Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem has promised that any foreign ground troops entering his country without a formal invitation from Damascus would "return home in wooden coffins."


The head of the Foreign Ministry said in a press conference on Saturday, Lenta.ru reports, referring to the Associated Press.

“Any ground invasion of the territory of Syria without the consent of the Syrian government will be perceived as an act of aggression which must resist every citizen. I’m sorry to say it but they  Go home in wooden coffins ” – he stressed.

Thus Moallem responded to the statement by Bahrain, which following Saudi Arabia's example, declared its readiness to send troops into the CAP in the framework of a ground operation against the ''Islamic State''.
