Syria Calls on the UN to force Turkey Stop Helping Sabotaging Aleppo ‘s Plants

DAMASCUS,(ST)_ In two identical letters addressed to the chairman of the UN Security Council and the UN Secretary general, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants today ( Thursday) said  that stealing and transporting  about a thousand plants in the city of Aleppo to Turkey, with full knowledge and facilitation of  the Turkish government is an illegal act tantamount to acts of piracy and aggression targeting  the Syrian people’s   livelihoods and economic incomes.

“This act demonstrates once again the Turkish greedy ambitions and its destructive role  concerning the crisis in Syria, its  ill-intentions towards the Syrians  and refutes its false alleged  claims for ensuring  basic living requirements  of the  Syrian,” the Ministry indicated.
“These unethical practices which  are, but a flagrant violation of the principles of good neighborliness and non-interference in the internal affairs of States is a direct contribution to the border- cross crime  and acts of  piracy that require an international response amounts to the size of the great  damage  inflicted on the Syrian people  and their  economic and trade potentials.” The statements underscored.

“A neighboring country such as Turkey to help terrorism and create conditions for  plundering  Syria’s resources  across the border and destroy capabilities of the Syrian people and the sources of its livelihood and put  these capabilities in support of  terrorism inside Syria is an  action a reaction, requires a reaction from the UN Security Council that comes  up to the size of its vowed  responsibilities and commitments to countering terrorism and maintaining international peace and security, “the ministry went on.
The Ministry called on the  UN Security Council and  the UN Secretary-General “to issue an explicit condemnation to these acts of sabotage and terrorism and take what is necessary against its  perpetrators and those who stand behind them from other regional and international countries and powers,  as an expression of the UN rejection for any additional contribution by countries hostile to Syria to aggravate the living conditions of the Syrian people or increase their humanitarian sufferings. “

The Ministry also called for  “taking  all legal action against the Turkish government to compel the return the stolen properties to their owners and pay all compensation to the affected people  , according to provisions relevant in  the  international law in, as well as to force Turkey to immediately stop  such practices now and in the future.”
