Syrian Deputy-Foreign Minister Fayssal Mikdad, described the hostile war launched by the Turkish regime on Syrian territories as “invasion”, saying that attacking a sovereign, independent country is considered as an outrageous act against the UN charter and international law which flagrantly contradicts Security Council relevant resolutions.

“The Syrian Arab Army, which confronts the terrorist organizations, will confront the foreign invading forces which are present illegitimately on the Syrian territories and it is ready to face all challenges to which Syria is exposed,” Mikdad said in a press statement at the HQ of Foreign Ministry. He added that the history will hold Head of the Turkish regime, Erdogan, responsible for being a war criminal who has perpetrated all crimes against the Syrian people.

“A liar and a reality forger has no right to claim that he defends the Syrians or accuse the others of crimes he has perpetrated against the Syrian people, Mikdad said.

Mikdad affirmed that the Syrian army has confronted the Turkish aggression on Syria since the beginning of the terrorist war on the country in a lot of sites and it fought the terrorists who were supported and armed by the Turkish regime.

He held the Turkish regime responsible for displacing the Syrians from their lands as it has perpetrated crimes against them through its terrorists and mercenaries, but, the Syrian state has been and still is committed to all its citizens and their return, without preconditions, to villages and towns in Syrian al-Jazeera.

On whether there are any contacts in order to pave the way for the entry of the Syrian army to Syrian al-Jazeera regions or not, Mikdad stressed that the Syrian government has made discussions with all its citizens and expressed, as from the beginning, readiness to make necessary reconciliations, but, the armed powers in that region rejected all attempts and insisted to pave the way, directly or indirectly, for the Turkish occupiers to invade north of Syria.

“The Turkish aggression on the Syrian territories makes Turkey in a position that doesn’t differ from Daesh terrorist organization and many other terrorist groups,” Mikdad said.

He affirmed that the Turkish aggression on Syrian territories will have political repercussions and impacts on the political process in Syria, saying that the international community and the UN should halt this aggression, deter it and make pressures on the Turkish regime to withdraw its army in order to run the political process and the work of the constitutional committee, unless, it will face a lot of obstacles while Turkey threatens to occupy Syrian territories.

Mikdad concluded by affirming that Syria, with its heroic army, will defend each Syrian citizen wherever he was in the framework of its legitimate right according to international law and UN conventions.

In a related notion, Syria said that the statements of the Turkish President where he claimed to care about protecting the Syrian people and their lives can only come from someone who is disassociated from reality, asserting that it will confront the Turkish aggression with all legal methods and means.

An official source at the Foreign Ministry said that after providing continuous support for terrorists in Syria, Erdogan came up with statements that can only be produced by a person who is disassociated with reality, as he talks about his commitment to the protection of the Syrian people when his own hands are covered in the blood of Syrians killed by the terrorists he and his regime sponsor.

The source said that Erdogan talks about his fear for the Syrian people and protecting them and preserving their lives, all while he is attacking civilians in the Syrian north under the pretext of fighting terrorism, asserting that Erdogan’s regime hides behind humanitarian slogans when it is far removed from them and is responsible for committing massacres.

The source went on to assert that Syria will confront the Turkish aggression in all its forms across the country using all legal methods and means, stressing that the fight against terrorism in Syria will not be stopped by the statements of Erdogan and his ilk, and that the task of protecting the Syrian people is the duty of the Syrian Arab Army and the Syrian state, and no one else.
