Moscow, SANA-Supplying terrorists in Syria with cash, arms, training and havens is unacceptable, in the words of the Russian Foreign Ministry, which reiterated Moscow’s condemnation of the crimes of extremists in Syria.
The ministry said, in a statement issued on Monday, that armed terrorist groups continue to mount deadly attacks against civilians in all Syrian areas.
Russia resolutely condemns the crimes of extremists in Syria and elsewhere in the Middle East and hopes the international community won’t leave these gruesome acts pass unevaluated, the statement added.
In a similar statement earlier this month, the Russian Foreign Ministry urged the international community to offer an objective assessment of the dire events rocking Syria and Iraq.
Reiterating Russia’s call for its partners worldwide to unify efforts to counter terrorist challenges sweeping the entire world, the statement warned that terrorist groups in Syria continue to unleash barbaric crimes against civilians who decline to be governed by “medieval laws.”
As a case in point, the statement cited the July 9 massacre that terrorists perpetrated in Khattab village in rural Hama, saying terrorists attacked the village and beheaded 14 people, among them women and girls, even though the area had no military presence or economic targets that might have incurred the attacks of the “armed opposition.”
A similar carnage came hot on the heels of the first one and was committed on July 10 in Takssis town where terrorists slaughtered three women while the fourth lay in a critical condition, the statement reminded, referring to non-stop salvos of indiscriminate mortars pounding residential areas in Syria.
“Peaceful civilians in areas where terrorists are on a rampage are subject to arbitrary arrests, torture and harsh executions, including even crucifixion, and imposing strictures on daily lives that go against local traditions, which is being played out in a blatant way especially during [the fasting month of] Ramadan,” the statement concluded.
