国际英语新闻:Syrian army will continue fighting to restore all of Syria: minister

DAMASCUS, Feb. 8 (Xinhua) -- Syria's Information Minister Omran al-Zoubi stressed Sunday that the Syrian army will continue fighting untill all of Syria has been restored and remains united.

Al-Zoubi's remarks came during a seminar held Sunday in the Ministry of Information, during which he added that the war on Syria aims to split it.

The minister added "I want to assure you we will continue fighting until we restore all of Syria's territories, including the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights."

He also stressed that Syria will remain united and the government will remove separatists, referring to the Kurds in northern Syria as they have created a separate region.

"From the Kurds in northern Syria till Daraa in southern Syria, either you accept to be Syrians abiding by Syrian law and leadership or you are out, even if fight for a hundred years," Al-Zoubi remarked.

Meanwhile, the minister noted that his words are "in unison and harmony and do not contradict" with the Syrian government's efforts in reaching a political solution to the protracted conflict.
