8:32
issued by the a Syria president Bashar
8:35
Al Assad reads Below in full first my
8:39
departure from Syria was neither planned
8:41
nor did it occur during the final hours
8:43
of the battles as some have claimed on
8:47
the contrary I remained in Damascus
8:50
carrying out my duties until the early
8:53
hours of Sunday the 8 of December
8:56
2024 as terrorist forces infiltrated the
8:59
Damascus I moved to lakia in
9:01
coordination with our Russian allies to
9:04
oversee combat operations upon arrival
9:07
at the M ERS that morning it became
9:10
clear that our forces had completely
9:12
withdrawn from all battle lines and that
9:14
the last Army positions had fallen as
9:17
the field situation in the area
9:19
continued to deteriorate the Russian
9:21
military base itself came under
9:23
intensified attack by drone strikes with
9:27
no viable means of leaving the Bears
9:29
Moscow requested that the vess's command
9:32
arrange an immediate evacuation to
9:34
Russia on the evening of Sunday the 8th
9:36
of December this took place a day after
9:39
the fall of Damascus following the
9:41
collapse of the final military positions
9:44
and the resulting paralysis of all
9:46
remaining State
9:48
institutions at no point during these
9:50
events did I consider stepping down or
9:52
seeking Refuge nor was such a proposal
9:55
made by any individual or party the only
9:59
cuse of action was to continue fighting
10:01
against the terrorist Onslaught with the
10:04
expansion of terrorism in Syria and its
10:08
arrival in the capital Damascus on the
10:10
evening of Saturday December 7
10:12
2024 questions began to be raised about
10:15
the F and location of the president
10:17
amidst a torrent of confusion and
10:19
stories far from the truth which
10:21
constituted support for the process of
10:23
installing International terrorism
10:25
concealed as a Syrian Liberation
10:27
Revolution at a critical historical
10:30
moment in the life of our nation when
10:32
truth should have a place there is
10:35
something that needs to be clarified
10:36
through a brief statement these
10:39
circumstances and the subsequent
10:41
complete sensation of communication for
10:43
security reasons did not allow for a
10:45
statement to be made and its brief
10:48
points do not replace the narration of
10:50
the details of everything that happened
10:52
which I will address at a later time
10:55
when the opportunity arises first of all
10:59
As did not leave the country in a
11:01
planned manner as was rumored nor did I
11:04
leave it during the last hours of the
11:06
battles but rather I remained in
11:08
Damascus following up on my
11:10
responsibilities until the early morning
11:12
hours of Sunday December 8
11:14
2024 with the expansion of terrorism
11:17
inside Damascus I moved in coordination
11:20
with my Russian friends to Latakia to
11:22
follow up on the combat operations from
11:25
there upon arriving at the M ERS in the
11:28
morning it became clear that the forces
11:31
had withdrawn from all the battle lines
11:33
and that the last Army positions had
11:35
fallen with the deterioration of the
11:37
field situation in that area increasing
11:40
and the attack on the Russian military
11:42
base itself being escalated by drones in
11:46
light of the impossibility of leaving
11:48
the b in any direction Moscow asked the
11:51
B leadership to work on securing
11:53
immediate evacuation to Russia on the
11:55
evening of Sunday December 8th the day
11:57
after the fall of Damascus and after the
11:59
fall of the last military positions and
12:02
the subsequent paralysis of the rest of
12:04
the state
12:05
institutions during those events the
12:07
issue of Asylum or resignation was not
12:10
raised by me or by any person or party
12:13
and the only option presented was to
12:15
continue fighting in defense of the
12:17
terrorist attack in this context I
12:21
emphasize that whoever since the first
12:23
day of the war refused to train his
12:26
country's salvation for personal
12:28
salvation to begin with his people with
12:30
various offers and temptations is the
12:33
same person who stood with the officers
12:35
and soldiers of his army on the front
12:37
lines dozens of meters away from the
12:39
terrorists in the hottest and most
12:41
dangerous hot BS of conflict and is the
12:44
same person who did not leave during the
12:46
most difficult years of the war and
12:48
remained with his family and people to
12:51
face terrorism under bombardment and the
12:53
danger of terrorists storming the
12:55
capital more than once during 14 years
12:57
of war and whoever did not abandon the
13:01
known Syrian resistance in Palestine and
13:03
Lebanon and did not betray his allies
13:06
who stood with him cannot be the same
13:08
person who abandons his people to whom
13:11
he belongs or betrays them and his army
13:14
I have never been a person who seeks
13:16
positions on a personal level but rather
13:19
I considered myself the owner of a
13:21
national project that derived its
13:23
support from a people who believed in it
13:27
I carry the certainty of the will of
13:28
that people and their ability to
13:30
preserve their state and defend its
13:32
institutions and choices until the last
13:35
moment with the fall of the state into
13:38
the hands of terrorism and the loss of
13:40
the ability to provide anything the
13:43
position becomes empty and meaningless
13:45
and there is no meaning to remaining
13:47
responsible in it this does not mean in
13:51
any way abandoning the authentic
13:53
National affiliation to Syria and its
13:55
people a fixed affiliation that is not
13:57
changed by position or circumstance
14:00
affiliation filled with hope that cial
14:02
will return free and
14:06
independent forers who are bringing you
14:09
the needs in a more Digital Way
