October 26, 2017 at 10:07
US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson says the “reign of the Assad family” in Syria is coming to an end, and the “only issue is how that can be brought about.”
Tillerson's comments were made following a meeting with UN envoy Staffan de Mistura in Geneva, Reuters reported.
The secretary said he reaffirmed Washington's commitment to revive the Geneva peace process for Syria during a meeting with de Mistura.
He also said that “the only reason Syrian forces have been successful has been because of the air support they have received from Russia.”
