Syria Slams Presence of French, German Special Forces

Syria Slams Presence of French, German Special Forces

Alwaght- Syria on Wednesday strongly condemned the presence of French and German special forces in the country's Ain al-Arab and Manbij areas.

In a statement through the official Syrian news agency SANA, the country's Foreign Ministry termed this presence as a blatant interference, a flagrant violation of UN Charter’s principles and an overt unjustified aggression on the sovereignty and independence of Syria.

The Syrian government noted that claiming that this violation comes within counterterrorism process cannot delude any one because the active and legitimate counterterrorism requires cooperation with the legitimate Syrian Government.

The statement noted that the Syrian army and people are fighting terrorism on each inch of the Syrian territory providing great sacrifices to cleanse the country of terrorism which constitutes a serious threat to the entire security and stability of the world.

The Syrian government pointed out that the real intentions of this interference are beyond combating terrorism, especially considering that the countries involved have constituted a main supporter to terrorism since the eruption of the crisis in Syria.

Damascus also blamed Western countries for giving legitimacy to some terrorist groups by considering them moderate although their approach and ideology are not different from those of ISIS and al-Nusra Front.

Meanwhile, Germany's Defense Ministry has denied that the country's Special Forces were deployed on the ground in northern Syria.

A French Defense Ministry official meanwhile told AFP last week that France had deployed its special forces on the ground in northern Syria to "advice" rebels. "The offensive at Manbij is clearly being backed by a certain number of states including France. It's the usual support – it's advisory," the official said.
