Syrian President Bashar Assad on Sunday vowed to defeat terrorism in the country, regardless of who sponsors or supports it.
"Terrorism understands only the language of violence, and this is the language we will use to break and destroy it, regardless of its supporters and sponsors," Assad said during a phone conversation with Acting Abkhazian President Badra Gunba, as quoted by Syrian state-run agency SANA.
Terrorists do not represent people or institutions, the Syrian president noted.
The Syrian armed forces command said on Saturday that dozens of Syrian soldiers were killed in recent days in combat operations against terrorist groups in the provinces of Aleppo and Idlib and that the army had regrouped to save civilian lives and prepare for a counterattack. Syrian media have reported, citing military sources, that these were terrorists from the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham group* (formerly known as the Nusra Front).
The armed conflict in Syria started in 2011 between the government of Assad and various armed groups, including terrorists. The Islamic State terrorist group** was declared defeated in late 2017, and Damascus has since continued raids to wipe out remaining cells, chiefly in the country's northwest.
