Syria accuses Turkey of arming terrorist groups
February 16, 2013 - 18:19 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Syria's Foreign and Expatriates Ministry said that
the Turkish government `continues to flagrantly interfere in the
Syrian domestic affairs in breach of the UN charter, the international
law, and the rules governing relations among countries.'
According to the state-run news agency SANA, in two identical letters
addressed on Friday, Feb 15, to head of the UN Security Council and
the UN Secretary-General highlighting Turkey's subversive role in the
Syrian crisis, the ministry said that the Turkish government has
sought to obstruct the implementation of the political program
announced by President Bashar al-Assad for solving the crisis in
Syria, and the ensuing measures undertaken by the Syrian government
for that end.
''Turkey has turned its territories into a stamping ground for
hosting, training, funding, arming and smuggling armed terrorist
groups, mainly al-Qaeda and Jabhat al-Nusra and other terrorist
groups, into Syria,'' the letters said, adding ''and it publicly
supports and justifies their destructive practices of killing and
methodical vandalism of infrastructure and public and private
property.''
''According to international law, the rules governing international
relations and good neighborliness, the Turkish government's conduct
constitutes a flagrant violation of the international law,'' the
ministry added. The ministry affirmed that in so doing, the Turkish
government violates the UN charter which states that "all Members
shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use
of force against the territorial integrity or political independence
of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of
the United Nations.''
The ministry stressed that the Turkish government's `blatant
violations of the international law and good neighborliness makes it
imperative that the international community prevent the Turkish
government and the regional and international sides conspiring against
Syria from pushing ahead with its acts that amount to aggression,
underlining need for obliging it to stop interference in the Syrian
internal affairs.'
