ANKARA. Sept 16 (Interfax) - American troops must leave Syria immediately, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said.
"Last year, the U.S. president spoke of his decision to bring his troops back from Syria but the fate of his speech was the same as that of any other: claims that were untrue in the past have no will in the future," Rouhani said at a three-way summit with Russia and Turkey in Ankara.
"I underscore the need for U.S. troops to leave this region as soon as possible, to enable the Syrian government to extend its sovereignty both to the east and north of Euphrates and to most parts of Syria," Rouhani said.
