Syria managed to defeat terrorism in the country only thanks to the support of the country’s allies, most importantly Russia, a spokesman for the Syrian Foreign Ministry, Abdulmunem Anan, said on Thursday.
“[The Syrian people] are living their victory over terrorism and the return of peace to most parts of Syria. All of this has been achieved through help and support of our friends, notably Russia,” Anan said at an extended session of the Joint Russian-Syrian Coordination Committee on the repatriation of refugees.
According to Anan, the Foreign Ministry was trying to help all Syrians wishing to return to their home country with obtaining the necessary documents.
