Slowly but with time countries are beginning to acknowledge Turkey’s dangerous motives in the region and with Syria’s foreign minister coming out and naming Turkey as the main sponsor of the terrorism, country’s will be more cautious in matters with Turkey.
He blamed Turkey for being guilty for committing ‘war
crimes and crimes against humanity’. He said this after Turkish people were
denied entrance into Syrian land and Turkey retaliated by cutting off the water
supply from this household.
On Saturday in a first-ever high level meeting, Walid
al-Moallem said that the cutoff of water supply will threaten the lives of the
civilians. It was a rare picture of the foreign minister speaking in a harsh
and loud tone while addressing the issue. It was a pre-recorded speech that was
being played in the UN General Assembly meeting held virtually due to Covid-19
Pandemic.
Turkey has established itself as a notorious element in
Syria which is seen supporting the opposition fighters against the
establishment. Earlier it started a civil war but now the land of Syria has
become the center for proxy wars where the western powers and middle eastern
big horses are playing their cards. Over the years, Turkey has increased its
control over the region and now controls a zone in Northern Syria.
But the injustice on Syria was not the only blame that
minister hinted at. He even talked about how Turkey uses refugees as a ploy to
bargain with Europe and how Ankara recruits Syrian mercenaries for a proxy war
in Libya and even shows military and power dominance in the Mediterranean
against Greece. “The terrorists and mercenaries — referred to by some as
`moderate opposition’ -- from Syria to Libya," violating Iraq’s
sovereignty, using refugees “as bargaining chips against Europe” and laying
claim “by force to energy resources in the Mediterranean,” said the minister.
He further questioned the Turkish regime in its activities
and said that it has become rogue where it shows complete disrespect to the
International laws. He warned the whole region of the policies and activities
that the country is planning out.
While the Turkish UN mission completely disregarded the
statements made by the foreign minister saying that it is a ‘delusional
statement, ridden with ludicrous allegations, in its entirety’.
