Jaberi Ansari made the remark in a press conference in Damascus, Syria, on Tuesday.

He said, �We believe any unilateral operation launched without coordination with the Syrian government, even if having positive result in a short period of time, will have reverse result in the long-term.

He said any operation inside Syrian territory without coordination with the Syrian government will be unacceptable and entail grave consequences.

�One cannot speak of ceasefire, while supporting terrorism; what happened in Deir al-Zor , raises a serious question on goals and policies of the US.�

He announced that it is not the result of an event but sign of playing with card of terrorism.

�Certain players oppose any ceasefire because their policy is based on continuation of crisis in Syria. Maintenance of Syria unity is a duty resting on Syrians before than any other player; As long as there is not sufficient will on part of Syria, territorial integrity of the country will not be threatened by any factor.�

He noted, �We hope government and nation as well as the political and social groups of Syria will take policies to end crisis in the country.�
