Syrian National Coalition President Khalid Khoja told CNN the opposition maintains its right to confront the occupation of Syria by Russia, adding the Russians are supporting Bashar Assad to kill more civilians and get rid of the opposition. Russia has bombed rural areas of Homs where civilians live and are killing dozens of civilians.
The Syria opposition considers aggressive measures by Russia as an occupation and maintains the legitimate right of resistance against this occupation, he added.
There are reports from sources inside Hezbollah of armed Iranian elements going to Syria, yet Iran has been in this war from the beginning and the opposition has defeated Iran in the north and the south, Khoja continued.
The Assad regime controls only 14% of the country, while we control the rest, he said. There are small areas controlled by al-Qaeda affiliated groups. Currently ISIS controls only 11% of Syria and therefore we have the upper hand on the ground, the SNC concluded.
