TEHRAN -Sudan rejected media reports on its government sending arms to Turkey through Ukrainian airlines to be used in the foreign-backed war in Syria.
Colonel Alsawarmi Khalid Saad, the Sudanese military spokesman, denied on Thursday a report published by the New York Times claiming that Sudan has sent at least three shipments of arms to Turkey for “militants” in Syria.
He said, “These allegations are meant to harm our relations with friendly countries,” Al-Alam reported.
Imad Sid Ahmad, Sudanese press secretary for President Omar Hassan al-Bashir also said, “Sudan has not sent weapons to Syria”.
“We don’t have any extra weapons to give them to anybody and Sudanese government believes in a peaceful solution for crisis in Syria,” he added.
