Syria willing to work with western powers to check the advances of the ISIS

Syria has expressed its willingness to cooperate with the international community and work with the US and UK in the battle against Islamic State (IS) militants because the very existence of Syria and its President Bashar al-Assad is threatened news.sky.com .
The ISIS fighters have captured the Tabqa air base in northeast Syria after days of fighting that cost more than 500 lives and the Sunni extremists have kept on grabbing large areas of Syria as well as parts of northern Iraq in recent months and has declared a "caliphate" that would straddle both countries.
Incidentally, the Western powers like the US and UK, have been extending support to more moderate rebel fighters in the three-year civil war against forces loyal to Syria's President Bashar al Assad. However, in view of the sudden appearance and rise of the ISIS, the US has indicated that it could extend the battle against the extremists into Syrian territory.
The US has already been carrying out airstrikes against IS in Iraq, and Syrian foreign minister Walid al Moualem has opened up the possibility of working with countries like the US, Britain and Saudi Arabia – they had supported the uprising against Mr Assad but now, Syria is keen to invite them in the battle against ISIS.
In the opinion of Mr al Moualem, Syria is geographically and operationally the center of the international coalition to fight Islamic State. He has added that the states must come to it if they are serious in combating terrorism. He has also clarified that US aerial raids against IS inside Syria would have to be coordinated with Damascus and anything outside that would amount to aggression.
