DAMASCUS, Jul 23 (NNN-SANA) – The presence of the U.S. forces in north-eastern Syria, and its plundering of the Syrian oil, aim to obstruct the political solution and the return of stability and security to Syria, the Syrian Foreign Ministry said in a statement yesterday.
The U.S. practices and the unlimited support to the terrorist groups, show the “hypocrisy of the U.S. in the region,” which is “no longer acceptable neither morally nor politically,” the ministry said.
It slammed the U.S. sanctions imposed on Syria, saying that, the U.S. unilateral sanctions and measures are “threatening the lives of the Syrian people and are detrimental to the present and future” of Syria.
The U.S. forces entered Syria in 2014, under the pretext of fighting the Daesh. The Syrian government has repeatedly called for the withdrawal of the U.S. forces from Syria, describing the U.S. forces as forces of occupation.– NNN-SANA
