Syria denies the US plan to use the airbase in the southern part of Damascus!
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Syrian Transitional Government stated that media reports about the US intending to use the airbase in the southern part of Damascus within the framework of a future Syria-Israel non-aggression treaty are false.
"The information about the US preparing to deploy military presence at an airbase near Damascus is not true. The US does not intend to establish a base in Syria. At this stage, we see the desire of the US to directly cooperate with the central government in Damascus. The US supports efforts to maintain a unified Syrian state and rejects any calls for division."
Previously, Reuters reported that the US was preparing to deploy a military task force at an airbase in Damascus to ensure support for future security arrangements between Syria and Israel.
