Moscow, SANA- Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Thursday that the Syrians have sent a message to the international community, through the Syrian National Dialogue Congress in Sochi, keeping the unity, sovereignty and independence of Syria.

Zakharova added at a press conference in Moscow that the representatives of the Syrian people, who participated in Sochi’s congress, called for preserving the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Syria and sent a strong message to the international community about the situation in their country and its future.

“The US forces continue to occupy a 55-kilometer area near Al-Tanf, which has become a shelter zone for the remaining members of Daesh (ISIS)” she said.
