Syria’s permanent representative to the UN, Dr. Bashar al-Jaafari said on Friday that Syria fights terrorism on its territories and will continue to confront the Turkish aggression, protect its citizens, defend its unity and adhere to its sovereignty and national independent decision.

According to SANA, al-Jaafari, speaking at a UN Security council emergency session on the situation in Idlib, called on the international organization to assume its responsibilities and put an end to Erdogan’s regime adventures that pose threat to international peace and security.

He demanded the countries which called for holding the UNSC session to respond to questions about the existence of Turkish troops on the Syrian lands, wondering if this existence would be considered as a military aggression or not.

Al-Jaafari stressed that in spite of Syria’s calls on the Turkish regime to carry out its obligations within the time durations specified by Astana and Sochi agreements, Erdogan outlaw regime has disavowed from his obligations and exploited the de-escalation zones agreement in an attempt to impose a terrorist status-quo in Idlib and Aleppo.

Al-Jaafari reiterated that Syria fights terrorism on its lands, not on the lands of any other country, and it will continue to confront the Turkish aggression with all possible means, protect its citizens, defend its unity and adhere to its sovereignty and national independent decision.
