Turkey Sounds the Alarm as Russia, Cyprus Enable Mass Atrocities in Syria
Washington, DC – A Turkish Foreign Ministry official claimed Thursday that a Russian ship thought to be carrying ammunition has reached Syria by way of Cyprus, violating the European Union arms embargo. The Turkish official noted that the ship, owned and operated by St. Petersburg-based Westberg Ltd., was able to enter Cyprus, where it docked and refueled and was allowed to continue its passage to Syria without adequate inspection for weapons, ammunition or other supplies that would contravene the embargo and facilitate the perpetration of violence.
