Syria has entered a new democratic avenue while running for presidency is in full swing through pluralistic elections deemed to be the first in the modern history of Syria which is born out of the ongoing crisis and the global war being waged by superpowers and takfiri wahabbi obscurantist groups intrinsically linked to al- qaeda which is made and exported by the American-Saudi intelligence.
The forthcoming presidential elections and the precedent democratic and constitutional activities mirror the fact that the Syrian people have opted for their path which is in itself a national achievement especially while the country is living through treacherous circumstances. Those who engineered and executed the vile scheme believed that Syria the state and national establishments would be paralyzed.
The national spirit of the Syrian people is the core issue of achieving victory over the enemy. This spirit is aligned with the Syrian Arab army to strike a strategic balance to any military power of the enemy. Here comes the bet of H.E President Bashar Al-Assad and his incessant assurance of the national awareness to achieve victory.
Synergy of the Syrian people with the political powers and civil societies come in tune with the presidential elections, the new culture of recognizing the other with recourse to the constitution and law simply reflect the civilized dimension of the Syrian people who boast of an original democratic legacy widely recognized in the region.
The upcoming days augur well for the elections which will echo the reality and let all skeptics know how effective it is through the popular interaction. Such a criterion does not stem from the stand of foreign powers but from the Syrian conviction that will be best manifested in the ballot boxes.
The thumping great popular participation in the election process and the freedom to choose the leader will couch a clear and conspicuous message depicting the mettle of the Syrian people to surmount the crisis. The Syrian people are keen on succeeding in their national options especially those enshrined by the constitution.
The spate of terrorism and the so-called foreign opposition made abroad, have been bitterly defeated in this confrontation through the democratic competition as well as in the battlefield thanks to the valiant Syrian Arab army.
