Fidan: ISIS is no longer a systematic threat

According to Isna, Turkey’s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan told the TV Net channel on Saturday: “ISIS is now weakened and is not considered a systematic threat… We do not deny that they are a threat that must be fought, but as people who are at war, we can say that the reaction to the actions of ISIS is not proportionate to the threat that this group poses.” This is actually related to other goals. “ISIS has become a convenient tool that everyone exploits.”

According to Riya Novosti, he said that a number of countries use ISIS to achieve their political goals and claimed that this terrorist group was also abused by Bashar Assad, the former president of Syria. Fidan called it “provocative” when commenting on the ISIS attack on the US and Syrian army in the Syrian city of Palmyra on Saturday.

Earlier, the Pentagon announced that two American soldiers and a civilian translator were killed and three others were wounded in an attack in Palmyra, Syria. The spokesman of the Syrian Ministry of Interior also announced that a member of the ISIS terrorist group attacked military personnel in Palmyra.
