Syria Complains to UN over Turkish ’Military Aggression’ into Afrin

Syria Complains to UN over Turkish ’Military Aggression’ into Afrin

Alwaght- Syria has written to the United Nations complaining about ongoing military operation by Turkey on its territory.

“The Ministry added that Syria strongly rejects all attempts of Turkish regime to rely on UNSC resolutions no. 1373, 1624, 1170 and 1178 as no resolutions of these give the member states the right to harm the sovereignty of other states and launch military operations on their territories under the pretext of counterterrorism,” Syria’s official news agency SANA reported.

“The Syrian Arab Republic stresses that the presence of any foreign military operations on its territories without its overt approval is an assault and occupation, which will be dealt with on that basis,” it continued to say, adding that the Turkish military operation on Syria constitutes a violation of the UN Charter.

“The Syrian Arab Republic urges the UNSC not to allow to any state to use force in a way that contradicts with the international law or to depend on the charter to justify its aggressive atrocities as it also urges the Council not to make the Charter a method by the hands of such states to explain it in accordance to their narrow interests that contradict with the context and core of the Charter, noting that the Representatives of the United States, Britain and France, who claimed to cry over Syrian civilians before, did not speak a word about Turkish atrocities in Afrin,” the letter concluded

Over the past days, the Kurds have been facing Turkey's so-called Operation Olive Branch, which was by Ankara in a bid to eliminate the US-backed Kurdish YPG militants, which Ankara views as a terror organization and the Syrian branch of the outlawed Kurdish Workers Party (PKK). The latter has been fighting for an autonomous region inside Turkey since 1984.

Syria has on several occasions condemned the Turkish aggression against its territory and vowed to respond with appropriate action.

The Kurds in northern Syria have been trying over the past years to hive off their administrative affairs from the central government by trying to assume autonomous powers.

The latest statement is viewed as a step back by the Kurdish militants from attempts to establish a state in Syria’s northern regions which they captured from ISIS terrorists a few months ago and refused to hand over to the central government.
