DAMASCUS, (ST)- Minister of Information Mohammad Ramez Turjman has stressed that the new American aggression on Syria is an attempt to support terrorism and it comes after the huge loss inflicted upon terrorists under the strikes of the Syrian Arab army in different Syrian areas.
In a statement to the Syrian TV on Friday, Turjman said the pretext used by the United States to justify its aggression on Syria, which is the alleged using of chemical weapons, is a “very ridiculous play”, reiterating that the aggression won’t weaken the determination of the Syrian Arab Army to continue carrying out its duty in fighting and eliminating terrorism.
The minister pointed out that the American aggression came after the Syrian Arab army’s remarkable victories in its war on terrorism, after the achievement of local reconciliation in several Syrian areas and the progress in the political track to find settlement in the country.
He clarified that the United States is practicing its arrogance in blatant violation of international laws and conventions.
The General Command of the Syrian Arab Army and Armed Forces declared that the United States carried a flagrant aggression at dawn today against a Syrian military Airbase in the central region of Syria causing the martyrdom of 6 persons , injuring scores and inflicting heavy material damage in the targeted site.
