“The basic principle of all UN relevant resolutions on Syria called for respecting its sovereignty and territorial integrity, and it is the criterion for any approach to the political and humanitarian situation, Sabbagh added at a UN Security Council session on the political and humanitarian situation in Syria.
He stressed that any illegitimate military existence on Syrian territories is a violation of the UN Charter and breach to the international law.
“Syria rejects the White House declaration on extending the so-called -the National Emergency with Respect to the Situation in and in Relation to Syria- and The Foreign Ministry statement of the Turkish regime about the declaration as they are released by two sides that violate the Charter of the United Nations and international law,” Sabbagh said.
