New
York, 3 October 2012
Excellency,
I
would like to bring to your kind attention that the Syrian armed
forces today shelled the town of Akcakale, situated at the
Turkish-Syrian border, which resulted in the deaths of five Turkish
civilians, all of whom were women and children, as well as a number
of serious injuries.
This
is an act of aggression by Syria against Turkey. It constitutes a
flagrant violation of international law as wall as a breach of
international peace and security.
Turkey
calls for an immediate end to such unacceptable violations.
Turkey
kindly requests from the Security Council to take necessary action to
put an end to such acts of aggression and to ensure that Syria
respects Turkey’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and security.
I
shall be grateful if the text of the present latter could be brought
to the attention of the Security Council and be circulated as a
document of the Council.
Please
accept: Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration.
Ertugrul
Apakan
Ambassador
Permanent
Representative.
