Syrian foreign minister targets Turkey as he calls the nation main sponsor of Terrorism

 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’.

The Syrian minister concluded hoping to form and work with a committee that helps in drafting a new constitution which he said will only be possible if there is no external interference.
