Syria government is stronger now, British PM admits

The Syrian government  has strengthened its position in recent months, British Prime Minister David Cameron admits, according to Press TV.

Speaking on the state-run BBC’s Andrew Marr show, Cameron said the Syrian government is stronger now than few months ago.

“I think the Syrian government may be stronger than it was a few months ago,” Cameron said.

It is worth noting that Cameron held off after military chiefs warned over the risks of arming the” rebels”.

According to reports, British public is largely against sending arms to the “militants” in Syria. There are also fears that any weapons Britain supply could fall into the hands of extremists.

Syrian government forces recaptured the strategically important town of al-Qusayr in Western Syria in June. Most of the much bigger city of Homs also has been retaken by the government troops.

The Western countries, including Britain, and their other regional allies, have been supporting over two years of militancy in Syria.
