Turkish-Syrian Border Must Be Closed to End “Daesh” Arms Flow: Russian Diplomat

International

Weapons and terrorists get to Syria through the Turkish border and closing it off is a top priority, Russian envoy to the UN Geneva Office Alexey Borodavkin told Sputnik on Wednesday.

GENEVA-Earlier reports suggested that terrorists in Syria were receiving multiple arms supplies from Turkey including ground-to-ground missiles.

“We are well aware that, unfortunately, weapons, equipment, ammunition and militants belonging to Jabhat al-Nusra and Daesh cross to the Syrian territory through the Turkish-Syrian border. Therefore, one of the priority tasks is to reliably block the Turkish-Syrian border,” Borodavkin said.

 

In early February, Syrian government forces alongside the National Defense Forces have managed to cut off several main supply lines of Al-Nusra Front terrorists on the Turkish border.

In December 2015, the Russian Defense Ministry released satellite images showing stolen Syrian oil being trucked by “Daesh” from Syria to Turkey.

“Daesh” also used the Turkish city of Gaziantep to sell off thousands of antiquities looted in Iraq and Syria, according to the Russian permanent representative to the UN.
