Riyadh, (IINA) - Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister Adel Al-Jubeir said on Sunday that Russia's efforts to support Syrian Regime Leader Bashar Al-Assad would not succeed in keeping him in power, Arab News reported.
Addressing a press conference with Swiss Foreign Minister Didier Burkhalter, Al-Jubeir stressed that previous efforts to prop up Assad, including those of Iran, had "failed".
"Now, (Al-Assad) has sought the help of Russia, which will fail to save him", he said, urging Moscow to "end its air operations against the moderate Syrian opposition".
Al-Jubeir said: "It is impossible for a man behind the killing of 300,000 innocent people... to remain (in power)”.
Assad's departure "is a matter of time... sooner or later, this regime will fall, opening the way for building a new Syria without Bashar Al-Assad".
He urged the Syrian regime to "immediately allow the entry of humanitarian assistance to all parts of Syria, end military attacks on innocent civilians... (and) begin a political transition in Syria".
Referring to the deplorable conditions in Syria, which require immediate relief supplies and also ground operation to oust Assad, Al-Jubeir said: “Any move to deploy Saudi troops into Syria would depend on the decision made by the US-led coalition fighting ISIS insurgents”.
He confirmed that the Kingdom had sent aircraft to Turkey’s Incirlik Air Base for the fight against ISIS.
