Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on Thursday stressed that Russia's honorable stances and standing by the Syrian people against terrorism is considered a natural continuity of Russian people's long history of fighting injustice and aggression and supporting the peoples' fair causes.

The remarks came in al-Assad's congratulatory cable to his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on the occasion of Victory Day over Nazism.

In his cable, al-Assad expressed, on behalf of the Syrian people and on his own behalf, sincere congratulations to President Putin and the friendly people of Russia on this historical day, underlining the high cost the Russian people paid to write down the legend of steadfastness that will inspire future generations.

He noted that Aleppo city, as well as other Syrian cities, has become like the heroic Stalingrad and gave a promise that "despite the brutality and cruelty of the enemy, and the great sacrifices and pains, our cities, towns, people and army will not be satisfied until they defeat the enemy and achieve victory serving the interests of Syria, the region and the world."
