“Now she (hydroelectric power station) is freed thanks to the efforts and courage of the Syrian people. The power plant itself and the adjacent territories have been freed. Now it has established work, and it supplies electricity in the province of Aleppo, Racca. People are working quietly, there is no terrorism here, ”RIA Novosti quoted Boris Fomichev, representative of the command of the Russian forces in Syria.

Earlier, Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad said that the Syrian authorities and the people in no way agree to the division of the country into parts.

Assad also said in an interview with RT that Russia is sending soldiers to Syria to protect its own people, since the whole world is an arena for terrorism.
