"Such evaluations do not have any legal basis… Such statements are groundless," Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said during a briefing on Thursday, adding that the representatives of the Syrian government are members of the UN and represent the country's government in the UN Security Council.
The statement was made after on December 27, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called his Syrian counterpart "definitely a terrorist who has carried out state terrorism" during a meeting with Tunisian president Beji Caid Essebsi, adding that "it is impossible to continue with him", claiming that Assad had allegedly killed about a million of Syrian citizens.
The Syrian Foreign Ministry responded to these claims by saying that Erdogan was deceiving the public opinion in Turkey by claiming that Assad should not remain in power, adding that Ankara's policy "causes catastrophic consequences" for both countries. The Syrian president has repeatedly denied all allegations of targeting civilians.

Moskau hat auf die Worte des türkischen Präsidenten Recep Tayyip Erdogan reagiert, der zuvor seinen syrischen Amtskollegen Baschar al-Assad als Terroristen bezeichnet hatte. Laut der Sprecherin des russischen Außenministeriums Maria Sacharowa entbehrt diese Erklärung jeglicher rechtlichen Grundlage.
ReplyDelete„Man kann beliebig viel über die Fehler des syrischen Regimes diskutieren, solche Einschätzungen sind jedoch durch keine rechtliche Grundlage untermauert. Ich werde den moralischen Aspekt jetzt nicht ansprechen, aber rechtlich gesehen sind solche Äußerungen haltlos“, sagte Sacharowa bei einem Briefing am Donnerstag.
