Assad Foreign Minister: All fighters against Assad are "terrorists"

Al-Moallem has said any foreign ground troops which enter Syria would return home in wooden coffins in a reference to the Saudis, WTop reported AP.

He added all those who fight Assad regime are terrorists and the political solution in Syria will never end the war. 

Also in respect of the Saudi military role he stated "We do not exclude Saudi boots on the Syrian ground and the best indicator is the last visits between Ankara and Riyadh as the Turkish and the Saudi officials are preparing something".  

As for Geneva talks al-Moallem has said: "We can not name the talks "Geneva 3" as they were not held and we went to Geneva depending on SC resolution 2254.

Al-Moallem added we asked the UN Special Envoy de Mistura to provide us with a list of those we were going to have dialogue with.

Assad permanent ambassador to the UN Bashar al-Jaafari was among those who attended the press conference today.
