DAMASCUS (Dispatches) -- A political and media adviser to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has hailed support provided by Iran, Russia and Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement for the Arab country country as invaluable.
In a speech in the western city of Hama on Sunday, Bouthaina Shaaban expressed her gratitude to Iran, Russia, and Hezbollah for supporting the Syrian government and army in the fight against terrorism.
She touched on "double vetoes” of Western conspiracies against Syria at the UN Security Council by Russia and China, stating that such acts of support are invaluable.
Shaaban also praised the Syrian military’s recent advances against terrorists in the suburbs of Hama and Khan Shaykhun and said if it had not been for the resistance of the people in Hama, the victories would not have been achieved.
Syrian army troops seized a major territory in the northwest where they had encircled militants on Friday, reclaiming several towns and areas.
