Mekdad made the comments on Wednesday in an interview with Syrian News Channel Alikhbaria Syria.
The top diplomat spoke about other issues as well.

He said that America’s presence is coming to an end and the occupied parts of Syria would be back again under the sovereignty of the Syrian government.

Mekdad stressed the need for unity among Arab countries to resolve the challenges they are currently facing.
