Baklanov: Using water for political purposes is criminal and inhumane act

Moscow, SANA –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 thing is a criminal and inhumane act.

This came in a statement to Sputnik news agency on Tuesday regarding the Turkish regime’s persistence in cutting off water from more than a million Syrian citizens in Hasaka city and its vicinity for more than two weeks.

Baklanov said that what is happening in Hasaka 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.
