Pertro Canada gets oil and gas rights in Syria
A contract on oil and gas excavation and production was signed in Damascus yesterday between Syrian Petroleum Company ( SPC ) and Canadian Pertro Canada Co. The contract was signed by Oil and Mineral Resources Minister Ibrahim Haddad and SPCâs General Director Ahmad Muaala on the Syrian side, and Petro - Canadaâs Department. According to the said contract, Syrian government grants SPC and Petro Canada the exclusive right to excavate for oil and its productions in the region north of Syria.It is all about the oil, I guess a little thing like Canadian citizens being tortured wasnât important. Maher Arar, a 33-year-old Ottawa computer engineer, was arrested Sept. 26, 2002, during a stopover in New York and deported to Syria, where he was interrogated for more than a year and tortured. Oh, I forgot. Itâs the US governmentâs fault. Posted by: Steve 2003-11-14 |
