Foreign Ministry: 1000 Factories in Aleppo Were Robbed and Transferred to Turkey with Its Government's Full Knowledge​

The Foreign and Expatriates Ministry stressed that the robbery of a thousand factories in Aleppo and their transfer to Turkey with the knowledge and facilitation of the Turkish government is considered "an illegal act that amounts to piracy".

The Ministry's stress came in two identical letters it addressed on Thursday to the Chairman of the UN Security Council and the UN Secretary General on the robbery of these factories and the transfer of the properties to Turkey with its government's full knowledge.

The Ministry described the robbery and transfer as "an act of aggression" that targets the Syrians in their sources of living and economic life.

"This act indicates once again the Turkish ambitions and the sabotage role Turkey is playing in the crisis in Syria, and reveals as well its intentions towards the Syrian people," said the letters, adding that this act also "affirms [Turkey's] false claims in caring for the Syrians' life and the major requirements of their living."

The Ministry slammed these practices as "immoral" as they "constitute a flagrant violation of the principles of good neighborliness and non-interference in the countries' internal affairs".


"[These practices] are a direct contribution in a cross-border crime and acts of piracy, which demands an international reaction that should be up to the wide scale of damage caused to the Syrian people and their economic and commercial capabilities," the letters added.


The Ministry reaffirmed that a reaction is demanded by the Security Council that should be up to the responsibilities and the obligations it assumes in the field of combating terrorism and maintaining international security and peace.

Such a reaction is necessitated, the Ministry stressed, in light of the support given by a neighboring country like Turkey to terrorism and the providing of helping conditions for looting Syria's resources across the border and destroying the Syrians' capabilities and sources of living, in addition to facilitating the exploitation of these capabilities for the sake of backing terrorism inside Syria.

The Ministry demanded that the UN Security Council and the UN Secretary General "issue a clear condemnation of these acts of sabotage and terrorism and take necessary measures to hold to account their perpetrators and the regional and international countries and forces standing behind them."

This condemnation, the letters said, is supposed to "reflect the international organization's rejection of any additional contribution by the countries that are hostile towards Syria to further aggravate the living conditions of the Syrian people and increase their humanitarian suffering."

The Foreign and Expatriates Ministry called for taking all legal measures against the Turkish government to compel it to give back the stolen properties to their owners and pay all compensations to the affected according to the relevant enforced rules of the international law, in addition to getting it to immediately stop repeating such practices now and in the future.

and any problem ?

 

[what]

I somehow doubt that we have to loot Syrian factories for not-so-high-tech equipment.

 

[atatwolf]

Good news. This how Syrian regime will pay back Turkey. Turkey is hosting thousands of Syrian families that fled from the dictator Assad and his bloody hands.

 

[somebozo]

What were Syrian border guards and police doing? Taking a cut from the loot?
The world knows how inevitably corrupt Syria is!

The Syrians are claiming that Turkey is stealing their factories?! A factory can be subjected to sabotage, to burglary even to outright destruction but how does one "steal and transfer" a single factory leave alone multiple factories? A factory isn't exactly something that you can load up on a truck and just vanish with. Even if one could dissemble the machines and equipment present within a factory to aid in their "transfer" such an operation would require at least a day or two unless the factories in question are the size of winnebagos. Such claims sound patently absurd not to mention being in a state of civil war and all shouldn't Syria be doubly vigilant along its borders? Surely the Syrian establishment can frame better allegations which are more suited for whatever purposes being pursued by said establishment? Lastly, Turkey happens to be a respectable country as far as the global community is concerned- its going to be nigh impossible for a government currently engaged in massacring its own civilian populace to malign Turkey's global and regional standing. In short, if you really must go down this path- GET SMART AND TRY HARDER Assad! Furthermore, perhaps something has been lost in translation in the above quoted article, even if we are talking of straight forward robbery of machines and stocks rather than a whole factory even then the logistics of such an operation are mind boggling. Its difficult to imagine anyone short of the Turkish army having the manpower and resources required to meet such logistical requirements. So are the Syrians now claiming that the Turkish forces are engaging actively in acts of burglary?

Wow you are a joke...
Syria is saying the Turkey is stealing the machines not the buildings........
and the FSA is taking those machines and giving them to Turkey....

I somehow doubt that we have to loot Syrian factories for not-so-high-tech equipment.

I think most machines came from Turkey...

Did you not read the last part of my post or are we simply dealing with an inability to comprehend what has been posted by me? Let me reiterate, "Furthermore, perhaps something has been lost in translation in the above quoted article, even if we are talking of straight forward robbery of machines and stocks rather than a whole factory even then the logistics of such an operation are mind boggling. Its difficult to imagine anyone short of the Turkish army having the manpower and resources required to meet such logistical requirements. So are the Syrians now claiming that the Turkish forces are engaging actively in acts of burglary?", that is how I ended my post. The article you quoted to start this thread carries the following title "Foreign Ministry: 1000 Factories in Aleppo Were Robbed and Transferred to Turkey with Its Government's Full Knowledge". Ergo I tailored my post to address both possibilities.

Now even as I stated earlier, if it is just machines which are being stolen then what are your border guards doing? They could at least open fire on these burglars, no? They may not succeed in stopping "Turkey's nefarious plans" but they can at least do their duties and embrace martyrdom in the process, no? If your border guards are so ineffective and/or are simply not present at the borders then my man you have bigger things to worry about before you whine about stolen machinery.

Oh and didn't the rebels recently take control of a Syrian airfield? BBC News - Rebels 'take control of key north Syria airbase'. Seems like the Civil war isn't going too well for you guys. Let the Assad regime take care of itself rather than make baseless accusations against Turkey.

What Syria is saying that Turkey knows about these illegal entries of the machines to Turkey... Why does turkey allows stolen goods to be in its factories and such?? that means Turkey approves stolen machines to be operated in Turkey...

And do you really think that those thiefs will you go through legally ? you heard of something called smuggling? do you know how large Syrian-Turkish border is? Turkey is giving those terrorists support and they let them smuggle...

and about the airbase... this is the 6th time they have said they have captured it, we shall see...

Funny news, does Turkey need Syria's scraps? I dont think so..

lol funny person.. most of "scraps" you are talking about were bought from Turkey...

plus go educate yourself, and see that Syria exports many things to other countries, including Europe before the sanctions...

 

[mehmeTcc]

So Syrian Lion, as you said, most of the industrial machinery Syria has (or had, according to you) is coming from Turkey. Why should Turkey stole the things he produced?
