The government of President Bashar al-Assad has strongly condemned the presence of French and German special forces in the areas of Ain al-Arab and Manbij, the Syrian state-funded SANA news agency reported on June 15, citing a source at Foreign and Expatriates Ministry.
” Commenting on news circulated regarding the presence of groups of French and German special forces in Ain al-Arab and Manbij areas on the Syrian territories, the Syrian Arab Republic vehemently condemns this blatant interference that constitutes a flagrant violation of UN Charter’s principles and an overt unjustified aggression on the sovereignty and independence of Syria,” SANA cited the soruce.
According to the source, the real goals of this interference “are beyond combating terrorism” because the countries involved in this action have constituted a main supporter to terrorism since the eruption of the crisis in Syria.
