Speaker of the People’s Assembly, Hammouda Sabbagh sent 60 letters to the heads of Arab, regional and international parliamentary organizations, the UN Secretary-General and its High Commissioner for Human Rights, and a number of heads of parliaments of friendly and brotherly countries.
Sabbagh expressed, in his letters, the People’s Assembly’s condemnation of the ongoing heinous crime committed by the occupying Turkish regime and its mercenaries of cutting off the water of Alouk station, for several months, which is considered the main and only source of securing drinking water for more than a million of people in Hasaka city and its vicinity.
The Assembly’s Speaker condemned the Turkish regime aggressive and provocative practices and behaviors, by using water as a weapon of war against safe Syrian civilians, as “crimes against humanity” which violate all ethical, social, cultural and human standards, as severely violate all international conventions, laws, norms and resolutions.
He added that these practices are considered as a flagrant attack on the UN Charter, the essence and content of international humanitarian law and the charter of human rights
He called upon them to assume their full ethical, legal and humanitarian responsibilities and duties towards what is happening in Hasaka city and its surroundings and the suffering of the safe people, especially in light of the unprecedented rise of temperatures in Hasaka province, in addition to the spread of many diseases and epidemics due to the severe shortage of water, especially drinking water.
Sabbagh called on the heads of Arab, regional and international parliamentary organizations, the UN Secretary-General and its High Commissioner for Human Rights, and the heads of parliaments of friendly and brotherly countries to condemn the illegal and immoral behaviors of the Turkish regime and to exercise all forms of pressure on it and its mercenaries in the region to stop these arbitrary and inhuman measures and to re-operate Alouk station immediately with its highest capacity.
