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 Syria’s enemies launched a war on the country and spread terrorism there after they failed to weaken Syria and force it into abandoning its basic principles.

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.
He also denounced the US for putting pressure on Arab countries to prevent them to have ties with Damascus.
Mekdad stressed the need for unity among Arab countries to resolve the challenges they are currently facing.
