The renewed spirit of Correction
Syrian people nation-wide remember today with great pride the glorious Correction Movement which constituted a luminous turning point in the history of Syria and the Arab nation as a whole. The Correction Movement laid the bases of comprehensive progress in all walks of life, which allowed Syria to achieve advancement on the political, economic, social and cultural levels. The Correction Movement’s track didn’t stop yet as it is a daily approach that keeps up with the requirements of the era and stage to maintain achievements and realize self-sufficiency, which constitutes a guarantee of sovereignty and dignity.
Syria’s strength is a result of the Correction Movement which built the Syrian national state with its army, institutions, and economy. The reactionary forces have attempted on many occasions to stop and destroy all aspects of life in Syria. The Colonial powers and takfiri terrorists now seek to strike the values of the Correction Movement and its political, economic and social achievements.
Inspired by the sublime values and great meanings of the Correction Movement, Syrian people and army are determined to press ahead with their battle to uproot terrorism and restore security and stability to Syria. The Syrians desire that their life will return to normalcy, to what it used to be before the crisis as they were leading a prosperous and stable life which was the main and salient aspect of their homeland after the Correction Movement. The Syrian army and people are, once again, foiling attempts to undermine the Movement’s values by confronting the biggest terrorist war fought against Syria.
Syrian people nationwide are commemorating the glorious 47th anniversary of the Correction Movement which was led by the late great leader Hafez al-Assad. The importance of the Correction Movement lies in the fact that it corrected the march of the Baath Party and returned it to the people. Syrian people are marking the anniversary with strong determination to press ahead with the battle against takfiri terrorism, which aims to destroy the great achievements realized by the Correction Movement. Syria marks this anniversary while being more stronger, determined and more committed to the national principles and interests of its people.
Before November 16, 1970, Syria was a weak state that has no position on the geo-political map. But after that date, the late great leader Hafez al-Assad changed Syria into a key state to be reckoned with at all levels. The late President, through his wisdom, strategic vision and firm stances has achieved great accomplishments, established strategic relations with neighboring countries and created a vital and effective space and a regional balance. Syria has moved into the stage of an effective Arab presence in the regional and international circles to defend the rights of the Arab nation, especially the central cause of the Arab people, the Palestine question.
It is too difficult to enumerate the achievements of the Correction Movement in an article. The great Correction Movement created the appropriate atmosphere to lay the foundation for establishing the state and building the human being making Syria realize comprehensive socio-economic development represented by great accomplishments in all domains.
Syrian army units are continuing their operations against the terrorist organizations and have made significant successes in several provinces. The Syrian army and armed forces carry out duty of combating terrorism in different provinces, killing terrorist organizations’ members, destroying their hideouts and foiling their plots and schemes and establishing control over more areas.Syria’s battle against terrorism is not different from the Correction battle which was 47 years ago as both of them have the same goals of building the Syrian society on the bases of education, knowledge, fighting illiteracy and boosting the culture of amity, dialogue and tolerance and facing all forms of cultural invasion.
