Al-Zoubi: Terrorist blasts in Tartous and Jableh reflect helplessness of perpetrators, Syrians are steadfast thanks to nationalism

Damascus, SANA – Information Minister Omran al-Zoubi said, that the coward terrorist attacks which targeted the cities of Jableh and Tartous on Monday, reflect the deep helplessness of the terrorist organizations.

Minister al-Zoubi said in an interview with the Syrian TV Channel on Wednesday that the martyrs who died in Tartous terrorist blast come from different parts of Syria, adding that Jableh as well contains residents of different backgrounds.

He continued to say that the Syrians, who proved to be nationalistic and rational, prevented all attempts of hurling the country into a sectarian discourse.

” Syria is the Stalingrad of the Arabs that approved, through its steadfastness, that it is the key of victory against the neo-Nazism and Fascism i.e. the Wahhabism,” al-Zoubi said.

The Minister stressed that the terrorist movement of “Ahrar al-Sham” is in a political and military confusion and that is why when perpetrated the terrorist attack in Lattakia and Tartous, it considered it as victory and issued a statement in which it adopted the operation immediately, yet some states attempting not to include the Movement in the terrorism list were upset of its adopting it so they focused on ISIS terrorist organization’s adoption, ignoring that the real one was issued by “Ahrar al-Sham” in the first place.

He said that all those who have been adherent to the cessation of hostilities agreement are not targets of the Syrian Arab Army and its allies.

Al-Zoubi said that the Syrian government announced, since the beginning of the war against Syria, its commitment to supporting the political track that leads to political solutions to the crisis.

Regarding the restoration of Raqqa city, al-Zoubi said that Raqqa is a Syrian Arab city, which must be liberated, and if “Forces of Democratic Syria” do that, backed by some of what they call U.S. advisors for liberating it, this would serve us in confronting terrorism yet the issue stops here (at this stage.)

Answering a question on the Saudi forces’ intention to enter the country, the Information Minister stressed that any forces that enter Syria without the permission of the Syrian state become a legitimate target of the Syrian Army.

Regarding what it was circulated in media outlets on a draft of a new constitution to Syria, al-Zoubi said we have no idea about this and we do not know its source.
