The first statement from Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, who has suffered heavy losses against armed opposition groups, has been released. Assad, whose whereabouts are unknown, said, "With the help of our allies and friends, we have the capacity to defeat and eliminate our enemies, no matter how intense the attacks are."
Opponents in Syria, Turkey's border neighbor, have taken action against President Bashar al-Assad. Armed opponents led by Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham have captured many critical points, especially in Aleppo and Idlib.
ASSAD: WE HAVE THE CAPACITY TO DEFEAT OUR ENEMIES
The regime army, unable to hold against the opponents, hastily abandoned the areas they lost. The first statement came from Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, who is said to have fled to Russia. Assad stated, "We continue to protect our settlements and territorial integrity against all terrorists and their supporters. With the help of our allies and friends, we have the capacity to defeat and eliminate them, no matter how severe the attacks are."
