Syria Claims Turkey and Saudi Arabia are Giving Terrorsts WMDs
Syria’s UN envoy has accused Turkey and Saudi Arabia of giving weapons
of mass destruction (WMDs) to terrorist groups fighting in the country.
The charge precedes reports Kurdish fighters battling ISIS militants
have been attacked with chemical weapons.
Bashar Jaafari told a
UN committee on Friday that Turkey and Saudi Arabia should examine their
own involvement in the Syrian conflict before leveling “null and
baseless accusations [against] the Syrian government."
In
comments delivered to the UN’s First Committee on Disarmament and
International Security at the UN General Assembly, Jaafari accused
Ankara and Riyadh of being “directly involved in providing these
terrorist organizations with chemical weapons,” RIA-Novosti cites a
source as saying.
He further accused the countries of helping
finance groups attempting to overthrow Syrian President Bashar Assad. He
singled out Turkey in particular for allegedly supporting over 100
militant organizations currently active in Syria.
Rather than
lend “a helping hand” to help Damascus put a halt to the crisis
currently engulfing the country, the Turkish government has become “one
of the main support bases for these terrorist organizations,” the
Israeli- daily Haaretz cites Jaafari as saying.
