and civilizational diversity of Syria.

On his part, the Syrian Ambassador expressed his appreciation for Guevara’s stance toward Syria, adding that she represents the historical school and the living heritage of revolutionary leader Ernesto Che Guevara who visited Syria in 1959.

It is noteworthy that in an interview for Al Mayadeen, Che’s daughter pointed out that Lebanon, Syria, and Iran are the only regional countries actively championing a righteous stance toward Palestine, stressing that the Palestinian people should be supported and that "we must fight with them side by side."

El Commandante’s daughter has previously sent a letter to Al Mayadeen, on the occasion of the launch of Al Mayadeen English, in which she urged the world and the website to "defend the truth above anything else," and stressed that "correct information, truthful information are essential, and that is what Al Mayadeen does with the stories it gives us every day."
