Foreign Ministry: Crimes of terrorism against civilians will not stop unless foreign support to it stops

10 November، 2016

Foreign and Expatriates Ministry said on Thursday that the crimes committed by the terrorist organizations against innocent civilians in Aleppo, and taking citizens as human shields, attacking the western parts of Aleppo, Kafarya and Fou’a towns in Idleb and the crimes in Haddar town in Quneitra show the terrorist nature of these organizations, financed, armed and sheltered by regimes like the Wahhabist regime in Saudi Arabia and those in Qatar and Turkey.

The Foreign Ministry added in two identical letters sent to the UN Secretary General and President of the UN Security Council, that Syria expresses resentment over the standing alliance between Israel and the armed terrorist organizations, this alliance which was overtly uncovered when Israel targeted the Syrian territories after Jabhat al-Nusra’s failure to achieve its objectives in attacking the residents of Haddar town, claiming the lives of nine innocent citizens.

It pointed out that Jabhat al-Nusra and the terrorist organizations linked to it, particularly Nour-Eddin al-Zniki movement, supported by the Turkish regime, has launched during the past days, attacks with rocket shells and gas cylinders on the Campus of Aleppo University which shelters a lot of displaced people and students, claiming the lives of six people and injuring 20 others.

The Ministry affirmed that many people have been killed or injured since Jaish al-Fateh terrorist organization has besieged the towns of Fou’a and Kafarya for more than two years, adding that these towns have not received any food aid from the United Nations, an issue that does not attract the attention of some permanent and non-permanent members at the UNSC.

It added that the so-called Jaish al-Islam terrorist organization, adopted by the Saudi regime, shelled the surrounding area of Harasta city in the eastern countryside of Damascus with mortars , leaving a person dead and three others injured, and causing huge material damage to the properties of the locals.

Foreign Ministry affirmed that the terrorist attacks on the Syrian citizens in one single day, claimed the lives of 17 people and injured 27 children and women, all that did not move the aforementioned states to offer condolences although “they boast of their civilization and respect for the human rights.”

Foreign and Expatriates Ministry concluded by saying that Syria had affirmed that the terrorist slaughtering machine that targets the Syrian children, women and elderly people will not stop until the foreign support to the terrorist organisations stops.

“Syria stresses that the main battle which would unify the efforts of honest people in the world is combating the terrorism of ISIS, Jabhat al-Nusra and the terrorist groups linked to them because the danger of these organizations will not be limited to Syria, Iraq or other states in the region, but rather it will expand to reach the whole region and the world,” the Foreign Ministry added.
