Asa’ad Mustafa, Defense Minister in the Syrian interim government, denies reports that he along with officials from the FSA’s General Staff and the Syrian Coalition met with Russian and Iranian officials in Istanbul to stop the battle for the Syrian coast. We stress that these claims are baseless and unsubstantiated. We also reiterate our full commitment to the goals and values of the Syrian revolution, and we fully support the battle for the coast as well as all the battles fought by rebels on all Syrian territory. We hope that those who put out the news through social media to first check the credibility of this news as it will cause confusion and do harm to the Syrian revolution,” Mustafa said.
