Zakharova: Moscow Wants Turkish-Syrian Border Tightly Sealed

World

MOSCOW- Russia wants the Turkish-Syrian border tightly sealed in order to stop weapons supplies and the infiltrations of terrorists, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told a news briefing on Thursday, Itar Tass reported.

“There have been reports that at least ten Syrian citizens were killed by Turkish troops on June 18 while trying to cross the Syrian-Turkish border near Jisr al-Shughur,” Zakharova said.

 “This is a reason to state once again that the situation on the border between Syria and Turkey is not just complicated, but extremely unfavorable. That situation remains a source of continued tensions due to continued infiltrations by militants from Turkey and the delivery of weapons and ammunition for terrorist groups operating in Syria.”

“In the interests of normalizing the situation in Syria it is important to ensure the Syrian-Turkish border should be tightly sealed to stop all illegal weapons deliveries and the traffic of militants, who join terrorist forces, just as it is stated in the UN Security Council resolutions,” Zakharova said.

As for the situation in Syria in general, Zakharova said that the situation there remained strained.
