Russian Deputy Defense Minister Alexander Fomin said on Thursday that the Syrian armed forces, supported by the Russian Aerospace Forces, have managed to purge terrorists from virtually the entire territory of the Middle Eastern country.

Peaceful life was being restored in Syria as the country’s citizens were returning to their homes, the official pointed out.

Meanwhile, the Deputy Defense Minister warned that terrorists can detect radio waves at which Russian aviation operates.

“I would like to say that terrorists [in Syria] have the technical possibilities of reaching the radio waves at which our aviation operates. Special equipment is needed for this,” Russian Deputy Defense Minister Alexander Fomin noted.

He emphasized that this equipment was not made from scratch in the Syrian desert.

“Over the past years, the Syrian government forces supported by the Russian Aerospace Forces managed to liberate virtually the entire territory of the country from the terrorists of the ISIL Takfiri terrorists and groups that have joined them,” Fomin said said at the Xiangshan Forum on security in Beijing.

Alexander Fomin also stressed that terrorists should not be negotiated with and should be killed far beyond the border.

“You cannot make deals with terrorists, you should only destroy them. There are no good or bad terrorists. They should be liquidated ‘in the far reaches’ instead of waiting until they multiply and come to our house… That is why, not for a single second have we hesitated when in September 2015, the legitimate Syrian government invited Russia, acting through the Aerospace Forces, to come help in liquidating international terrorists in this country,” Fomin said.
