Father, they wanted to crush our bones and feed the terrorists the dishes of our burnt flesh! They are those who have been deceiving the entire world for decades. They waited and waited, and soon after your untimely demise, they wanted to take revenge from the Syrian rich and deep rooted history, civilization and culture.

Unable to control, nor to subdue your son, President Bashar, and for about a decade following your demise, the anti-Syrians ewes, new-colonialists, ottomans rallied and exerted every evil effort and backed every terrorists from more than a hundred country; they wanted to eat our flesh, rape our women, stead our resources, and.. and… Here is Syria, the capital of Bashar  Hafez Al-Assad, the man who has been living in the hearts and minds of the millions of Syrians, Arabs and freedom and Resistance fighters.

President Hafez Assad, the builder of Modern Syria, passed away on June 10, 2000 leaving behind unforgettable pages of glory and treasures of unshaken principles and doctrines. "There are always men who can catch history" is an important saying of the great Indian leader Gandhi. The late leader President Hafez Al-Assad did not only catch but rewrote and made history through the depth of his thoughts and wisdom.

In his recent Interview with Russian TV International, H.E. President Bashar Al-Assad reiterated some of the principled guidelines for the Syrian balanced and wise policy. President Assad asserted that

• "With every move forward for the Syrian Army, and for the political process, and for the whole situation – forward in the positive meaning, towards more stability – our enemies and our opponents, mainly the West led by the United States and their puppets in Europe and in our region, with their mercenaries in Syria, they try to make it farther, either by supporting more terrorism, bringing more terrorists  coming to Syria, or by hindering the political process."
• The war is the worst choice. But sometimes you only have this choice, especially when you talk about factions like Al Qaida, like ISIS, like al-Nusra, and the like-minded factions – actually most of them have the same ideology.
• We succeeded by implementing reconciliations, especially when the community in those different areas made pressure on those militants to leave those areas. So, I think the best choice is to make reconciliation. This is our plan. But when it doesn’t work, the only method to resort to is the force.
• We’re going to liberate every area, so it’s impossible for us to intentionally leave any area on the Syrian soil outside our control as government.
• In Damascus, in Aleppo, in Homs, in every area under the Syrian government’s control, you’ll see every spectrum of the Syrian society, with no exceptions… how could they live with each other while the government is killing them according to sectarian basis? It doesn’t work.
• Whenever we can save Syrian blood, we have to go forward and deal with any initiative, any kind of initiative, even if they have bad will.
• The majority of the people who were against the government – apparently – in the different liberated areas, actually, in their hearts they are with the government, because they could tell the difference between having government and having chaos.
• the United States is losing its cards. The main card was al-Nusra that was called “moderate.” But when the scandal started leaking, that they are not moderate, they are Al Qaida that was supposed to be fought by the United States, they looked for another card. This card is the SDF now, because when as it seems, as you just mentioned, we are moving forward in the different areas to defeat the terrorists.

In the recently held Sochi Summit between Presidents Bashar Al-Assad and Vladimir Putin, a call was reiterated for the withdrawal of foreign forces from the Syrian Territories. This has indeed been an indirect political call on the occupying US, French and other un-invited forces of occupation to end their illegal and illegitimate occupation.

Had it not been so, President Putin would have ordered his men to leave Syria. Actually, the Russians , the partners in the sacred blood in defense of the world, and hero brothers in the fight against terrorism along with Hizbollah, Iran, and every anti-terrorists, have been playing a pivotal role in defense of all world and in reshaping the globe on the basis of justice, legality and freedom.

For many, Sochi  can be considered as the last call for the occupiers withdrawal before the plastic or wooden boxes are to be crammed with what might remain of the occupiers' flesh! The Russians are specialized with eliminating ISIS and other terrorist groups, BUT some other anti-terrorism forces are famed for their struggle and fight against the occupiers of their own territories.

The Syrian territories, resources, civilizations are but Syrian and for the Syrians! The occupiers' dreams in and with the Syrian Paradise, baptized with the blood of all the  anti-terrorism noble martyrs, are doomed to be Satan's  definite hell.

Damascus, Damascus Countryside, are cleaned from the occupiers' dirt and garbage! The greedy occupiers with the  ewes and their cannibals on the ground are being defeated and liquidated.

Millions of Syrians, for the first time after long thorny years of savage and terrorist shelling and attacks, feel now the blessing of living in the oldest continuously inhabited capital worldwide. This is but an assertion that Moscow, Tehran , and many other capitals worldwide are to enjoy and live in  peace.

It is now more than late that the occupiers should withdraw from the sacred land of Syria. As the terrorists on the ground are being cleansed, the backers, financers and masters of these terrorists should too immediately  withdraw or be mercilessly, and out of the legitimate right to self-defense , be cleansed.

"Our enemies have been working throughout the years of war as to make us lose determination and hope and to be desperate. In fact, the enemies  failed given the fact that Syria is gradually emerging out from the bottle neck. Hope is the everlasting impetus and motivation behind success and development as the youth are but the dynamo and heart of every society."

Abdin:

Brothers and sons, sisters and laborers,

 Amidst the celebrations of our people of the silver jubilee of the corrective movement, comes your contributions truly expressing gratitude, devotion and the spirit of struggle which singled out the working classes in Syria over its history.

Since the dawn of the correction and the 8th of March revolution, the working classes had a prominent role to play in Syria which came as an extension to their role they have already expressed at different stages of our modern history prompted by patriotism and belief in the national values.

You have tirelessly persevered to revive the weeks of productive competitiveness and days of the national voluntary work one year after another concurrently with the anniversary of the corrective movement in appreciation of the existing nexus between you and the corrective movement.

 Your efforts culminated due to the amelioration of production, shoring up the national economy, brain work and adapting the slogan of self reliance benefitting from  the country`s potentials and national resources where you made remarkable achievements of which we are enormously proud.

Twenty five years span is a definite time calculation, but what has been achieved during it represents an era of productivity. The great evolution and the fast-moving development Syria has witnessed over the past twenty five years in the economic, social and political aspects belong to the leading role you have perfectly done.

These great achievements coupled with your brotherly farmers have multiplied the agricultural production many folds and provided food security to the people in addition to security, stability and national unity on the grounds of enhancing our capability to counter all challenges befalling the nation.

Our nation boasts of awareness, altruism and sacrifice. The country is impervious to hardships and debilities but moves forward with back-to-back successes and victories. Verily, our nation is able to hit its targets and achieve aims thanks to the people who work towards such goals.

At this juncture and in the battle for peace, we are strong because of the will of our people and the valiant armed forces who are defending the nation as we are waging this battle without prejudicing our rights and principles.

I avail this opportunity to bless your great efforts as I am quite confident of  the capabilities of our people to achieve the promising future we have been looking forward to.

Let us persist with resolve and determination, which branded our march over the past twenty five years, to continue our struggle for the coming years in order to achieve prosperity and welfare to our posterity they duly deserve.
