Arab League censures Turkey’s meddling in Syria, Iraq affairs
The Arab League (AL) has denounced Turkey’s interference in the affairs of Syria and Iraq, stressing that the Turkish government’s support for terrorists has now backfired.
Ahmed Aboul Gheit, the secretary general of the 22-member pan-Arab body, accused Turkey of having allowed the deployment of thousands of Western youths to Syria to carry out terrorist acts, Egypt's Youm7 website reported on Tuesday.
Turkey backed Daesh in a bid to overthrow the Syrian government, but the Takfiri terrorist group acted against its sponsor, Aboul Gheit said, adding that Turkey was not aware that terrorism would backfire on it.
Daesh is declining and will soon be defeated, but its ideology and lower-ranking elements may last for years, the official further noted.
Elsewhere in his comments, Aboul Gheit said Daesh has at its disposal the equipment required to extract oil, adding that the Takfiri group produces some 10,000 barrels of oil per day and sends them to Turkey for sale.
