Nur Berkri said the situation of fighting separatism was still grave as the separatist forces, despite being hit hard after the July 5 riot, would not willing to accept their failure and were likely to "make more troubles."

"Whatever they do, they are doomed to failure," he said.

Nur Berkri made the remarks at a press conference on the sidelines of the National People's Conference, the country's top legislature.
