  1. “In the light of everything I have just mentioned, Syria considers the Turkish regime to be a partner to the terrorists against Syria and an aggressor. We believe that we have a right to take all necessary actions to defend our sovereignty. The meeting rose at 7pm.”

  2. “Other violations being committed by the Turkish regime are no less dangerous than its military deployment. The Government of the Justice and Development Party of Turkey has appointed a Turkish governor to Afrin, and the Minister of the Interior of Turkey has appointed officials to the cities of Azaz, Jarabulus and Marea. The Turkish language has also been imposed on schools and educational curricula. Telecommunications towers have been built in Idlib. Syrian agricultural products such as olives are being stolen and sold by the Turkish regime at international markets around the world. Terrorists who support the Turkish regime are stealing artefacts from Ain Dara and other areas such as Afrin and its suburbs before being transported to Turkey.”

  3. “Despite the Turkish regime being one of the guarantors of the Astana process, Syria does not believe that it is earnestly implementing the agreements, which were designed to ensure the removal of terrorist groups, together with heavy and mid-sized weapons, from the region. On the contrary, the number ofterrorists in Idlib, especially foreigner terrorist fighters, has increased. The Turkish regime is not only financing and providing weapons to terrorist groups, such as the Al-Nusra Front and Hayat Tahrir Al- Sham, it is even carrying out direct military aggression exercises against Syria, with 10,655 soldiers and officers deployed on Syrian territory, as well as 166 tanks, 278 armoured vehicles, 18 rocket launchers, 73 mortars, 73 vehicles equipped with heavy machine guns and 41 anti-tank missile launchers.”

  4. “Moreover, with regard to the management of military operations, we wish to reaffirm the commitment of the Syrian Arab Army to the rules of international humanitarian law in the context of our counter- terrorism efforts, particularly with regard to the principle of proportionality, the distinction between civilian and military targets, precaution and the non-use of prohibited weapons. In the light of the fabricated allegations made by the representative of the Turkish regime, my delegation wishes to reiterate that the Turkish Government is a key partner of the armed terrorist groups currently deployed in Idlib.”

  5. “11/2013 allowed us to establish measures in line with our national efforts to help children recruited by armed terrorist groups with a view to saving them from exploitation by those groups and in order to ensure their rehabilitation and reintegration into society. Children are also covered under our Juvenile Act No. 18/1974, which is based primarily on corrective measures and includes procedural rules and special courts that treat children as victims, regardless of their actions. Our laws prioritize the best interests of children in terms of physical and psychological care as well as their rehabilitation and reintegration into society. All forms of physical abuse and sexual violence are punishable by severe penalties under criminal law.”

  6. “We wish to recall that on several occasions, we have asked the Special Representative to inform us in advance of the cases, names and details in the report so as to enable us to validate them and conduct our own investigations to verify whether they were true. However, she has ignored our request and insisted on her own perspective. We wish to remind the Special Representative that all relevant Syrian legislation is based on the principle of providing special protection to children, in line with the Syrian Constitution. That is also something we have repeatedly pointed out in response to her reports. With regard to the implementation of our legislative framework, Law No.”

  7. “The recent developments on the ground cited by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict in her latest briefing are characterized by several fallacies, most notably the erroneous legal perspective that the counter-terrorism operations being carried out by the Syrian Arab Army and its allies - which constitute a legitimate right under international law 4 are on an equal footing with the Turkish aggression and occupation of Syrian territory, which represent a clear Violation of international law, particularly in terms of the allegations of recruitment, detention and sexual violence. The Special Representative of the Secretary- General has once again sought to indict the Syrian Government in the face of those violations.”

  8. “Mr. Al Khalil (Syrian Arab Republic) (spoke in Arabic): The Syrian Arab Republic regrets the continued tendency of the Secretary-General's report (S/2019/509) to give primacy to political considerations over human rights issues, thereby failing to provide an objective perspective on the situation in the Syrian Arab Republic.”
