The withdrawal of the sanctions is essential to tackle the causes of the current refugee crisis and combat terrorism in the country.
"Western governments don't learn from previous lessons. They imposed sanctions on Iraq and the only party which was affected was the Iraqi people. Now the same thing is being inflicted on Syria. They would not hurt Assad personally but the Syrian people are suffering," the website "End the Sanctions on Syria" wrote.
"Economic sanctions have combined with western-backed terrorism, and constant lies about who is responsible for civilian massacres, in attempts to cripple the Syrian state," the website wrote.
Earlier, Bouthania Shaaban, political adviser to Syrian President Bashar Assad, said in an interview with Australian ABC that the West has to withdraw the sanctions against the Syrian people, as they help terrorists to gain upper hand over the local population. According to the politician, the West should fight terrorism in cooperation with the Syrian government if it really wants to achieve peace in the war-torn country.
"The only way and the best way to end this war on Syria is to have Western countries truly wanting to fight terrorism, to join the Syrian Army and the Russians in fighting terrorism," she said.
Syria has been in a state of civil war since 2011, with forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar Assad fighting several opposition factions and terrorist groups, such as Daesh. The five-year conflict has forced millions of Syrians to flee their home country and head to Europe, creating the worst refugee crisis since the WWII.
On September 30, Moscow began its own anti-terror campaign in Syria on Damascus' request. As result, the Syrian Army and Russian Armed Forces jointly managed to liberate large parts of Syria captured by Daesh terrorists.
