Syria's foreign minister says victory within reach
UNITED NATIONS - Syria's foreign minister said on Saturday that victory was within reach in the country and that Damascus hoped de-escalation zones will help Syria reach a cessation of hostilities.
"The liberation of Aleppo and Palmyra, the lifting of the siege of Deir Ezzor and the eradication of terrorism from many parts of Syria prove that victory is now within reach," Foreign Minister Walid al-Moualem said in his speech to the United Nations General Assembly.
