Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al- Moallem has said the long-standing crisis in Syria could end within weeks if countries that support the rebels in Syria halted their support.
Moallem made the remarks during an interview with the Russia TV channel after the UN General Assembly session in New York, during which he said that as long the U.S., Europe and some Gulf countries are supporting the terrorist group, the crisis will continue.
On the other hand, if those countries halt their support and truly adopt the political solution, the crisis could end within weeks, he said.
Regarding the Syrian government's decision to surrender its chemical arsenal, Moallem defended the decision as a free sovereign decision and said it wasn't out of fear of a U.S. military action.
