Syria will continue to be one of the key issues for Germany’s intelligence service BND, Chancellor Angela Merkel said Friday, Anadolu Agency reports.
Merkel said the Daesh terror group was diminished but not yet defeated at the opening ceremonies of BND headquarters in Berlin
“It is rather conducting an asymmetric warfare, and remains a threat,” she stressed.
Merkel criticized major powers for turning Syria into a scene of proxy wars.
“Unfortunately we are still far away from peace in Syria nearly eight years after the outbreak of the conflict,” she said.
Merkel stressed her government would continue its efforts for a political solution in Syria, and would rely on information obtained by BND about major actors and the situation on the ground.
