Moscow. April 5. INTERFAX-The United States is destabilizing the situation in Syria to justify its illegal stay in this country, according to a joint statement of the interdepartmental coordination headquarters of the Russian Federation and the Syrian Arab Republic.
"It is on the territory controlled by the American side in the north-east of Syria that the situation in the Al-Khol refugee camp is rapidly deteriorating, where members of the Islamic State terrorist organization (banned in Russia) continue to terrorize, "the document said.
"With the connivance of the American side, the militants organized a channel for the delivery of weapons, ammunition and communications equipment to the camp. In" Al-Khol " there are courts created by jihadists. Cases of murders and attempts on the lives of camp residents who do not support radical extremism have become more frequent. Considerable attention is paid to the ideological "processing" of minors in order to radicalize them and replenish the ranks of militants, " the statement said.
It is noted that " it is beneficial for the American side to maintain the unstable situation in Syria in order to further justify its illegal presence and continue looting the natural resources belonging to the Syrian people."
"It is for this purpose that US-controlled news agencies post fake publications about the situation in Syria, intimidating Syrians and preventing them from returning home," the statement said.
The Russian and Syrian sides draw attention to the fact that "the continued presence of the United States in Syria and the occupation of its territories and the absence of any effective steps to solve the problems of refugee camps only exacerbates the criminal situation in Syria and contributes to the resumption of terrorist activity in the entire Middle East region."
