Syria’s Foreign Ministry said on Thursday that statements by Britain’s Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson demonstrate London’s part in “aggression” against Syria and showed he did not understand the situation there.

“Statements of British FM Boris Johnson reveal his complete separation from reality and his lack of realization that the time of the (British colonial) mandate will not come back,” it said in a statement carried on state media.

On Wednesday, Johnson said a political transition plan presented in London by the Syrian so-called opposition that requires President Bashar al-Assad to step down could help stalled peace talks to restart.
