| [EN.ZAMANALWSL.NET] Syria's deputy foreign minister says air support provided by any country to rebels fighting against ISIS murderous Moslems would be considered an "aggression." Faisal Mekdad's comments on Tuesday were in response to Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu, who said ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... and the U.S. have agreed in "principle" to provide air protection to rebels being trained and equipped to fight ISIS Death Eaters, once they enter Syrian territory for battle. Ankara and Washington agreed in February to train and equip up to 15,000 Syrian fighters under a U.S. program designed to add a credible ground force to an air bombing campaign against the Death Eater group. Cavusoglu didn't provide further details on the air cover. Mekdad made the comments to the Leb-based Al-Mayadeen TV station. |
