Damascus, SANA – The People’s Assembly saluted the achievements made by the Syrian Arab Army in facing the armed terrorist organizations, mainly the recent victory over the terrorists in the eastern parts of Damascus.
During the 16th session of the second ordinary round of the 2nd legislative term, Speaker Hadiyeh Abbas delivered a statement in which she said “the successive attacks launched by terrorists upon orders from and coordination with the Israeli occupation entity were responded to by the Syrian Arab Army forcefully and decisively.”
She affirmed that Damascus will always be protected by very brave men who will fend off terrorism against it just as they have fended if off against Aleppo, Homs, Palmyra and Hama, referring to the brave personnel of the Syrian army.
The speaker pointed out that all what is going on in the battlefield and on the political level is in favor of the Syrian people, state and army.
Abbas condemned the intervention of the United States and Turkey in northern Syrian through the presence of military forces of these two countries on Syrian territory under the pretext of fighting terrorism and without coordination with the Syrian government.
“We consider the presence of such forces illegal and a blatant violation of the sovereignty of the Syrian Arab Republic and a flagrant breach of the international laws and norms which regulate relations between states,” she said.
She pointed out that the Assembly will send letters to international and regional parliamentary organizations to explain the risk of these interventions on the unity and safety of the Syrian territory as well as the threat they pose to the ongoing talks aimed at reaching a political solution to the crisis in Syria.
