Top Syrian Defector

Top Syrian Defector

Editor,

We learn from the news that a top Syrian ambassador has defected to Turkey.

Why would someone who is a "top" state official defect?

Could it be because he realised - even if belatedly - that the State he was representing had become a rogue state which was hell-bent on persecuting its own people and even killing thousands of them just because they were opposed to the current state rulers?

Men of conscience would find it hard to serve /continue to serve such a regime.

I think many people around the world can appreciate where the top defecting diplomat is coming from .

The man does not want to a part of the tyrannical Syrian state.

yours sincerely,

Rajend Naidu
