Bratislava (ST)- What the United States has said about its intention to loot Syrian oil proves again its breach of international laws, A Slovak widespread website said today.
The aim of US illegal presence on Syrian soil is to steal its natural resources, not to fight terrorism as it claims, the website added.
In its analysis, the website stressed that the continued illegal US military presence in Syria without the consent of its government is a clear violation of international law, pointing to the US support for terrorist organizations.
The Russian Defense Ministry published late last month a map of the oil fields in Syria and satellites photos taken last September showing the convoys of tankers transporting oil outside Syria under the guard of US military personnel and elements of private US military companies.
The site scoffed at the US announcement concerning the assassination of the Islamic State leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, noting that this announcement is suitable to be a theme for a Hollywood film.
