DAMASCUS, (ST) –”Syria is defending its people against the armed terrorist attacks and the terrorists who come from several countries, “said Deputy Prime Minister, Foreign and Expatriates Minister, Walid al-Moallem.

Al-Moallem  remarks came during a meeting with Commissioner-General of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) Filippo Grandi on Wednesday.

“Syria will spare no effort to provide the UNRWA with all facilities, “stressed al- Moallem.

Al-Moallem briefed Grandi on the conspiracy hatched against Syria, indicating that the armed terrorist groups are destroying the infrastructure of the Syrian economy, terrifying civilians, killing them and committing crimes against them in line with the war they waged against the Syrian Arab Army.
