The head of the International Affairs Department at the Federation Council of the Russian Federal Assembly, Andrey Baklanov, affirmed that drinking water mustn’t be used as a weapon to achieve political purposes because such a act is criminal and inhumane.
This came in a statement to Sputnik news agency on Tuesday and in reference to the Turkish regime’s persistence in cutting off water from more than a million Syrian citizens in Hassakeh city and its vicinity, which they have been doing for more than two weeks.
Baklanov said that what is happening in Hassakeh is a source of great concern as the situation is difficult, unacceptable, and contradicts UN resolutions.
He noted that Russia will exert all possible efforts to resolve this situation.
