The former Syrian Vice President, Abdel Halim Khaddam, launched a violent attack on the regime of President Bashar al-Assad, warning of his political maneuvers during the upcoming negotiations and the danger of toppling him without toppling his regime. He also expected that the new Syrian army that would be established after Assad’s departure from power would enter Lebanon to uproot Hezbollah warned the Arab countries that Iran's influence would reach them if it were victorious in Damascus
Khaddam said, in a video recording of more than 22 minutes that his supporters showed at dawn yesterday. A few days ago, an agreement was made between America and Russia to hold a conference in Geneva for the sake of Syria and to reach a negotiated solution to the bloody crisis. Unfortunately, the two countries did not take into account that any dialogue is not between two parallel forces. The strongest will prevail. Bashar al-Assad has all the means to kill and destroy, and the Syrian people have faith in God and the determination to liberate without weapons
Khaddam added, “If we assume that an agreement to form a government is an agreement between representatives of the opposition and the regime, then this government will be one of the opportunities given to Bashar al-Assad for more killing and destruction, and this government will not be able to take any decision. If the opposition requests the dismissal of any official or officer from the regime group, he will face opposition, and therefore this is the case.” The government will remain idle
Khaddam questioned the validity of the representation of the Syrian National Coalition, saying that it was originally established on the ruins of the National Council with the aim of preparing it to negotiate with the regime, adding that the coalition does not have the ability or authority to negotiate in the name of the Syrian people. The only body that has this legitimacy is a comprehensive national conference whose foundation is inside Syria, those citizens. Those who fight for freedom and salvation
Khaddam continued by saying that this matter will take a long time until the end of the presidential term of the murderer Bashar al-Assad. Then a new phase will begin. This phase will be full of possibilities. The departure of Bashar al-Assad does not mean the departure of the regime. Bashar is the head of the regime while the regime is an institution established by Hafez al-Assad in the early 1970s and he considered it An alternative to the state and replaced constitutional institutions
Khaddam, who defected from Bashar al-Assad’s regime in 2005, months after the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, saw the conflict not only between the Syrian people and Bashar al-Assad, but between the people and Bashar al-Assad and the regime founded by Hafez al-Assad, and the difference between father and son is Iranian interference. After the assassination of Hariri, Bashar had no way to protect himself and his regime except to throw himself into the arms of Iran, which gave him Hezbollah to use at any time and place.
According to the former Syrian official, Hezbollah did not appreciate the seriousness of what it did by entering Syrian territory and killing Syrians. He added that this matter will backfire. The regime will fall and the new regime in Syria will enter Lebanon and uproot Hezbollah.. Syrian blood is not cheap. Hezbollah will pay its price after it becomes... The Syrian people are masters of themselves
Khaddam accused the Syrian regime of throwing the Alawite sect into a conflict in which it has no interest, adding that this regime will pay the price and all those who supported it and fought with it will be held accountable. Mediation or international pressure will not be able to save the criminals. He also accused Iran of using sectarian tension to turn Shiites in the world into dormant forces that it can use. When her interests are needed
Khaddam addressed the Arab countries by saying that the Arabs must realize the danger of what is happening in Syria, not only to Syria but to the region. If Iran wins in Damascus, it will not stop at the limits of this victory, but rather will come to everyone and impose its policy. What is surprising is why the United States and some Western countries on Iran? He concluded by greeting the Syrians, saying, no matter how difficult the circumstances are or how complicated they are, you will prevail
