Syrian Foreign Minister: Turkey provides suicides with advanced weapons

Syrian Deputy Prime Minister, Foreign and Expatriates Minister Walid al Moallem discussed Thursday with Chinese Special Envoy for Syria Ambassador Xie Xiaoyan the regional developments, the crisis in Syria and means to find a solution that preserves the interests of the Syrian people and their right to an independent decision and their country’s sovereignty, SANA reported.

Moallem affirmed that the people and government of Syria continue to combat the terrorist organizations which are constantly supported by some countries, such as Turkey, being offered passage for terrorists and provided with advanced weapons to open new fronts in the fight.

This continued support requires that an international stand be taken to the effect of respecting the Security Council resolutions related to combating terrorism, he added.

Moallem clarified to the Chinese envoy that Syria provides aid to its people basically because it considers it its duty to assist them, affirming that the Syrian government’s position is to continue the war against Daesh, Jabhat al-Nusra and the other terrorist groups while it goes on with the political process in Geneva.

For his part, the Chinese envoy said his country affirms its stance which calls for restoring security and stability to Syria and supports the intra-Syrian dialogue to solve the crisis and the Syrian people’s right to choose what they see fit to preserve the unity of their country, in addition to standing against interference in their internal affairs.

Ambassador Xie Xiaoyan added that China appreciates the Syrian government’s positive achievements of securing aid to its people in many areas around the country, stressing that China would continue supporting Syria until safety and stability are restored to it.
