The Syrian Foreign Ministry blamed directly the Turkish government for the shedding of Syrian blood, calling on the Security Council and the UN to compel states to comply with counter-terrorism resolutions, and stressing that eliminating terrorism requires a binding group effort, according to SANA News Agency.

In two identical letters sent to the UN Secretary-General and the head of the Security Council, the Ministry said that throughout more than four years of the crisis in Syria, Turkey hasn’t ceased to conspire against Syria by supporting terrorists that came from more than 100 countries through Turkey to join Daesh, Jabhat al-Nusra, Ahrar al Cham, and other Al Qaeda-affiliated organizations.

The letters noted that the Syrian government has sent many letters to the head of the Security Council and the UN Secretary-General documenting the Turkish plotting against Syria.

The Ministry said that the Syrian Arab Republic government rejects the attempts by the Turkish regime to depict itself as the victim and that it is defending itself while everyone is aware of what this regime has done in terms of providing all forms of support to terrorist organizations, violating relevant Security Council resolutions, particularly resolutions no. 2170 and no. 2178 for 2014 and no. 2199 for 2015.

The Ministry stressed that the Turkish government is directly responsible for the shedding of Syrian blood and the humanitarian suffering of millions of Syrians inside and outside Syria as a result of the Turkish government’s support for terrorism.
