Illegal entry of Dutch and French delegations into Syria is a blatant attack on its sovereignty, says FM
DAMASCUS, (ST)_ Syria has stressed that the illegitimate entry of a Dutch and a French delegation into the Syrian territories in collusion with the US-backed “Syrian Democratic Forces” militia and the continuation of the Turkish regime’s Turkification policy in the areas where its terrorist organizations are spread constitute a flagrant violation of international law and a blatant attack on Syrian sovereignty.
An official source at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates said in a statement released on Sunday that the representatives of some countries, which have been involved in the war against Syria, have carried out practices that constitute a flagrant violation of the international law, and a blatant attack on the sovereignty of Syria.
The source clarified that a Dutch delegation headed by the so-called special envoy for the Syrian file, illegally entered into the Syrian territory in collusion with the SDF militia [ Its Arabic acronym is QASAD] under the pretext of receiving a number of ISIS terrorists held by the militia.
It added that another French delegation from the Danielle Mitterrand Foundation and the Paris City Council, illegally visited Qamishli city in collusion with the SDF militia as part of the direct French involvement in the aggression against Syria.
The source affirmed that Syria expresses its categorical rejection and strong condemnation of these practices, and it reiterates its determination to impose the state’s sovereignty over all its territory and liberate them from Turkish, US, and other foreign occupation forces.
“Syria calls on the International Community, mainly UN and its bodies to take the appropriate stance towards these practices ,which constitute a flagrant violation of the international law ,and to force the governments of those countries to abandon their destructive policies that aim at impeding the return of security and stability to Syria ,” the statement concluded.
