Silence encourages terrorism and its supporters

Verbal condemnation of the terrorism and its supporters is not sufficient by the international community. The continuing silence and lack of condemnation of terrorist acts encourages terrorists and their supporters and funders to continue committing terrorist acts, and it encourages ISIS and its sponsors,  particularly the Turkish and Saudi regimes, to continue committing massacres against the Syrian people.

This silence also encourages terrorist groups outside Syria that are carrying out attacks in other states in the region and the world.

The Security Council and the UN Secretary-General should take immediate deterrent and punitive measures against the states that support and fund terrorism, particularly Saudi Arabia and Turkey.

The Security Council must prevent the aforementioned states’ regimes and others from continuing to support terrorism and tampering with international peace and security, and  it must compel them to comply with relevant Security Council resolutions.

It has become clear to all that the terrorist organizations committing these acts of terrorism are the real tools of the Saudi and Turkish regimes on the Syrian ground.

The attacks  are a Turkish-Saudi response after the two sides’ role in inflaming the crisis in Syria was laid bare.They are also a new attempt by the Turkish and Saudi regimes specifically to impede the diplomatic efforts seeking a political solution to the crisis.

The regimes in those countries must be prevented from continuing their support to terrorism and messing around with the international security and peace and compelled to fully abide by the rules of the Security Council’s relevant resolutions 2170, 2178, 2199, 2253 and 2268.

The cruel crimes of the extremists aim at intimidating the civilian population and undermining attempts to achieve lasting political settlement of the Syria crisis in the interests of all Syrians and efforts to stop violence and bloodshed.

These terrorist atrocities target the innocent and seek to foil any political process that serve the Syrian people, as the terrorist organizations do not need a political solution to the crisis in Syria but rather they work on igniting the situation every time a political solution looms.

The success of the political process in Syria requires the firm and serious confrontation of terrorism and the elimination of terrorists because they do not want any solution to the crisis in Syria.
