The Turkish regime-backed terrorist groups continue to illegally excavate archeological sites in Idleb southwestern countryside to steal Syrian antiquities and distort its historical places in a bid to eradicate Syria’s historical identity and cultural heritage.
Local and media sources said that the terrorists of the Turkish-affiliated Jabhat al-Nusra terror organization brought in excavation machines as well as tools to detect metal artifacts in Tal Ghannam archeological site in Jisr al-shughour area in the southwestern countryside of Idleb in order to carry out illegal excavations to steal Syrian antiquities and smuggle them to Turkey.
The sources added that the terrorists also kidnapped a number of civilians from the area and forced those civilians to assist them in finding out the artifacts and selling them to Turkish brokers so that the terrorists can fund their criminal activities. The illegal excavations in Tal Ghannam archeological site led to its destruction, the sources pointed out.
