Syria has accused Turkey of ‘economic terrorism.’ Ankara has used the “suffering of the Syrian people for piracy” and stolen from Aleppo almost 1.5 thousand units of pharmaceutical and industrial equipment, said Syria’s permanent UN representative Bashar Jaafari.

According to him, “these criminal acts directed against factors of development and welfare of the Syrian people ought to be duly condemned.”

The diplomat expressed confidence that the UN Security Council should urge Turkey to “return the stolen property” and pay compensation.
