By Staff, Agencies

Political and Media Advisor to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Bouthaina Shaaban, reaffirmed that the Syrian people will not accept any interference in their affairs and that every inch of the Syrian territory will be restored to the Syrian sovereignty.

In an interview with Beirut-based Arabic-language al-Mayadeen TV on Thursday, Shaaban said the Syrian people who made sacrifices will not allow anyone to interfere in their internal affairs or change its national identity.

She also stressed that the Syrian army will work on restoring every inch of the Syrian territory to the Syrian sovereignty.

Commenting on the situation in Idlib, Shaaban said terrorism cannot be tolerated in the province forever and should be brought to an end, stressing that the decision to liberate Idlib from terrorism has been taken by the Syrian leadership in coordination with the Russian ally.

Shaaban pointed out that the Turkish regime has not committed to the agreement on Idlib reached on the 17th of last September in Sochi, adding that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is trying to play other cards because he has failed in establishing a so-called “safe zone” he talked about.

On dialogue with the Syrian Kurds, Shaaban affirmed that doors are open for dialogue and that the Kurds are a main part of the Syrian fabric, noting that the majority of the Kurds want for the unity and national sovereignty of the country to be preserved.
