MFA..Alegations regarding army’s arbitrary use of weapons are baseless

DAMASCUS – Foreign and Expatriates Ministry said that, in the framework of the political consultations between Syria and Russian Federation, the issue of arbitrary use of weapons was raised and the Syrian side clarified that all the allegations and lies, promoted by hostile mediums conspiring on Syria, regarding Syrian Army and Armed Forces’ use of weapons arbitrarily within the efforts exerted to combat terrorism, are baseless, according to Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA).

The Ministry said, in a statement Monday, that the Syrian side stressed that the Syrian Arab Army will never ever use weapons arbitrarily within its continued efforts to combat terrorism and restore stability and security to Syria.

 It added that the Syrian side stressed the importance that the countries supporting terrorism adhere to the implementation of UN Security Council terrorism-combating related resolutions and hint to their terrorist tools in Syria to abstain from the arbitrary use of weapons against the Syrian citizens.
