Iraqi forces have regained full control of the country’s border with Syria, Iraqi Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi said Saturday.
"Our forces are in complete control of the Iraqi-Syrian border,” al-Abadi said in statements in the capital Baghdad.
He said the Iraqi victory over the Daesh terrorist group has been realized with unity among Iraqis.
Iraqi forces have managed to recapture all territories overran by Daesh in northern and western Iraq in 2014
