Syria will expel US and Turkey from country: Shaaban

Syrian Presidential Adviser Boutaina Sha’aban stated on Wednesday that Syria will expel both the Turkish and U.S. forces from the country.

“We are determined to liberate all of Syria’s territory from terrorists and Turkish and U.S. occupation forces,” Sha’aban told the crowd at the cultural symposium held by the Al-Quds International Foundation.

Sha’aban’s comments come just two days after Turkey announced that they were going to continue their operations in northern Syria.

The Syrian government has called on both the U.S. and Turkey to immediately withdraw from Syria; however, both nations maintain they are fighting terrorists.
