Syria: Turkey prevents employees of the "interim" and "rescue" government from enjoying their salaries for more than 3 months

Turkey has prevented employees of the "interim" and "rescue" governments from receiving their salaries from their supporting countries for the third month in a row, despite the appeals against it on the grounds of the collapse of their currency to a record level that has not been reached before.

Employees of the local councils, some of which are overseen by the "interim" government of the Syrian opposition coalition, and others by the "rescue" government of the Syrian Liberation Organization, led by the “Nasra Front”, told the local media sources that the promises of the Turkish government to arrest them before Eid al-Fitr was in vain after non-paying them during the past three months.

The employees explained that their given salaries by the supporting countries such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar and some European countries are in the form of gifts, are being settled in Turkish banks before being transferred by private accountants to the councils and institutions and service companies, , "but Turkey has retained our funds and refused to deliver them, despite the intervention of intermediaries, for accountants with the aim of paying the employees, who have been exhausted by the pressure of expenses because of the very high prices, especially with the rents of homes after the arrival of migrants from the other provinces, according to the employees.

Many people considered Turkey's reluctance to transfer large sums of money transferred to the employees was because of the actions of the Central Bank to increase its assets of hard currency, especially the US dollar, and noted that they agreed to receive their salaries in Turkish lira under the new resolutions of Ankara to stop the collapse of the official currency.
