Syrian President Bashar al-Assad offered condolences to Russian President Vladimir Putin over the recent terrorist attack near Moscow.

President Assad said that Russia will triumph over terrorism and Nazism, Press TV reported.

He said the terrorist attack in Moscow shows that terrorist operations will not be stopped unless the terrorists are destroyed.

The Syrian president also said the Daesh terrorist group is "the cousin of Nazism."

“We are confident that Russia will emerge victorious from this terrible experience, and we in Syria are waiting for its victory because we have suffered and continue to suffer from terrorism, and the victory over terrorism and Nazism will compensate for the damage caused,” Assad said.

In reply, President Putin thanked Assad for his expression of sympathy and also thanked him for Syria’s willingness to support Russia in the fight against terrorism.

“When we are united, our goal will be achieved and victory will be won,” Putin said.
