His remarks in parlia- ment came as his oppo- nents, backed by Turkey and Saudi Arabia, are struggling for survival and his troops have almost encircled rebel- held neighborhoods of Aleppo, Syria's largest city. Saying the military situ- ation was much better than it was months ago, Assad told the lawmakers that Aleppo will be "the grave- yard where the hopes and dreams of the butcher Erdo- gan will be buried." The reference was to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, one of the staunchest supporters of the rebels fighting to topple Assad. Erdogan has allowed safe passage from his coun- try for fighters and weapons over the border into Syria. Assad also described Erdogan as a "thug" and a "fascist" in the speech, which was frequently inter- rupted by applause. When Assad walked into the chamber to speak, the legislators had stood and chanted, "Our soul, our blood we sacrifice for you, Bashar!" The civil war, now in its sixth year, has turned in Assad's favor ever since Rus- sia began a bombing cam- paign in September, help- ing Syrian troops recapture wide areas from insurgents. The biggest victory came in March, when government forces evicted the Islamic State group from Palmyra, a desert town in central Syria world famous for its majes- tic Roman-era ruins. "The way we liberated Palmyra, and before that many areas, we will liber- ate every last bit of Syria from their hands. We have no choice but to be victori- ous," Assad said to a furious applause. "Our war on terrorism will continue not because we like war. They imposed the war on us," he added, re- iterating his often-used line of blaming foreign coun- tries for the conflict. "The shedding of blood will not end until we uproot terror- ism, wherever it is." Erdogan denies he is aiding the Islamic State, although he does support other rebels fighting to oust Assad. The U.S. supports the predominantly Kurd- ish, U.S.-backed Syria Dem- ocratic Forces fighting IS. State Department spokesman Mark Toner dis- missed the speech as "vin- tage Assad." "There were no surprises in what he said, unfortu- nately," Toner told report- ers in Washington. Assad should "recognize his role in the carnage in Syria" and "pledge to step aside so that a political transition could take place," he said. The Islamic State group also is under siege in neigh- boring Iraq, as government forces there surround the western city of Fallujah, which has been held by the extremists for more than two years. The speech was Assad's first to Syria's newly elected parliament and his first public remarks since Janu- ary. He also thanked China for using its veto at the U.N. Security Council months af- ter the crisis began to pre- vent the imposition of sanc- tions on Syria as well as Russia, Iran and Lebanon's Hezbollah group — three key allies who have played a critical role in boosting Assad's forces. He blamed the opposi- tion for the failure of three rounds of indirect peace talks in Geneva this year, blasting his opponents as "traitors for foreign coun- tries who have become mats for the feet of their masters." The opposition demands that Assad play no part in any transitional or future political establishment in Syria. Assad spoke as a two- pronged advance is under- way to capture key urban strongholds of the Islamic State group and its de facto capital of Raqqa. The Syr- ian army, backed by Rus- sian airpower, is moving from the southwest, while the Syria Democratic Forces are pushing from the north and west. The SDF are clos- ing in on the IS stronghold of Manbij, 72 miles to the northwest of Raqqa. Turkey's top diplomat, meanwhile, said Kurdish rebels known as the YPG may provide logistical sup- port in the fight against IS in Syria, but he warned that their presence would not be tolerated west of the Eu- phrates River. The YPG, or People's Pro- tection Units, is a Kurdish faction within a mixed co- alition of Kurdish and Arab groups fighting against IS in northern Syria with the support of U.S. special forces in Syria. Ankara, un- like Washington, views the YPG as a terrorist organi- zation. "If the YPG want to pro- vide logistical help east of the Euphrates, that's dif- ferent, but after the opera- tions end, we don't want a single YPG member west of the Euphrates," said Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Ca- vusoglu.
