Assad from Idlib: This Battle is Key to End Chaos, Terrorism in the Entire Country

By Staff

Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad made a surprise visit to Idlib countryside where he met Syrian Arab Army personnel on frontlines of al-Habit town.

Assad stressed that Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan is a thief who stole factories, wheat and oil, and he is today stealing the land, in reference to Turkey’s last week ground incursion into northern Syria.

“All Syrian territories are of same importance, but priorities depend on the ground military situation,” Assad stressed, noting that he said before and still say that “the battle for Idlib is key to ending chaos and terrorism in all Syrian territories.”

He further urged standing by each other and coordinating whenever the country is attacked or stolen.

“What we first did since the beginning of the aggression in the north is to communicate with all political and military forces on the ground,” Assad said, stressing the country’s readiness to support any resisting group.

“This is not a political decision but a constitutional and patriotic duty,” he concluded.
