BEIRUT, May 23 (Reuters) - European Union sanctions imposed on Syria's President Bashar al-Assad on Monday will hurt European interests as much as they will hurt Syria's, Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moualem said.
"I say this measure, just as it will harm Syria's interests, it will harm Europe's interest. And Syria won't remain silent about this measure," he told Syrian television in an interview.
