Syrian lawmaker Nabil Taama told Sputnik that the Americans want to create a counterweight to Russia's presence in Syria, supporting the formation of an independent state of the Kurd people. "This is an attack against Syria's sovereignty. The US is maintaining its policy of aggression in Syrian territory," Taama said.
Theuys believe the US is trying to catch up and surpass Russia in Syria. However, Russia is a party acting in accordance with the agreements signed with the Syrian leadership.
