95 percent of Iraq and Syria have been rescued from the occupation of Islamic State (IS) by international militant groups. This victory came against the IS through many deaths. UN Secretary-General Yan Kubish, who was appointed in Iraq, said these words on Wednesday.
In the Security Council meeting, Yan Kubis said that the immense areas of Syria and Iraq were under IS. In the summer of 2014, they started losing control in those areas.
UN special envoy said that Iraq and Syria have to pay a lot of value to free the IS. Another thousand civilian casualties have been reported. Thousands have lost their widows and their parents have lost their children. Only in the cities is the sign of destruction. Nearly six million people took shelter from their homes and took refuge there.
Yan Kubish called on the United States-led anti-ISI coalition to bring Iraq's IS-Free to the world together and bring normalcy to the whole region.
The story says that Russia is planning to reduce its major military operations in Syria. Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a tripartite meeting in Turkey on the Black Sea coast on Wednesday between Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani. They give more importance to the long-term solution to the Syrian crisis.
The Russian air force is carrying out air raids in IS positions in Syria from 30 September 2015. Russia has launched a missile attack targeting an IS base near the city of Abu Kamal near the border area of Iraq-Syria.
