Al-Saraji: What has been reported by the US magazine ‘New Yorker’ is a total lie

The head of the Safer Maintenance Agreement Committee, Ibrahim Al- Seraji, denied what was reported in the US New Yorker magazine about the reasons for obstructing the Safer tank maintenance agreement.

Al-Saraji told Almasirah on Tuesday, that the US magazine deliberately cut and distorted the answers to obscure the truth, stressing that the committee will issue, in the coming hours, a statement containing the original texts of the interview and how they were distorted by the US New Yorker magazine.

“We will send a clarification to the American magazine and demand the right of reply and publish it in the same space unless we will resort to sue it before the courts”, he added.

Al-Seraji expressed the committee’s hope that UN would retract its positions and return to the agreement in order to spare the Red Sea environment any disaster.
