Al-Jaafari: Syria’s important victories will contribute to a reduction in terrorism threats in the world
Syria’s permanent representative to the UN, Dr. Bashar al-Jaafari, said that Syria has achieved important victories over terrorism despite the high price the Syrian people paid because of the support offered by some Security Council member countries to terrorism.
In a speech he made at a UN Security Council session, al-Jaafari said that these victories will have an important role in reducing terrorism threats in the world.
He added the Security council has been controlled by some states which tried to topple the legitimate government in Syria using the UN mechanisms and forging facts as they did in Iraq, Libya and Venezuela. Moreover, al-Jaafari went on to say, these same states are trying to hinder the victories realized by the Syrian Arab army against terrorist organizations operating in Idleb.
Al-Jaafari wondered why the UN Security Council keeps silent towards the US crime of assassinating Iranian and Iraqi leaders who were fighting the terrorist organizations of Daesh and al-Nosra Front.
The Syrian diplomat said that these states believe that their economic and military supremacy would give them the right to determine fate of other member countries, and this threatens to make the destiny of UN similar to that of the League of Nations.
He wondered why the Security Council fails to implement its resolutions related to combating terrorism and abstains from punishing courtiers which continue supporting Jabhat al-Nusra terrorist organization in Syria. “We are surprised with the silence of the Security Council about the aggression practices and military occupation perpetrated by the US, French, British and Turkish forces in Syria,” al-Jaafari said, noting that it very strange that the Council has been keeping silent towards the practices of the US and Turkish occupations in northern Syria, especially the Turkish forces occupation of parts of the Syrian territories, displacing thousands of families and transporting many terrorists from Idleb to Libya.
He also wondered why Security council is silent towards the Israeli continued occupation of Palestine and the Syrian Golan and why the Council ignored an attempt made by a permanent member state to legalize Israeli settlement on the occupied Arab territories.
A-Jaafari concluded expressing regrets for the abstention of the US to give an entry visa for Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Jawad Zarif to take part in the this session.
