Syria vows to retake land and drive out Turkish and US occupying forces
SYRIA has vowed to retake control of the parts of the country under the control of Turkish-backed and US occupying forces.
“Syria will go ahead in liberating every occupied territory, fully eliminating the terrorist groups and rejecting projects of partition,” Foreign Minister Fayssal Mikdad said on Monday.
The remarks appeared to be partly aimed at the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces in the country’s north-east which have strengthened relations with Washington, which has built military bases and plundered the region’s resources, including oil and wheat.
