Deputy Foreign and Expatriates Minister, Bashar al-Jaafari, said that the reason behind the terrorist war, which has been waged on Syria since 10 years, was because of foiling a lot of western projects in the region which “have cost their owners billions of dollars.”

“Syria has gained a great victory, but the war is not over yet,” al-Jaafari told al-Mayadeen TV in an interview broadcast on Wednesday.

He added that the decision of the Syrian leadership, the Syrian Army and people is to end the Turkish occupation of parts in the north and north western side, to end the US occupation of parts in the north and south-eastern side and to work for regaining the Syrian Golan from the Israeli occupation.

Al-Jaafari went on to say that Syria considers the Palestinian cause as its central cause, adding that Syria reaffirms its principled stance in support of the Palestinian people.
