Aleppo-Sana
The mercenaries of the Turkish occupation of terrorist organizations intensified excavations for antiquities under direct Turkish intelligence supervision in the archaeological hill of Dodari in the occupied Afrin region, north of Aleppo, as part of their organized criminal practices against the Syrian heritage.
Civil sources told SANA that terrorists backed by the Turkish occupation forces intensified in recent days the digging and bulldozing operations in search of antiquities and finds in the archaeological hill of Dodari in the Afrin region, using modern equipment supplied by the Turkish occupation forces, which directly supervises the excavations.
The sources added that the Turkish occupation forces are seeking to control the antiquities that preserve the history of the region and its Syrian identity, and are working to direct its mercenaries to search for antiquities in order to sell them to Turkish antiquities dealers, who in turn sell them to antiquities dealers in various countries of the world.
The terrorists, under the supervision of Turkish, American and French archaeologists and excavators, during the previous years of the aggressive war on Syria, excavated archaeological sites and stole many finds in them in order to sabotage and destroy the Syrian cultural heritage, which constitutes a war crime in addition to the crimes committed against the Syrian people, its history and civilization.
