DAMASCUS – The Syrian government criticized on Wednesday U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry for his statements that “contradict the truth” about a hypothetical partition of Syria if the cease-fire scheduled for Saturday fails.In a statement published by the Syrian Arab News Agency, or SANA, a Syrian Foreign Ministry official said that “Syria condemns these statements which contradict the truth and serve to hide his country’s responsibility for what Syria is exposed to from the crimes perpetrated by the terrorist groups.”
On Tuesday, Kerry told the U.S. Senate that Washington would move to plan B, which would involve the division of Syria, if the truce between the United States and Russia in the Syrian territory did not materialize or if a transition to an interim government did not occur in the coming months.
For the Syrian Foreign Ministry “the United States, with its regional allies and tools, shoulders the responsibility of starting and continuing the crisis in Syria through its continuous support of terrorism, SANA reported.
The statement stressed that the Syrian people “are more determined to defeat terrorism, preserve Syria’s territorial integrity, national sovereignty and its national independent decision.”
