Turkish Businessmen: Terrorist Groups Loot Syrian Factories, Smuggle Equipments to Turkey

Economy & Aftermath

ANKARA- Turkish Businessmen in the southeast of Turkey have stressed that terrorist groups’ members disassemble the equipments and machines of Syrian factories which stopped working and smuggle the pieces to Turkey.

In a statement published by a Turkish website, the businessmen said that the equipments of 15 factories and small industrial facilities have so far been disassembled by the terrorists and smuggled to Turkey.

They pointed out that the stolen and smuggled equipments were reassembled to set up new factories. Other parts were sold in different Turkish cities including Istanbul.

The businessmen held members of the terrorist Jabhet al-Nusra as responsible for dismantling, stealing the equipments and machines of the factories and smuggling them to Turkey across the bordering crossings on which Jabhet al-Nusra takes control.

“Janhet al-Nousra steals the money and factories of the Syrian people, causing damage to Syria as a neighbor state,” a Turkish businessman said.

Chief of the Turkish Shoes Companies Union (Ibrahim Bougor) affirmed that Syrian factories are being stolen with their equipments being smuggled to Turkey to set up new factories there.

He added: “Goods, including production equipments and machines are being smuggled from Syria to Turkey. The Turkish officials should find a solution to these illegal activities.”

Last year, the Foreign and Expatriates Ministry sent two letters to President of the UN Security Council and the UN Chief saying that “about 1000 factories in Aleppo were exposed to stealing and smuggling to Turley under complete knowledge and facilitation by the Turkish government.”

 The Ministry described this behavior as illegal and as an act of piracy which targets the Syrian people’s living.
