Moscow, SANA – Russia’s Chief of General Staff and First Deputy Defense Minister Valery Gerasimov affirmed the necessity of enhancing the military successes achieved in Syria as eradication of terrorism is a matter of time.
“Completely eradicating militant groups, which is only a matter of time, will allow us to move to the post-conflict settlement. But before we do that, we need to secure the previously achieved military gains to prevent terrorists from returning to Syria,” Gerasimov said in a statement.
According to Gerasimov, “Russia and Iran have done much to resolve the Syrian crisis,” adding that “thanks to our joint efforts, terrorists are being wiped out from the Al-Bukamal area in eastern Syria and the Syrian-Iraqi border will soon be taken under control.”
