Al-Zou’bi: Syria to Go Ahead with War on Terrorism

DAMASCUS, (ST) – Syria will go ahead with its war on terrorism and it won’t allow the aggression, planned by Western states and some Arab countries, to achieve its goals through their agents and terrorist takfiri tools in the country, underscored Information Minister Omran al-Zou’bi.

During his meeting on Wednesday with Jordanian popular and parliamentary figures, visiting Damascus, al-Zou’bi said Syria is ready to fight back the aggression which comes in reaction to the failure of the conspirators’ scheme to target Damascus and because of the successful military operations by the Syrian Arab Army against the armed terrorist groups, particularly in eastern Ghouta.

“Allegations accusing the Syrian state of using chemical weapons are all untrue and based on fabricated videos,” the minister said, adding that the Syrian government will provide the international committee, tasked with investigating the possible use of chemical weapon, with clear-cut evidence that the foreign-backed terrorist groups have used the chemical weapon against the Syrian people and army personnel.

He affirmed that the Syrian Arab Army absolutely didn’t use such a weapon and that a number of soldiers were exposed to chemical attacks by the gunmen.

Commenting on the meeting of the chiefs of staff of 10 countries in Jordan to make a decision regarding the aggression on Syria, the minister said “it is inconsistent with good neighborhood relations, but Jordan’s announcement that it would not allow its territories to be used in any aggression against Syria is a normal stance.”

Al-Zou’bi hailed the Jordanian people’s rejection of the ongoing anti-Syria campaign and of the possible Western aggression Syria may be exposed to.

He stressed that the Western strike on Syria will cause dangerous repercussions that endanger the entire region.  

For their part, the guest delegation voiced the Jordanian people’s support to Syria in the confrontation of this aggression and affirmed their confidence that Syria’s steadfastness will not be broken, due to the strong cohesion between the Syrian people, army and leadership and due to the support of Syria’s real friends.
