Russia FM says Syria-bound humanitarian aid convoys from Turkey deliver arms to militants

 Humanitarian aid convoys bound for Syria from Turkey are supplying arms to militants, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said at the High Level Segment of the UN Human Rights Council session on Tuesday.

"A special task is to cut short terrorists’ supplies from outside, for which purpose it is necessary to close the border of Syria with Turkey, through which arms are being supplied to gunmen, including in convoys with humanitarian aid while the journalists who have reported about this are put on trial and sentenced to many years in prison," Lavrov said.

"Incidentally, this is about the freedom of speech," the Russian foreign minister added.
