For his part, Director of the Information Office of the Regional Government of La Rioja, Axier Amo Izarra, confirmed that aim of the American administration in implementing of the so-called “Caesar Act” is to multiplying the effects of the sanctions imposed by Western countries on Syria, saying the White House has made a plot for targeting Syria through restrictions and destabilization using terrorist organizations including Daesh (ISIS).
