Hassoun stressed that the Syrian people, having remained steadfast and united with its army and leadership for five years, were able to foil the conspiracy against their homeland and prove that they own their independent decision.
The French figures, for their part, appreciated the Syrian people’s steadfastness and resilience in the face of the terrorist organizations’ crimes, stressing that they will convey their testimonies to the French and European public opinion.
