Official Source: Statements by American Officials Prove US Involvement in Encouraging Violence against Syrian Army

An official source at the Ministry of Foreign and Expatriates Affairs said the recent statements made by American officials including what was said by Spokesman of the US Department of State Mark Toner on Sep 26th about supporting the armed terrorist groups in using violence against the Syrian Arab Army, clearly indicate that the US is involved in encouraging the armed groups to carry out acts of violence against the Syrian Army.

In a statement to SANA, the source added that describing the terrorist acts as normal by the Deputy of the US Department of State Spokesman is an irresponsible attitude that would encourage the acts of violence and sabotage serving the foreign agendas which contradict with the interests of the Syrian people.

The source said that Syria strongly condemns these American statements, and affirms determination to perform its duty in preserving its security and stability, defending its citizens, and in confronting all the attempts of interference in its internal affairs.
