  1. “In that regard, I fully endorse Foreign Minister Lavrov's comments on the launch of military action against terrorism in Syria, at Syria's request and again in coordination with the Government. Syria will continue its fight against the terrorism represented by Daesh, the Al-Nusra Front and other Al-Qaida affiliates, regardless of the price we may have to pay. I would like to urge the Council to fight on the side of truth and implement its resolutions so that we can put an end to the influx of terrorists coming to Syria to build what they call a caliphate. That caliphate will not end at the borders of Iraq or Syria. The leaders of the movement have stated clearly that they want to conquer Mecca and the whole of Europe. If we do not confront them, their atrocious crimes will not emd at the borders of Iraq, Syria or Libya.”

  2. “Such sentiments are inappropriate and should be considered unworthy of a permanent member of the Security Council. The international community is already aware of the destructive role that France has played in Libya. On the other hand, we strongly endorse the initiative of President Putin, who has called for the creation of a regional and international coalition to fight terrorism, as personified by Daesh and the Al-Nusra Front, in order to put an end to the very existence of those groups, with, of course Syria's essential participation. We urge the countries of the region to comply with the Security Council's resolutions on combating terrorism, in a preventive, defensive role, and to join with this coalition.”

  3. “Those countries include, in particular, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other Western countries well known to the Council. Those who really do want to fight terrorism in Syria should coordinate and cooperate their efforts with the Government of Syria, whose army and military are fighting terrorism and doing their duty by protecting the people against the terrorist groups. The actions of the United Kingdom and France in Syrian air space are contrary to the Charter of the United Nations and international law, as well as a flagrant violation of Syria's national sovereignty. Those who genuinely wish to combat terrorism must coordinate their efforts with the Syrian Government. What we heard today from the representative of France clearly illustrates the true role that France has played in supporting terrorism.”

  4. “They are more powerful, brutal and cruel and they are better armed. Let us review what some of the permanent members of the Council have done in that regard, in leading an international coalition. What has that coalition achieved, one year after it was formed and close to a year since it began its air strikes, which we have heard about but whose results have not really been apparent? The answer is that those countries are conducting their actions in the name of a strategy that is supposedly aimed at destroying Daesh in Iraq and Syria. But its real aim is quite different, and the evidence for that is that these organizations have become stronger. They are better financed and armed and, as I have already said, more brutal than ever. The countries that support and finance those groups have continued to finance, protect and support them.”

  5. “What has the Council done to implement its resolutions, especially resolutions 2170 (2014), 2178 (2014) and 2199 (2015), so as to help our people, who are paying a high price with their own lives and through the destruction of their heritage? What has the Council done for the men, women and children suffering from terrorism in Syria? What has it done to stop the countries that are supporting terrorism and facilitating the members of Daesh, Al-Nusra and other armed groups affiliated with Al-Qaida, which are committing atrocious crimes in Syria and Iraq? If we compare the current situation of those groups to what it was before those resolutions were adopted, I think we would be right in asking whether the resolutions have constrained their actions in any way. And the answer to that is no. In fact, these armed groups have been strengthened.”

  6. “Mr. Al-Moualem (Syrian Arab Republic) (spoke in Arabic): I would like to commend you, Sir, on convening this meeting of the Security Council on the maintenance of international peace and security under the theme "Settlement of conflicts in the Middle East and North Africa and countering the terrorist threat in the region". The Charter of the United Nations confers upon the Security Council the primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security. What has the Council done to combat terrorism, which is seen in Syria and Iraq and now is spreading to other countries of the world?”
