RNA – “On 1 August 2016, Turkish troops were observed entering Syrian territory. Those troops assembled opposite the village of Bikah… in the northern countryside of Aleppo governorate, and built weapons depots,” Jafari said in identical letters addressed to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon and to UN Security Council President Ramlan ibn Ibrahim.
“They handed over those depots, filled with weapons and ammunition, to the Army of Conquest, the al-Nusrah Front and Ahrar al-Sham terrorist groups,” the Syrian diplomat added.
He stressed that the Turkish troops also delivered rockets and ammunition from Turkey to terrorist groups in Aleppo.
Aside from that, a convoy carrying terrorists was observed entering Syria from Turkey, the diplomat said.
“Syria also calls on the Security Council to compel the Turkish regime to close its borders to armed terrorist groups and to stop arming and funding such groups,” Jafari said.
Jafari has repeatedly reported to the UN Secretariat that Ankara as well as Riyadh and Doha were supporting terrorist groups active in Syria.
