Russia: Syrian opposition's Qadri praises Russian anti-terror operation

A leading member of the Syrian opposition praised Russia's air campaign against the Islamic State (IS, ISIS, ISIL) and other militant groups in Syria during a press briefing in Moscow, Thursday. Jamil Qadri, the secretary of the People's Will Party and a member of the leadership of the Front for Change and Liberation, said that Russia's air campaign has contributed to defeating terrorists in Syria. "Every new constitution is only a draft and the need to conduct a general referendum to obtain its approval will allow for the solution of two problems. First, to unite all Syrians who are now divided because of the 2011 Syrian crisis. And secondly, this association should help to defeat the terrorists and this association will bring together all the Syrian people against their common enemy, and end their internecine fratricidal war. The Russian military operation contributes to this and understands it all," Qadri stated whilst discussing constitutional reforms in Syria. The delegation of Syrian opposition leaders was in Moscow for talks with the Russian Foreign Ministry ahead of the next round of Syria peace talks in Vienna on Friday, November 13.
