Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem on Saturday called for the immediate withdrawal of US and Turkish troops from Syria, threatening to take countermeasures and condemned Israel's violations, including its recent decision to annex the Golan Heights.
"Any foreign forces on our territory without our request are occupying forces and must withdraw immediately," Moualem said in a speech to the UN General Assembly in New York.
"The United States and Turkey are continuing their illegal military presence in northern Syria, and their arrogance has reached talks and agreements on the establishment of the so-called safe zone inside Syrian territory," Muallem said. "This is contrary to international law and the UN Charter."
The regime's foreign minister promised to complete the war against "terrorism" in all its names and on all Syrian territories.
In another context, Moallem said during his speech that the violations of Israel, including its recent decision to annex the Golan would not have been possible without the support of the United States also provided by certain unnamed countries, adding that these countries bear the full consequences of what Israel is doing.
The United States has about 1,000 troops in Syria to support the Syrian Democratic Forces (YPG), which is controlled by the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG). .
On the other hand, Russian Major General Igor Konashenkov confirmed in an interview with reporters yesterday that the Russian army intercepted 58 drones and 27 missiles that were targeting the military base of Hmeimim in the Syrian province of Latakia since the beginning of the year.
The Russian brigade that the opposition fighters are constantly developing their drones so that they can target points from a distance of 250 kilometers and flying at a height of 4 kilometers, making it difficult to monitor.
