Syrian diplomat condemns Turkish “aggressions” against north Syria
Damascus, (North Press) – On Tuesday, Deputy Permanent Representative of Syria at the United Nations, al-Hakam Dandi, condemned repeated Turkish aggressions against north Syria, calling on the UN Security Council to bound Ankara and Washington to withdraw their forces from Syria.
“UNSC’s meetings on Syria are of no use unless it deals with the basic challenges represented by terrorism,” Dandi noted.
Dandi said the Turkish attacks against north Syria are violations of the international law and the UN Charter, saying Syria condemns in the strongest possible terms the targeting of infrastructure and the human losses caused.
“The pretexts marketed by the Turkish regime to justify its attacks on Syrian territories are no longer tricking anyone, particularly in light of its persistence to back terrorist organizations and to sponsor Daesh [ISIS] and Jabhat al-Nusra,” he said.
“Syria calls on UNSC to compel Turkish regime to end its illegal military presence on Syrian lands,” the Syrian diplomat said.
Dandi said the US occupation continues to plunder Syria’s resources of oil and wheat, and the Turkish regime uses water as a war weapon through depriving one million citizens in Hasakah from water.
“Some member states at UN Security council insist to ignore the basic challenges in Syria represented by terrorism, attacks on its territories and the escalating catastrophic suffering of its people because of the conceive unilateral measures,” the Syrian diplomat indicated.
