The Government of the Syrian Arab Republic once again entreats the Security Council to implement its resolutions on combating terrorism seriously and effectively, in particular resolutions 2170 (2014), 2178 (2014), 2199 (2015) and 2253 (2015), by compelling the regimes of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey to cease forthwith their support for armed terrorist groups and by holding the regimes in these States accountable for their crimes against the Syrian people.

I should be grateful if you would have the present letter issued as a document of the Security Council.
