The permanent representative of the Syrian Arab Republic to the United Nations and international organizations in Geneva, Ambassador Hossam El-Din Ala, reiterated that the Syrian state is the most keen to protect its citizens in all of the Syrian territories, pointing out that the operations to clear Syrian lands in Idlib and Aleppo from terrorism are consistent with its international obligations to combat terrorism and its obligations Patriotism is to protect its citizens and preserve the unity and territorial integrity of the country in the face of terrorism and occupation.

In a letter sent by Ambassador Ala to the High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet, in response to her statement and to the statements of her spokesman for her office regarding the situation in the Syrian Arab Republic, “The statement and the statements of the spokesman regarding the deliberate targeting of civilians and civil infrastructure are unhealthy and rejected as Misleading statements distort reality and present a distorted picture of it, and we regret that the statement was based on a wrong approach that ignores the goals of the military operation in the provinces of Aleppo and Idlib by liberating the people of those areas from the hegemony of terrorist organizations classified by the Security Council as entities associated with the organization of Promising, such as Jabhat al-Nusra and other extremist terrorist groups allied with it, which includes thousands of foreign terrorists who were entered by the Recep Tayyip Erdogan government across the Turkish border into the Syrian territories to wreak corruption and impose on its residents a lifestyle that is not different in its extremism and crime than the lifestyle imposed by ISIS In his former areas of control in Syria and Iraq. ”

Ambassador Ala added: “It is surprising that the High Commissioner’s statement does not contain any mention of terrorist organizations and their crimes and instead describes them as non-state armed groups ... It is more surprising that the statement ignores the illegal Turkish military presence that violates international law and the UN Charter and that He ignores the responsibility of the Erdogan government for the crimes committed by his armed forces and mercenary groups on Syrian soil.

Ambassador Ala pointed out in his message that while we expect the international community to support the efforts of the Syrian state to get rid of the hotbed of cancerous terrorism on its soil and from the American and Turkish occupation, we are surprised that parties in the United Nations joined the demand to stop our endeavors to end the anomalous conditions in Idlib, Aleppo and rid our citizens of Terrorism, which they took as human shields and traded their human suffering in the Turkish policy bazaars, asked: “Is it required from Syria to appease the terrorist organizations and accept the continued illegal foreign military presence on its soil?

Ambassador Ala explained that the Syrian state took the appropriate measures by announcing the opening of three humanitarian corridors in the areas of the present in the countryside of Aleppo and Abu al-Dhuhr in Idlib countryside and al-Habit in the countryside of Hama and called on civilians to go to them starting from 13/1-2020 indicating that with hundreds of citizens leaving through those Crossings The threats of the Jabhat al-Nusra Front and its shelling of the crossings with mortars prevented others from reaching them and forced them to flee towards the Turkish border, where Erdogan's government trades their suffering.

He added, “On February 17 this year, the Syrian state announced the opening of two new humanitarian corridors in Miznar in the countryside of Aleppo and in Majairz in Idlib countryside to receive civilians wishing to exit to the safe areas ... Hence, the High Commissioner’s call on the Syrian government to open humanitarian corridors for the passage of civilians and ignore the practices of Jabhat al-Nusra in preventing Civilians from its use indicates a flaw in the information available to the Office of the High Commissioner, "stressing that the Syrian state called on all Syrians who had been forced to flee their homes and areas to return to it while ensuring their security, protection and the provision of their necessary needs. He said:" What is required are It is to pressure the terrorist organizations and their operators in Turkey and some European countries by allowing them to return. ”

Ambassador Ala continued: “Thousands of Syrians have returned to their original areas in the liberated areas of Aleppo, Hama, Idlib, and yesterday, the security of the Syrian Arab Army has entered dozens of families to the city of Maarat al-Numan in Idlib countryside, in preparation for their return to them after completing the work to rehabilitate the infrastructure and service facilities there, as the Syrian government has requested organizations The United Nations has repeatedly assisted in securing the exit of civilians through the crossings and by providing humanitarian assistance to these Syrian citizens, but we are still facing disappointing procrastination from some of these organizations, under the pressure of known countries. ”

Ambassador Ala pointed out that the indiscriminate shells fired by terrorist groups over the past years from their areas in the northern and western countryside of Aleppo to the residential neighborhoods of the city of Aleppo have led to a massive forced displacement of their residents inside and outside Syria and claimed the lives of fifteen thousand civilians of the city and wounded fifty thousand others Among them, five thousand were subjected to physical disability, according to the statistics announced by the director of legal medicine in the city on February 16, and this explains the spontaneous popular marches that pervaded the city in celebration of ridding its residents of the bullying of terrorist groups and rejoicing at the return of the tidal airport. Highways NH leading to it to work again after years of siege caused by terrorist groups that govern civilian facilities.

Ambassador Ala continued: "We regret that these data are absent from the statement of the High Commissioner, which echoes the unrealistic figures released by the UCHA and its office in the Turkish city of Gaziantep, which has turned into a den of the intelligence services of some countries and has become the main source of fabricated information aimed at tarnishing the image of the Syrian government." .

Ambassador Ala concluded his message by saying: “While the Syrian government renews its commitment to respond to the humanitarian needs of its citizens on the entire Syrian territory, it wishes to recall here that the most brutal human suffering is imposed on the Syrian people as a result of economic terrorism practiced by the United States and the European Union through Imposing unilateral coercive measures that continue to work to deprive him of heating fuel during the harsh winter in the region and from medicines and milk for Syrian children, in conjunction with the United States' continued to steal Syrian oil resources. It is regrettable that these grave violations of the basic rights of Syrian citizens, foremost of which is the violation of their right to life, are absent from the statements and reports of the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights and that the office continues to ignore the report of the rapporteur on the impact of unilateral coercive measures on the enjoyment of human rights about his visit to the Syrian Arab Republic.
