Damascus, Sep 16 (IANS) Syrian President Bashar al-Assad Tuesday said fighting terrorism would start by putting pressure on the governments that support terrorism in Syria and Iraq, Xinhua reported. "Fighting terrorism starts by practising pressure on the countries that support and finance the armed terrorist groups in Syria and Iraq while pretending that they are currently battling terrorism," Assad said, hailing the Syrian-Iraqi cooperation in battling terror. Assad made the remarks during a meeting with the visiting Iraqi National Security Advisor Faleh Fayad, who was sent to Syria on the behest of Iraq's Prime Minister Haidar Abadi. The visit comes as the international community is closing ranks on forging an international coalition to battle the Islamic State (IS) terror group in both Iraq and Syria.
