On the 43rd Anniversary of the glorious Liberation War of October, the Syria Times Online publishes the following pictures in tribute to the blessed memory of the Late President Hafez Al-Assad, who addressed the Syrian Army troops on the first day of the war saying:
We are not amateurs of killing and destruction, but we are repulsing murder and destruction from ourselves.
We are not the aggressors and never were aggressors; but we were and are still defending ourselves, repulsing the aggression.
We do not want death to anyone, but we repulse death off our people.
We love freedom and we want it for ourselves and for others. We are struggling today , so that our people will enjoy their freedom.
We are advocates of peace, and we work for peace for the sake of our people and for all the peoples of the world. And we struggle today in order to live in peace .
Proceed with God’s blessing, when Allah render you victory, no one would defeat you.
Peace be upon you
Dr. Mohammad Abdo Al-Ibrahim
