New York, SANA-Syria’s permanent representative to the UN, Bashar al-Jaafari, affirmed on Monday that the suffering of the Syrians from terrorism over the past 7 years proves a fact that there is still an influential part inside the international community which lacks the will to fight terrorism.
“What is needed a true political will to combat terrorism and punish their supporters and financiers,” Al-Jaafari said at a UN meeting before the 6th Legal Committee on the measures to eliminate international terrorism (Agenda item No.109.)
He added that the governments which back terrorists still see the armed terrorist groups as a political, economic and military weapon that could be used to overthrow legitimate governments, destroy states and their capabilities, kill their citizens and displace them as refugees.
“Foreign terrorists have begun to flow to Syria through a firm and successive process in which many governments and intelligence apparatus were involved as they have issued tens of thousands of passports and visas to Syria and Iraq’s neighboring countries,” al-Jaafari said.
He affirmed that the weapon, training camps and operation rooms were ready in the neighboring countries of Syria and Iraq, waiting for the coming of those terrorists who were named then by the term “moderate armed opposition.”
Al-Jaafari went on to say that those camps and operation rooms were supervised by intelligence and military officers from states that were involved in the process of bringing terrorists and their arms into Syria.
He announced that Syria supports the efforts of the UN Secretary General to activate the role of the international organization in the domain of counter-terrorism.
