Al-Zou’bi: No One in Turkey Has Right to Accuse Syria, Erdogan Has to Step Down

DAMASCUS, (ST) _The Turkish government has turned the bordering areas into international terrorism centers. It has been facilitating the smuggling of terrorists, weapons, financial aid, explosive devices and cars into Syria to reach the armed terrorist groups in the country, stressed Information Minister Omran al-Zou’bi on Sunday.

Al-Zou’bi, who was speaking at the opening ceremony of a political and intellectual symposium held at the Al-Assad Library in Damascus, said that the Erdogan-led Turkish government is politically and morally responsible for what is happening to the Syrian and Turkish peoples and to the peoples of the entire region.

Commenting on Saturday’s blasts in Turkey, the minister said that “no one in Turkey has the right to arbitrarily accuse Syria for the explosions which hit Turkey yesterday, because Syria didn’t and will never commit such an act, as this behavior contradicts our values.”

Al-Zou’bi held Turkey along with some Arab and Western parties responsible for the ongoing events in Syria. He blamed the Turkish government for the bombings which hit Turkey yesterday, and urged Erdogan to step down, because he hasn’t the right to build his glories at the expense of the blood of the Syrians and the Turks.
