The Assad-Putin summit yesterday did not gain its importance (only) from the lofty expressions exchanged between the two presidents: congratulations on President Assad’s birthday - and his victory in the elections - and with the assertion that people associate the name of His Excellency (His Excellency) with the return of normal life to Syria… Perhaps it is one of the rare moments that arrived The congruence in the positions between the two countries and the two presidents is to this degree of depth, as the two presidential statements are almost identical. It is reported among the observers that the closed session of talks lasted 90 minutes, after which the Syrian foreign and Russian defense ministers joined for an additional 45 minutes. The Syrian-Russian governmental committee also followed up on discussing and approving joint agreements and projects in the fields of agriculture, industry, energy and increasing trade exchange.
In this summit, which came after the Syrian presidential elections, and after the liberation of Daraa from the brunt of terrorism in the context of purging and liberating the rest of the Syrian territories, President Bashar al-Assad emphasized a number of important and remarkable issues, including:
By fighting terrorism, Syria has protected many innocent citizens in this world where terrorism does not stop at political borders - there are countries that place obstacles to liberating the rest of the lands, to fight terrorism, and to launch the political process, so they support the terrorists, and impose a siege on the Syrian people (we describe it as: inhumane) — and immoral — and illegal) — these countries have no interest in the stability of Syria.
This summit also gains its importance from the affirmation and clarification that Syria, as a leader, people and army, is a state with presence, sovereignty, and the ability to continue its steadfastness and to strengthen and develop its approach and work to defeat terrorism and its supporters, liberate its land, and build its institutions that were destroyed by the aggression, and it will not retreat from its strategy. The traditional and continuous (its behavior) in consolidating its role at the local, regional and international levels through a clear identity of the people, the state, and the political system in which the forces of evil and domination work to change this (behavior) that our enemies claim to change, and the necessity of this goal for them, this behavior has been established since the century The past, and will continue because it is: national identity and Arabism - and authentic awareness - and voluntary affiliation.
This summit came in the context of supporting this (behaviour) and supporting this identity in the face of the ongoing aggression against them, an aggression that the US administration and its Zionist-Atlantic tails continue to pursue. Last week, he expressed the concern of his administration and its tails about this behavior, and he said, from some of what he said: (If there is a sustainable end to the conflict in Syria, the “Assad regime” must change its behavior, and we will not think about developing our diplomatic relations with Syria until we see a big change in this Behavior… Caesar’s Law for the Protection of Civilians in Syria… We have seen and noted the benefits that the normalization agreements launched and we urged the countries of the region to do… When they think of normalization, it is in the interest of the Syrian people, and without that we warn the countries wishing to normalize relations with Assad before changing his behavior)!!?. Is there anything more rude than such arrogance and insignificance. On the other hand, disappointment.
It is the Atlanticist Zionism, led by the American administration, that must be aware of the need to change (its behavior), which President al-Assad described at this summit as inhuman, immoral and illegal. An emerging and promising world order whose formulation is contributed by living forces wishing to promote regional and international peace, cooperation and stability, and they cooperate with each other to continue their steadfastness in the face of Zionist aggression against the world. In the strategy of these great living forces, their number is increasing.
This is an opinion that has wide echo and presence in the international community, and we find wide support for it even in western central societies from the free voices of many academics, parliamentarians, military personnel and diplomats - especially retired ones for well-known reasons - so here we (for example) read a recent speech by the American senator and officer Richard Black in which he praised the steadfastness of Syria, and congratulated it on the presidential elections, and denounced the American policy towards it, saying in a symposium at the Chiller International Institute on last March: The globe… We have learned to hate President Assad and to work to destabilize Syria, so we have supported terrorists and stole oil, gas and crops, this madness must stop).
So what behavior should change?
The answer lies in our steadfastness and the consolidation of our relations with honorable and powerful allies and friends in this world in which their role and our role is enhanced. No sane person denies the value of our steadfastness in its upcoming formation.
Our political behavior under the leadership of President al-Assad is our national, Arab and moral identity.
