Syrien försäkrar för FN att Rysslands militära stöd i kampen mot terrorismen på alla sätt är laglig:
"” Damascus, SANA – The Syrian Foreign and Expatriates Ministry asserted that the military support provided by Russia to assist the Syrian government and army in fighting terrorism is fully compliant with international law and the UN Charter, international accords on counter-terrorism, and Security Council resolutions 2170, 2178, and 2199, all of which emphasized respecting the unity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of Syria.
In two identical letters sent to the UN Secretary General and the head of the Security Council, the Ministry said that based on a request from the Syrian government to the Russian government on cooperating in counter-terrorism and providing military support to assist in Syria’s efforts to fight terrorism, Russia took a series of steps including providing air support for the operations of the Syrian Arab Army against ISIS, Jabhat al-Nusra, and other terrorist organizations, in addition to targeting bases, camps, weapon and ammo depot, and command centers of terrorist organizations operating in Syria."
