After the United Nations and other countries found evidence
of North Korean involvement in Syria, the North Koreans denied sending military
aid to the Syrian government. North Korea said that the information leaked
about them was false. They had been accused of having helicopters operating in
Syrian territory as well as having artillery officers working with Syrian
government. North Korea also had links within the Syrian chemical weapons program;
however they are still claiming that they are not having any form of involvement
in the fight against the rebels. Turkey intercepted gas masks and weapons sent
from North Korea to Syria a few months ago. Even though North Korea has denied
this information, the United Nations is going to continue its monitoring of
North Korea due to these accusations along with the fact that they are known to
be strong allies with Syria.
Whether or not North Korea is truly involved with Syria in
helping them fight the rebels, North Korea has not had the most reputable reputation.
They have made open statements in the last few years regarding their possession
of chemical weapons. The United Nations may never know for sure what exactly North
Korea's involvement with Syria has been, and therefore they are only able to draw conclusions with
the information and facts that they do have. The United Nations just wants to
find a way to end the Civil War in Syria so that innocent people are not
continually killed. If North Korea is truly helping fight the rebels they are
only going to make it that much harder for the issues with Syria to ever be
truly put to rest.
