Alwaght- The US Secretary of State conceded that his country allowed the ISIS terrorist group to form and grow inside the Syrian territory hoping it would topple the government of President Bashar Assad.
He said Washington was hopeful that pressure from the ISIS terrorist will force the Syrian government to come to the negotiating table but Russia prevented such hopes to realize.
In a sound track John Kerry could be heard saying “the reason that Russia came in was that the ISIS got stronger. That was threatening to go to Damascus. That’s why Russia came in. because they didn’t want a Daesh government and they supported Assad”.
The US minister goes on to confess that his country stood by as the ISIS was getting strong enough to threaten central government in Damascus. He said “we knew that this [ISIS threat] was growing, we were watching”.
“We saw all that Daesh was growing in strength and we thought Assad was threatened. We thought that we could manage and Assad might negotiate,” Kerry added.
He said finally instead of getting Assad to negotiate there was Russian President Vladimir Putin that came to support Assad.
The US has always been reported as supporting terrorist groups in Syrian but the clear confession by their foreign minister could be a clear proof that Washington is and has been trying to block Syrian victory over terrorist groups in the country.
