Damascus, SANA – Presidential Political and Media Advisor Bouthaina Shaaban affirmed that restoring security to Palmyra city has dealt “a serious blow to terrorism” striking Syria for five years now.
The Syrian Arab army, backed by Russian air support, established control over Palmyra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, on Sunday, driving out ISIS terrorists who took over the city in May 2015.
“Having Palmyra back secure is further evidence that the Syrian Arab army together with the allies, mainly through the Russian air force and assistance, are capable of defeating terrorism and are sincere about fighting it,” Shaaban told Russian RT on Monday.
