Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shibani: Clearing our shared borders of terrorism and protecting them jointly is very important here. Bringing this process to success will serve our common interests. Outside of [the state], there should be no armed authority [operating independently]; such elements must not exist. Weapons should be solely under the national umbrella and under [state] authority. This is very important for the stability of this region and the region [as a whole].
