Foreign Ministry: Washington’s theft of Syrian oil is piracy, return to colonial era

Damascus, SANA-Foreign and Expatriates Ministry said on Saturday that the US should immediately withdraw its illegitimate forces from the Syrian territories, and stop its support to mercenaries, terrorists and separatist militias.

“The US continued low policy, represented by the plundering of Syrian oil through the Syrian-Iraqi borders and transporting it to northern Iraq, is a piracy and an attempt to return to the colonial era,” Foreign Ministry said on its Twitter website.

It added that Syria, while reminding that those practices contradict with the international law and UN convention,  calls on the UNSC to condemn those acts and put an end to them.
