The Foreign and Expatriates Ministry criticized the Turkish regime under Recep Tayyip Erdogan for its new violent intervention in areas in the northern countryside of Aleppo.

The Ministry informed the UN Secretary General and the Head of the Security Council in two letters on Thursday that the Turkish forces recently conducted new incursions in several regions of the Syrian territory, mainly in Azaz, Jibrin and Ekhtrin in northern Aleppo.

It noted that Syria explained in previous similar letters to the UN chief officials Turkey’s acts of occupying Syrian land, using armed force and backing up the armed terrorist groups in terms of harboring, training and arming them, in addition to the Turkish regime’s policy of building walls that has already began several areas along the Syrian border, cutting off vast parts of the Syrian territory at the expense of the Syrian farmers in those areas.

The Ministry slammed Erdogan regime’s policy of aggression and expansionist delusions in the Syrian territory, stating Erdogan’s acts grossly contravene the international legitimacy, the goals and principles of the UN Charter and the resolutions of the international Security Council that confirm the sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity of Syria.

The new Turkish aggression, the Ministry said, came in the framework of the subversive role the Turkish government is playing in Syria, and makes Turkey a “main partner” in the terrorism and conspiring that is targeting Syria in a way that poses a serious threat to the regional and international security and stability, at a time when the international community knows very well that the situation in the region cannot afford any more complexity, terrorism or destruction.

The letters said that the continued silence of the Security Council towards such practices and policies conducted by the regime of Recep Tayyip Erdogan would further embolden this regime to continue challenging the will of the international community that seeks to put a rapid end to the crisis in Syria and to restore security and stability to this region.
