The spokeswoman marked the extreme measures taken by militants and their “sponsors” derailed the peace at the international scene.
“Their sponsors, who, as experience shows, are ready for extreme steps to carry out their interests in Syria and who have nothing to do with the genuine interests of the Syrian people, have become more active as well”.
