Al-Assad Inspects Army Units in Daraya: Victory Our Motto, Target

as0On the occasion of the Syrian Arab Army’s Day, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad visited Daraya in Damascus countryside, inspecting a unit of the armed forces tasked with protecting the citizens and restoring security and stability to the area.

Al-Assad congratulated the armed forces on the army’s day, addressing them “He who gets down to the field with our armed forces and shake hands with their men is honored… any citizen will be honored by shaking hands with any fighter of the Syrian Arab army.”

“Being with you on this day, we feel that we are with each fighter in the Syrian Arab army in all place of the homeland’s squares… when we shake hands with you, we shake hands with each fighter in Syria,” he added.

In parallel, the Syrian President stated: “Our visit today was to thank the Syrian Arab Army’s soldiers, by the name of citizens in Syria and by the name of each honest citizen, as they carry on the war of homeland, all homeland, and this is a thanking letter from each citizen.”
“The outcomes on the land speak… starting from Baba Amro into al-Qseir crossing the eastern Ghoutta… and today in Daraya and al-Khaldiye… we are very satisfied with your performance, but the most important thing is that the achievement of the Syrian Arab army became a matter of analysis in the whole world.. All analyze… What happens… and how could the Syrian Arab army withstand,” the he highlighted.

Al-Assad further clarified that the secret lies in the ideology of the Syrian Arab army, saying “of course, a lot of people don’t understand what the concept of an ideological army is, but an army to be ideological is the basis for any armed forces in the world, and even for the professional armies.”
“How many zero hours they set for now… from the beginning of the year till today there are 14 zero-hours they have set to attack Damascus, but in each zero-hour, you were shifting them into zeros, they, their plots and those who stand behind them,” the President said.
The Head of the Syrian state also affirmed that usually the mottos come in the front and the practice comes after, but, this time, and through the Syrian Arab army, the practice came before the motto.

Moreover, al-Assad inspected another unit of the forces working in Daraya during which he underlined that the strength of the army comes from its sons. “When we say the army of the people, this means that the army defends the people, but at the same time, the people defend the army.
“Without you, there were no universities, schools, bread or water… without you, Syria was a matter of refugees, perhaps abroad… without you, we all were slaves for the states which want us to bow.”
Meanwhile, he highlighted that throughout history, the Syrian people have never accepted to be salves, this has never happened in the last history, not in the present and it is not allowed to be in the future.

“Our motto has always been martyrdom or victory, but, since the outbreak of the battles, our motto became victory… martyrdom is a destiny.. But our target is victory.. All the people await for the victory through the Syrian army, so we have to stand hand in hand, and as you stand by the people, so the people stand by you,” the President added.
