Addressing the UN General Assembly, Foreign Minister Walid Al-Moualem said the foreign forces were on Syrian soil illegally, under the pretext of fighting terrorism, and “will be dealt with accordingly.” Walid Al-Moualem also called on Syrian refugees to come home as the situation in Syria is now more stable. Al-Moualem told the UN General Assembly that Damascus was ready for the voluntary return of refugees who fled during the more than seven-year conflict. He added that Syria welcomes any assistance with reconstruction from those countries that were not part of the aggression on Syria.
