Moscow, SANA- Russian Security Council Deputy Secretary Yevgeny Lukyanov called upon Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries to understand that they will be the next target for the terrorist organizations if the Syrian government collapses.
“The states of this region, Saudi Arabia, Gulf countries, and perhaps some others, should pray for Bashar al-Assad because Syria is the last frontier of their security, and if the Syrian state falls, then Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states will be the next goal for the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS)”, Lukyanov told journalists during his visit to Ulan-Ude Russian city on Wednesday.
He added that Some 5,000 Saudi nationals are part of ISIS and when the active phase of confrontation ends there, they will come back to their home and they can only kill people.
Lukyanov asserted that ISIS differs from other terrorist organizations as it does not just carry out terrorist acts, but it seizes territories and creates power bodies, pointing out that there is no country that would be immune from terrorist actions of ISIS.
He affirmed his country’s keenness to adhere to the agreements signed with Syria on importing arms.
