DAMASCUS, Dec 28 (NNN-SANA) – The United States is stealing natural resources from Syria, and imposing illegitimate sanctions, Syria’s Foreign Minister, Faisal Mekdad, said in an interview, aired late yesterday.
The U.S. forces, with the help of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) militia, continue to steal the Syrian oil, wheat, and cotton, Mekdad told the national TV.
He said, the SDF, with the assistance of the U.S. forces, is holding 60,000 people, in the al-Hol refugee camp, in north-eastern Syria, noting that, the SDF is stealing the aid, that is sent to the refugees.
Meanwhile, Mekdad claimed that, U.S. sanctions against Syria are “illegitimate,” and aimed at destabilising the country.
