Syrian Army ‘s 68Th Anniversary

DAMASCUS,(ST)_ The Syrian army, once again, is waging today the battle against terrorism, embodying principles and values it carries since its foundation in 1945 to defend the homeland and preserve its dignity against schemes that seek to undermine the Syrian state and her national sovereign decision. 

The current global conspiracy against Syria proved the ability of the Syrian army to thwart all plots and conspiracies that targeted its cohesion and discipline through misleading media campaigns for which billions of US dollars were allotted in desperate attempts to tarnish the image of the Syrian fighter who made the victories of 1973 and broke the myth of the invincible Zionist army.

All facts confirmed that the Syrian Arab Army represented over the years militant struggle to ensure national unity to protect and defend the law against internal and external threats. 

Since its creation nearly 68 years ago, the Syrian army devoted itself to a national scientific concept materialized in honorable fights especially the battle in defense of Palestine in 1948, preserving Lebanon ‘s unity and independence in 1976 and participated in the battles of honor against the Zionist enemy in Lebanon, also in 1982.

The Syrian Arab Army chose to develop its combat potentials and managed through the consolidation and development of cooperation with anti-west friendly countries armies to get supplied with various kinds of sophisticated and advanced weapons , despite ongoing attempts to prevent Syria from arms supplies and fear of some countries of upsetting the military balance against the interests of Israel. 

Moreover, the army centered its focus on building the man and maintain his mental , physical and ideological rehabilitation through continued development of military training and educational curricula . 

Today, heroes of the Syrian army continue the same approach in defense of the homeland and to prevent hired terrorists to achieve their cheap goals and uproot mercenaries who seek to undermine Syria ‘s security and stability .

Equipped with high readiness and preparedness, the Syrian army is able to successfully carry out combat missions assigned to them to thwart and crush all hostile acts.

However, analysts confirm that one who tries to or seeks to undermine Syria steadfastness and national sovereignty and destabilize its security must recall the role played by heroes of the Syrian Arab army over the years in defending the just Arab causes and support of resistance forces in the region ,and should also know that the army heroes are not deterred by threats , because they took up their lives on their palms and chose martyrdom as a path to achieve victory .
