Syrian government demands immediate and unconditional withdrawal of foreign forces

Syrian government considers the presence of Turkish and US troops on its territory as an aggression
Head of the Syrian Arab Republic delegation to Astana 8 meeting, Dr. Bashar al-Jaafari, affirmed that the Syrian government considers the presence of Turkish and US troops on its territory as an aggression and demands immediate and unconditional withdrawal of foreign forces from its territory.


In a press conference following the end of Astana 8 meeting on Friday, al-Jaafari said that the eighth round of the Astana process dealt with the agreement of de-escalation zones, especially in the province of Idleb, adding that the Syrian government considers the presence of Turkish troops on the Syrian territory as an aggression that contradicts what was agreed upon in the fourth round of Astana in last May.

On the role of the guarantor states in the de-escalation areas, al-Jaafari pointed out that the insistence of the United States to keep its forces on Syrian territory without the consent of its government is an aggression on Syria’s sovereignty and contradicts the provisions of the UN Charter and relevant resolutions, all of which affirm the respect for the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of Syria, adding that “this was confirmed by the final statement read by Minister of Foreign Affairs of Kazakhstan, Kairat Abdrakhmanov, and we call for the immediate and unconditional withdrawal of these foreign forces from our territory.”

  1. In a press conference following the Astana 8 plenary session which concluded in the Kazakh capital on Friday, al-Jaafari said that Syria urges an immediate and unconditional withdrawal of these foreign forces which are operating in Syria without the approval of the Syrian government or a UN mandate.

    He reiterated that there isn't any form of dialogue with the Turkish side because it has supported terrorism in Syria and opened the borders for the flow of terrorist into the country.

    He pointed out that the US insistence on keeping its troops in Syria without the approval of the Syrian government is an attack on the sovereignty of Syrian state and it contradicts the rules of the UN Charter and the relevant international resolutions.

    Al-Jaafari asserted that the unilateral coercive economic measures against Syria are badly affecting the living of the Syrian people and they are illegal because they weren't provided in any Security Council resolution.
