Damascus to “confront Turkish aggression by all legitimate means”

Syria condemned in strongest terms the hostile intentions of the Turkish regime and the military build-up at the Syrian borders, affirming that they constitute an outrageous violation of the international law.

A source at the Foreign and Expatriates Ministry said in a statement to SANA on Wednesday that Syria condemns in strongest terms the reckless statements and hostile intentions of the Turkish regime and the military build-up at the Syrian borders which constitute an outrageous violation of the international law and a blatant breach of the International Security Council’s resolutions which affirm respecting Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

The source added that the hostile behavior of Erdogan’s regime appears clearly through the Turkish expansionist ambitions in the Syrian territories, and it couldn’t be justified under any pretext, and what the Turkish regime claims regarding the security of the borders is refuted by this regime’s ignorance of Adana Agreement.

The source added that the Syrian Arab Republic reaffirms Syria’s sanctity, sovereignty and territorial integrity, and it affirms determination and willingness to confront the Turkish aggression by all legitimate means and it asserts that it is ready to embrace all of its misled citizens if they return to the righteous road in a way that would guarantee Syria’s unity and territorial integrity.

The source concluded by saying “Syria reminds that if Erdogan’s regime insists on launching its aggression, it will classify its self as one of the terrorist organization and armed groups and it will absolutely lose its position a guarantor of Astana process and it will deal a strong blow to the political process as a whole.”
