Al-Jaafari: Qatari, Saudi and Turkish Intelligence Responsible for Funding Terrorists in Syria

NEW YORK-The Qatari, Saudi and Turkish Intelligence bodies are directly responsible for funding the armed terrorist groups in Syria and they have made coordination with al-Nousra front to kidnap UN peacekeeping forces working within the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force in the Syrian Golan Heights (UNDOF), Syria’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations Bashar al-Jaafari said in a press conference in New York on Tuesday.

The Syrian diplomat affirmed that Israel is the main beneficiary from the evacuation of UN peacekeepers from occupied Golan, because it seeks absent international monitoring in this area.

He clarified that Syria had submitted official documents and provided facts to the United Nations proving the involvement of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Jordan in supporting al-Nousra Front and other terrorist organizations in Syria to kidnap UNDOF Fiji peacekeepers, but the UN General Assembly adopted no action or stance in this respect.

“Syria had previously warned of Qatar, Turkey and Saudi Arabia’s intentions to encourage terrorist groups to enter the UNDOF area to establish a buffer zone similar to that created by Israel in cooperation with its agents in South Lebanon which was later liberated by the Lebanese resistance in 2000,” al-Jaafari said, stressing that no procedures have been taken by the international community to stop this intervention.

He clarified that the United Nations is being hit by corruption encouraged by Qatar, Turkey and Saudi Arabia which allocates 100 million dollars to the UN Counter Terrorism Center and simultaneously funds terrorism in Syria.  

Al-Jaafari asserted that those who claim they will fight terrorism don’t seek coordination neither with the Syrian government nor with the governments of Iran, Russia and China, because they don’t really seek terrorism fighting, rather they want to use terrorism for more intervention in the region’s internal affairs.

He stressed that counterterrorism should be done in accordance with the Security Council Resolution No. 2170. “Syria has been fighting terrorism and the ISIL over the past two years on behalf of the entire world. “It didn’t wait for the formation of an international anti-terror alliance and it won’t wait for an invitation to coordinate with this alliance,” al-Jaafari said.  

He wondered how the international alliance wants to combat the terrorism of ISIL in Syrian without coordination with the Syrian state and at the same time threatens the Syrian government of aggression if it defends its sovereignty.
