بيان توضيحي حول ما تم تداوله في بعض وسائل الإعلام بشأن تصريح الوزير كيري أمس في مستهل الإيجاز الصحفي لوزارة الخارجية: #سوريا

Clarification from remarks made at the State Department daily press briefing earlier yesterday:

The following information is attributable to Spokesperson John Kirby: “We have seen reports, based on the Secretary’s comments — and those of the spokesperson — this afternoon, that the U.S. and Russia could approve of strikes by the Syrian regime. This is incorrect. To clarify: the arrangement announced last week makes no provision whatsoever for the US and Russia to approve strikes by the Syrian regime, and this is not something we could ever envision doing. A primary purpose of this agreement, from our perspective, is to prevent the Syrian regime air force from flying or striking in any areas in which the opposition or Nusra are present. The purpose of the JIC, if and when it is established, would be to coordinate military action between the US and Russia, not for any other party.”
