Alwaght- Syria has criticized the international community’s double standards in war on terror after the UN Security Council refused to condemn a terrorist attack in the Syrian city of Homs on Saturday that took the lives of 22 civilians.
After a deadly attack in Homs, the Syrian Foreign Ministry sent two identical letters to the UNSC and the office of the Secretary General Ban Ki-moon condemning the series of terror attacks which took place in the country last week, urging the international community not to turn a blind eye to terrorism.
In response, the Russian UN mission drafted a statement that condemned the Homs attack in particular, which the UNSC was quick to reject.
“Russia has prepared a draft statement for the UN Security Council in connection with the attack in Homs. The proposal was rejected,” the diplomatic source told RIA, adding that some of the members of the council disagreed with certain provisions in the document.
Syrian Foreign ministry in its address to the UN stressed that Syria is suffering “a series of ongoing crimes against humanity,” urging the international community and members of the UNSC to cease financing terrorist groups in Syria.
On Saturday, a group of terrorists detonated a car bomb near a hospital in the center of Homs. At least 22 people were killed and more than 70 injured.
In letters addressed to Ban Ki-moon and USCE, Syria reiterated that the terrorist attacks could not have taken place unless these groups had foreign support.
The Syrian government reiterated that most of the terror attacks “would not have happened without ... generous support with money, weapons and ammunition to the terrorist organizations as well as the political and media support provided by known countries such as Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar,” the Ministry said, reported official news agency Sana.
