Presidential Political and Media Advisor Dr. Bouthania Sha’aban has said that the US-Zionist plot targets the region and its armies, stressing that Syria is exiting the tunnel.
In an interview with the Beirut-based al-Mayadeen TV channel, Sha’aban said that Israel has the upper hand in supporting terrorism in Syria and there is no change in Turkey’s attitude towards Syria.
More than 100 factories in Aleppo were dismantled and smuggled to Turkey, she said, describing what is going on as ‘Turkish aggression on Syria’.
“Turkey’s profits of the war on Syria reached up to USD 30 billion in three years,” Sha’aban disclosed.
60.000 Arab and foreign fighters in Syria
The Advisor, in addition, clarified that the US-led coalition informs Syrian army before its warplanes enter the Syrian airspace, indicating that 60.000 Arab and foreign fighters are fighting in Syria against the state.
“We have rejected security cooperation with foreign governments without political cooperation,” she added, asserting that the former US president Jimmy Carter asked the US administration to contact with the Syrian government.
Moscow meeting
She pointed out that Washington has not commented on the forthcoming consultation meeting to be held in Moscow between Syrian government and opposition because it wants to see what Russia will do in this regard.
“Moscow meeting is a preliminary consultative meeting to discuss the bases for holding dialogue,” Sha’aban declared, confirming that the Syrian government is now more comfortable at all levels.
As for the opposition member Louay Hussien, the advisor said that he was arrested for criminal reason and not because he is a political opposition figure.
Regarding Syrian-Egyptian relations, Sha’aban labeled the relation as friendly, noting that Imad al-Assad’s visit to Cairo was personal and not political.
