TEHRAN, Jan 29 (NNN-IRNA) – Latest violence in Syria’s north-eastern province of Hasakah is a warning sign of re-emerging dangers of the Daesh terrorists in the country, Iran’s deputy permanent representative to the United Nations (UN), warned.
Referring to the recent attack by the Daesh militants on the Kurdish-run Ghwayran jail in Hasakah, Zahra Ershadi described the event as a wake-up call, that once again showed “the foreign-sponsored Takfiri terrorists” remain a significant threat to regional security and stability, the state TV reported, yesterday.
Hasakah violence also showed that foreign forces in Syria are not able to ensure security and order, while the Daesh expanded its influence and endangers the lives of the local population, she said.
The fight against terrorism should not be an excuse to violate Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity by the presence of “foreign occupiers” in the Arab country, she stressed.
The Iranian envoy further urged the UN and its humanitarian agencies, to enhance their assistance to the whole of Syria through “early recovery and resilience projects.”
“Serious efforts are needed to remove unilateral sanctions imposed on Syria. Those unlawful measures have prolonged the sufferings of the people and adversely affected the work of international and national humanitarian agencies there,” she noted.
Ershadi made the remarks at a UN Security Council session in New York on Thursday, said the report.– NNN-IRNA
