Geneva, SANA – Syria’s Permanent Representative to the UN in Geneva, Hussam Eddin Ala, said that European Union’s extensions of the unilateral coercive measures on Syria amid the Coronavirus pandemic, in parallel with the US applying the so-called “Caesar Act,” constitute a crime against humanity.
In a statement on Monday before the Human Right Council passed Britain’s draft resolution about the state of human rights in Syria, Ala denounced the Council resolutions for ignoring to American practices and statements which seek to prolong its humanitarian crises in Syria through the so-called Caesar Act, looting oil, and burning crops.
Ala underlined that addressing the humanitarian crises which the Syrian people are enduring cannot be done with conferences held without presence of the Syrian government nor through pressure on the United Nations to prevent it from supporting the development efforts, or hindering the reconstruction process, or by politicizing humanitarian aid and diverting it to areas where terrorists are active.
He stressed that the Council has ignored the war crimes which the Turkish regime has committed by destroying historical heritage, looting economic resources, and applying systematic Turkification measures in the north of Syria, in addition to ignoring the threats posed by the US against Syrian unity and territorial integrity through the support provided by US occupation forces to separatist militias in the southeast of Syria and terrorist groups in al-Tanf and al-Rukban.
Ala added that the Turkish regime is violating the Astana and Sochi agreements by providing direct military support and protection for Takfiri organizations such as Jabhat al-Nusra, as well as the participation of the Turkish occupation forces in the operations of terrorist organizations, in addition to making Idleb a hotbed of international terrorism.

His crimes are not limited to bloodshed … Erdogan regime sets fire, loots crops in Syrian al-Jazeera
22 June، 2020Damascus, SANA- Declared theft and looting of the economic resources of the Syrian people carried out by the Turkish regime, led by Endogen and his terrorist mercenaries constantly in the context of an open economic war targeting Syria’s strategic resources, especially those related to food security, like wheat and barley crops.
Erdogan turned into a thief who steals the resources and capabilities of the Syrian people, a thing that was confirmed by the confessions of the Governor of Şanlıurfa, Abdullah Areen, who said, “The Turkish Agricultural Crops office will buy wheat and barley in the cities of Tal Abyad and Ras Al-Ayn in Hasaka at a price that is not less than the market price, in addition to providing a possibility for companies to purchase them. It is a method used by the Turkish occupier to steal and loot those strategic crops.
The theft of wheat and barley crops, and the fabrication of fires in large areas of them, is a policy outlined by Erdogan regime whose aggressive goals have become clear in the framework of a systematic economic war aimed at starving the Syrian people after the failure of its tools of terrorist organizations in their aggressive war and trying to subdue Syrians who reject all forms of occupation.
Civil sources from Al-JAZEERA region have also affirmed several weeks ago that the Turkish occupation forces had brought in several trucks loaded with prefabricated rooms and building materials through Al- Sukkari border village that headed south to their illegal bases in Abu Rasin in the northern countryside of Al-Hasaka.
The sources noted that the occupation mercenaries began harvesting wheat fields and stealing the crops among the citizens in Abu Rasin area, using the harvesters offered by the Turkish occupation recently to steal wheat from the people.
