Syria's President Bashar al-Assad said on Tuesday that extremists cannot be defeated by countries that have "spread terrorism".

Assad: Fighting Terrorism Can Never Be Done By ’Terror-Backers’

Speaking during a meeting with secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council Ali Shamkhani and senior Iranian officials in Damascus, the Syrian president said: "Fighting terrorism can never be done by those countries that helped create terrorist groups, giving them logistical and financial help and spreading terrorism around the world."

Al-Assad stressed that confronting the Takfiri extremist mentality spread by terrorists and nurtured by some countries in the region is no less important than fighting the terrorists who commit acts of murder, wreak havoc, and destroy the historic and cultural heritage of people wherever they go.

Meanwhile, the talks between the two sides touched on the strong relations between Syria and Iran and the importance of maintaining and bolstering the standing strategic cooperation between them, as this cooperation forms the basis for defending the interests of the people of the two countries and the entire region and confronting the challenges facing it; first among which is the menace of the spread of Takfiri terrorism, which now threatens all countries near and far.

The two sides also asserted that combating terrorism must be carried out according to international law, and that success in this regard requires unifying the efforts of the international community and cooperating with the countries in the region that are waging a war against this looming threat.

Furthermore, they affirmed that combating terrorism requires abandoning the policies of double standards that are still being employed by the West and particularly by the United States, as these policies seek to implement covert agendas that do not serve the interests of the region's people.
