ISESCO Calls on Int'l Community to Save Syrian Aleppo From Destruction
The Islamic Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ISESCO) issued a statement calling on the international community to take immediate measures to save the northern Syrian city of Aleppo from deliberate and complete destruction.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — According to the statement, Aleppo is the capital of Islamic culture, because of its historical value, as well as because of city's scientific, cultural and archaeological heritage.
"The world has not seen anything like to what Aleppo has been exposed, in particular, the mass destruction of humans and infrastructure, which is an unprecedented humanitarian, environmental and architectural disaster in modern history," ISESCO said in the statement published on its website on Monday.
Syria has been mired in civil war since 2011, with government forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar Assad fighting numerous opposition factions and extremist groups.
Over the recent weeks, the situation in Aleppo and its neighborhoods has deteriorated, as various militant groups, including the al-Nusra Front, which is outlawed in Russia and many other countries, have been shelling the city in an attempt to counter the Syrian army and the Kurdish militants.
