The Syrian envoy to the United Nations has welcomed an anti-ISIL resolution, saying if the Takfiri militants’ assaults were not ignored, they would not be wreaking havoc in the region now.
Bashar al-Ja’afari reiterated Damascus’ stance on terrorism, saying the Syrian government is a "necessary partner in the fight against terrorism."
“For more than three years Syria has been engaged in a very difficult war on behalf of all humankind against terrorist organizations,” during which “the government of Syria has tried to do its utmost to attract the attention of the member states of this organization to the threats facing the region and the world.”
“I would like to know why the member states of the Security Council have not responded to our repeated complaints for more than three years,” he said.
The Syrian ambassador’s remarks came after the UN Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution against the ISIL Takfiri militants in Syria and Iraq.
The 15-member world body called for action against the terrorists, who, it said must "disarm and disband with immediate effect."
ISIL terrorists are currently in control of several oil fields in Iraq and Syria.
Iraq, which has the world’s fifth-biggest crude reserves, came under a massive blitz by the ISIL Takfiri militants in June.
Syria has also been gripped by deadly violence since 2011.
More than 170,000 people have been killed and millions displaced due to the violence fueled by the Western-backed militants.
The Western powers and their regional allies -- especially Qatar, Saudi Arabia and, Turkey -- are reportedly supporting the militants operating inside Syria.
