TEHRAN (FNA)- Thousands of Syrians took to the streets in the Northern
province of Idlib on Monday to show their strong support for President
Bashar al-Assad and his government.
More than 8,000 people gathered in Ibrahim Hanano square in Idlib
to voice their hatred for terrorists and renew their support for the
Syrian government and army as government troops made major advancements
in various parts of the country.
The Syrian army killed a terrorist ringleader, Emad Eissa al-Amari,
in Reef (outskirts of) Daraa on Monday. The Syrian army also made
great advancements in Western Reef (outskirts of) Homs today, and
repelled a terrorist attack on the area.
The army pushed back a terrorist attack on a military check post
near the Mihan town in the Western part of Reef Homs. At least,
27 terrorists were killed in heavy clashes today.
The army also purged terrorists from key areas in Central Homs. The
Syrian troops advanced in Asvaq Abu al-Oaf town today. The army also
found a chamber in the town of al-Vaar which has been used by the
terrorists for torturing the people and army soldiers.
Popular support for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has grown as
20,000 volunteers will join the Syrian army by next week. This can
help end the Syrian crisis in a shorter time, military analysts say.
Last week, people across Syria took to the streets to show their
support and solidarity with President Assad and the Syrian army after
Assad called for a diplomatic solution to his country's crisis and
also a halt to foreign military and financial backups for the armed
rebel groups fighting the government.
After President Assad's speech, people in tens of thousands took
to the streets in different cities across the country to show their
support for the president's policies.
In Homs, people in various districts, including Shaare' Al-Hazareh,
Wadi Al-Dahab, Akramatel Jadidah, Hayezzahra and Armen marched in
support of President Assad and the Syrian Army and asked for the exit
of terrorists and armed groups from different parts of Homs.
During his speech at Damascus University on January 6, President Assad
proposed a three-staged plan for forming the national unity government.
The Syrian president underlined the need for continuing fights against
the terrorists in his country.
President Assad said his country is being subjected to an unprecedented
attack, adding that the conflict can only be solved through a popular
movement.
Addressing the nation in a rare speech and his first since June,
he said his forces were fighting groups of "murderous criminals".
President Assad said Syria will not take dictates from anyone.
He called on all Syrians to take part in an initiative that would
end the nearly 22-month old conflict, but did not give any details
on the plan.
Syria has been experiencing unrest since March 2011 with organized
attacks by well-armed gangs against Syrian police forces and border
guards being reported across the country.
The US and its western and regional allies have long sought to
topple Assad and his ruling system. Media reports said that the
Syrian rebels and terrorist groups have received significantly more
and better weapons in recent weeks, a crime paid for by the Persian
Gulf Arab states and coordinated by the United States.
The US daily, Washington Post, reported in May that the Syrian
rebels and terrorist groups battling the President Bashar al-Assad's
government have received significantly more and better weapons in
recent weeks, a crime paid for by the Persian Gulf Arab states and
coordinated by the United States.
The newspaper, quoting opposition activists and US and foreign
officials, reported that Obama administration officials emphasized
the administration has expanded contacts with opposition military
forces to provide the Persian Gulf nations with assessments of rebel
credibility and command-and-control infrastructure.
Opposition activists who several months ago said the rebels were
running out of ammunition said in May that the flow of weapons - most
bought on the black market in neighboring countries or from elements
of the Syrian military in the past - has significantly increased after
a decision by Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other Persian Gulf states to
provide millions of dollars in funding each month.
