Riyadh - DPA - Former Syrian Vice President Abdel Halim Khaddam denounced the statements of Syrian Vice President Farouk Al-Sharaa, considering them part of a policy aimed at severing Syria’s ties with the Arab system and strengthening its connection to Iran’s regional strategy. Khaddam said in an interview with the Saudi newspaper Al-Watan published yesterday that targeting Saudi Arabia is linked to Iran’s regional strategy and the role of the Syrian regime in this strategy is determined by launching a campaign against the Kingdom and its leaders, given that the Kingdom, by virtue of its Arab and international position, constitutes one of the main barriers to the dominance of Iranian interests in the region.
Khaddam stressed that Syria is today ruled by a ruling clique that has disrupted constitutional institutions, wreaked havoc in the country, and instilled terror in the souls of citizens by strengthening the tools of repression and imposing a state of emergency on the country. He said that the campaign began with statements by Bashar al-Assad against the Arab leaders and continued in a focused manner against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia through multiple statements by Al-Sharaa. And others, through the Syrian media and Syrian intelligence agents in Lebanon. He added that the Syrian people are faced with two situations: the first is getting rid of the ruling junta and building a state of law and institutions in which citizens are equal in rights and duties, regardless of religion, sect, race, or gender.
This is how Syria regains its position in the Arab and international arenas and continues the path of advancement and progress. The second case is that, as this regime continues, the suffering of the Syrian people will increase, poverty will increase, unemployment will spread, the severity of economic crises will increase, corruption will destroy the body of the state, and repression will increase. Then the danger lies in the growth of extremism in the face of the regime’s extremism. This may lead to Syria becoming a refuge for extremists from all over the world. In other words, in a few words, the continuation of the regime means the loss of Syria. Khaddam pointed out that Syria is Iraq, and the ruling authority in Syria cannot be corrected because of its dictatorial nature, which produces behavior that conflicts with the interests of the Syrian people.
The Syrian politician stated that the National Salvation Front, which includes a number of opposition political movements and figures, has developed its program to achieve change and is working to provide the reasons for its success. The Front has taken serious steps in its work, and from this day will come, God willing, when the Syrians will set out to overthrow the tyranny. Steps to mobilize the Syrians in preparation On the other hand, regarding the situation in Lebanon, Khaddam affirmed: In any case, I am ready for discussions with any Lebanese, Syrian, Arab, or international party about the situation in Lebanon from the entry of the Syrian forces until leaving the Lebanese file.. What brought the situation in Lebanon is facing more evil and complexity that lies in the security dealings with the Lebanese and in the narrow and satisfactory interests of Bashar al-Assad and his assistants.
