DAMASCUS - Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem warned Saudi Arabia against intervening in Syria militarily, saying those who will enter the Syrian ground without the consent of the Syrian government "will return to their countries in wooden coffins."
Speaking at a press conference held in the capital Damascus, Syria's top diplomat said "we will resist any violations to our sovereignty."
"Any ground intervention in Syria without the consent of the Syrian government is an aggression that should be countered, which will be the duty of all of the Syrian people. And the aggressors will return to their countries in wooden boxes," al-Moallem warned,  while asked about the recent reports, suggesting Saudi Arabia is ready to send ground troops into Syria.
The head of the Syrian diplomacy said "the logic and the normal sense rule out any possible intervention scenario, but reviewing the crazy decisions made by Saudi Arabia in other areas suggest that nothing can be ruled out."
"I think there is something being cooked under a U.S. supervision between Turkey and Saudi Arabia," he said.
"Whether Saudis or Turkish, all those who will practice aggression on Syria will be sent back in wooden coffins."
The minister said the Saudi desire to enter Syria came after their frustration with the defeats dealt against the Saudi-backed militants in key Syrian areas recently.
"After the victories of the Syrian army and its allies, the conspirators against Syria have become desperate with the failure of their tools on ground, so they decided to enter personally," he remarked.(Xinhua)
