MOSCOW-Hungary’s Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto has criticized US airstrikes against ISIL for failing to effectively eliminate the terrorists, according to Sputnik news agency.
The Hungarian minister on Saturday called on a US-led coalition against the ISIL terrorist organization to join efforts with Moscow to effectively resolve the long-standing terrorist war waged on Syria. He also urged a solution to the immigrant crisis in Europe by international cooperation to attain peace in Syria.
“We have to create stability in the Middle East and North Africa region. And the major issue is to make peace in Syria. There’s going to be no forward progress, no possibility to resolve the crisis in Syria, unless there is an agreement and pragmatic cooperation between the Transatlantic Community and Russia,” Szijjarto said in his address to the UN General Assembly.
According to Szijjarto, the US-led coalition of over 60 states, which has been conducting airstrikes in Syria against ISIL terrorists without seeking the approval of Damascus since 2014, has not shown enough sufficiency.
Russia launched precision airstrikes on ISIL positions in Syria at the request of President Bashar Al-Assad on Wednesday.
