Turkish regime and its terrorist mercenaries continue to excavate and steal antiquities in Ras al-Ain in Hasakah countryside

The Turkish regime and its terrorist mercenaries continued their organized crimes in the Syrian territories they occupy. During the past hours, they started a new round of  illegal excavations for artifacts in the Ras al-Ain area in the northern countryside of Hasakah, which is one of the richest areas in the archaeological hills in the region.

Local sources said that the mercenaries of the Turkish occupation carried out random excavations under the supervision of the Turkish regime’s intelligence in the archaeological area of “Tal El-Jahash” and the surrounding tombs. They extracted archaeological and pottery finds and immediately began collecting and smuggling them to Turkish territory in agreement with brokers and merchants close to Erdogan’s regime to sell them in global markets.

Since the start of their aggression on Syrian territory, the Turkish regime and its terrorist mercenaries, in cooperation with a group of mercenaries of different nationalities, including Turks, Americans and French, have carried out systematic operations to excavate archaeological sites and steal many of the artifacts in order to sabotage and destroy the Syrian cultural heritage. This constitutes a crime to be added to a long list of crimes committed by these people against the Syrian people, its history and civilization.
