nUSANTARa - China akan membantu daripada kerajaan Syria dalam memerangi Negara Islam (IS, yang sebelum ini ISIL/ISIS) dengan menghantar "penasihat tentera," tuntut laporan media.

"Orang Cina akan tiba pada minggu-minggu akan datang," kata seorang pegawai tentera Syria memberitahu laman web berita yang berpangkalan di Lubnan Al-Masdar Al-Arabi.

Laporan itu mendakwa bahawa sebuah kapal tentera laut China adalah dalam perjalanan ke Syria dengan berpuluh-puluh "penasihat tentera" di atas kapal. Mereka dilaporkan akan diikuti oleh tentera.

Kapal itu dikatakan telah meninggal Terusan Suez di Mesir dan membuat jalan melalui Laut Mediterranean.

Menurut laman web itu, penasihat akan menyertai kakitangan Rusia di rantau Latakia itu.

Sementara itu, laman web berita tentera Israel, ‘DEBKAfile’, telah memetik sumber tentera sebagai berkata bahawa pengangkut pesawat China, Liaoning-CV-16, telah dikesan di pelabuhan Syria Tartus di pantai Mediterranean. Ia dikatakan akan disertai dengan cruiser peluru berpandu.

Berita itu datang selepas Rusia, Iran, Iraq dan Syria bersetuju untuk menubuhkan sebuah pusat maklumat bersama di Baghdad untuk menyelaraskan operasi mereka terhadap militan Negara Islam, menurut sumber-sumber.

"Matlamat utama pusat ini akan mengumpul, memproses dan menganalisis maklumat terkini mengenai keadaan di Timur Tengah - terutamanya untuk pertempuran IS," kata sumber tentera-diplomatik kepada agensi berita Rusia, Sabtu lalu.

Presiden Rusia Vladimir Putin baru-baru ini ditanya mengenai kehadiran Rusia di Syria, yang dia menjawab bahawa aktiviti Rusia adalah terhad kepada membekalkan senjata kepada kerajaan Syria, latihan kakitangan dan menyediakan bantuan kemanusiaan kepada rakyat Syria.

"Kami bertindak berdasarkan Piagam Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu, iaitu prinsip-prinsip asas undang-undang antarabangsa moden, mengikut yang ini atau yang berjenis bantuan, termasuk bantuan tentera, boleh dan mesti disediakan secara eksklusif kepada kerajaan yang sah sesebuah negara atau yang lain, apabila persetujuan atau permintaan, atau atas keputusan Majlis Keselamatan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu, "Putin memberitahu rancangan CBS '60 Minutes '.

Putin mengulangi sokongannya kepada tentera Syria biasa - tentera Presiden Bashar Assad. "Dia [Assad] berhadapan dengan apa yang beberapa rakan antarabangsa kami mentafsirkan sebagai pembangkang. Pada hakikatnya, tentera Assad adalah memerangi organisasi pengganas, "kata Putin.

Presiden Rusia berkata bahawa Amerika Syarikat cuba untuk melatih pembangkang Syria untuk mengambil Negara Islam telah gagal. Amerika Syarikat telah bertujuan untuk menyediakan sehingga 12,000 pejuang, tetapi hanya 60 berjaya menamatkan latihan dan hanya 4 atau 5 sebenarnya berjuang dengan pembangkang, manakala yang lain melarikan diri ke IS dengan senjata Amerika, Putin berkata, memetik pendengaran Senat Amerika Syarikat.

"Pada pendapat saya, penyediaan sokongan ketenteraan kepada struktur haram bertentangan dengan prinsip-prinsip undang-undang antarabangsa moden dan Piagam Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu," kata beliau.

Kembali pada bulan Disember 2014, China telah menawarkan untuk membantu Iraq dalam memerangi militan Negara Islam, sukarela untuk membantu dengan serangan udara, tetapi berkata ia tidak akan menyertai gabungan yang diketuai Amerika Syarikat terhadap ISIS.

Dalam salah satu kekejaman terkini yang dilakukan oleh IS, kumpulan pengganas yang menggunakan majalah dalam talian untuk hantar gambar-gambar 2 tebusan, satu Norway dan seorang Cina, meletakkan orang-orang atas "untuk dijual."

China’s military advisers ‘heading to Syria 
to help fight ISIS’ – report

China will be helping out the Syrian government in the fight against Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIL/ISIS) by sending “military advisers,” media reports have claimed.

“The Chinese will be arriving in the coming weeks,” a Syrian army official told the Lebanon-based news website Al-Masdar Al-‘Arabi. 

The report claims that a Chinese naval vessel is on its way to Syria with dozens of “military advisers” on board. They will reportedly be followed by troops.

The ship is said to have passed the Suez Canal in Egypt and be making its way through the Mediterranean Sea.

According to the website, the advisers will be joining Russian personnel in the Latakia region.

Meanwhile, an Israeli military news website, DEBKAfile, has cited military sources as saying that a Chinese aircraft carrier, the Liaoning-CV-16, has already been spotted at the Syrian port of Tartus on the Mediterranean coast. It was said to be accompanied by a guided missile cruiser. 

The news comes after Russia, Iran, Iraq and Syria agreed to establish a joint information center in Baghdad to coordinate their operations against Islamic State militants, according to sources.

“The main goal of the center will be gathering, processing and analyzing current information about the situation in the Middle East – primarily for fighting IS,” a military-diplomatic source told Russian news agencies on Saturday.

Russian President Vladimir Putin was recently asked about Russia’s presence in Syria, to which he replied that Russia’s activities are limited to supplying weapons to the Syrian government, training personnel and providing humanitarian aid for the Syrian people.

“We act based on the United Nations Charter, i.e. the fundamental principles of modern international law, according to which this or that type of aid, including military assistance, can and must be provided exclusively to the legitimate government of one country or another, upon its consent or request, or upon the decision of the United Nations Security Council,” Putin told CBS’s ‘60 Minutes’ show.

Putin reiterated his support for Syria’s regular army – the army of President Bashar Assad. “He [Assad] is confronted with what some of our international partners interpret as an opposition. In reality, Assad’s army is fighting against terrorist organizations,” Putin said.

Russia’s president added that US attempts to train a Syrian opposition to take on Islamic State have failed. The US had aimed to prepare up to 12,000 fighters, but only 60 managed to complete the training and only four or five actually fought with the opposition, while others fled to IS with American weapons, Putin said, citing US Senate hearings.

“In my opinion, provision of military support to illegal structures runs counter to the principles of modern international law and the United Nations Charter,” he said.

Back in December, 2014, China offered to help Iraq in fighting Islamic State militants, volunteering to assist with airstrikes, but said it would not join the US-led coalition against ISIS. 

In one of the latest atrocities committed by IS, the terror group used an online magazine to post pictures of two hostages, one Norwegian and one Chinese, putting the men up “for sale.”
