After Hurras al-Dien’s statement…Ansar Al-Dien issues a statement opposing Putin – Erdogan agreement and consider it “a burial of the Shami Revolution and crowning of the disastrous path of Astana”
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitored that the jihadist factions operating in Idlib and the Syrian North and which are in control of about 70% of the Russian – Turkish area that is decided to be established and then disarmed, are continuing to issue statements through which they reject and refuse the Russian – Turkish agreement on establishing a joint demilitarized area, extended from Lattakia Mountains to the south western countryside of Aleppo, where after the National Liberation Front’s statement through which it welcomed the agreement and considering it as “a victory for the Turkish diplomacy”, and Hurras al-Dien’s statement that considered the agreement “a conspiracy by the forces of the international evil and infidelity against the Jihadist Project”, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights has received a copy of a statement issued by Ansar Al-Dien Front considering the agreement “a burial of the Shami Revolution and crowning of the disastrous path of Astana” and the statement says:
“(The statement of the Sochi agreement and the completion of burying the Shami Revolution). The Russian Turkish agreement in Sochi, was only a completion and crowning of the disastrous and purposeful path of Astana, and of the other paths that are affiliated to the Shami Revolution, to bury the Revolution and the holy Jihad of its people, through submissive solution which has been paved through: a field reality that participated in the trick of the areas of decreasing the escalation, which led to isolate the areas and eliminate the Jihad and Revolution in it and distribute the areas of influence and benefits between the occupying powers, and to a political reality represented by the writing of the constitution by the occupiers and their puppets until the elections that will reproduce the country of Al-Baath and legalize the occupation”.
And the statement added:
“We in Ansar Al-Dien Front, have repeatedly asserted our rejection to the path of Astana and other paths, and warned against its dangerous results towards our Revolution and Jihad, and we explained that the Syrian North, as being the last stronghold of the Revolution, would not be excluded, the matter which enjoins all of us to engage an existential battle, that requires a correction of the path and a restoration of the decision, through a revolutionary, social, political, security and military movement that rejects the submissive solutions, purifying the revolutionary rank through eliminating the agents, and resisting the occupiers and their puppets in order to win either victory or martyrdom, and whatever this way and its imposition may cost, it is not comparable to the imposition of humiliation and revenge, which will chase even the future generations, thus, we emphasize that we reject the outcomes of Sochi agreement and warn of waiting for the illusion of the international understandings and pursue the phantom of the political solutions and the occupiers’ promises which the reality proves their lying, which was clearly revealed in Homs countryside, Al-Ghouta and the Syrian South, and we call on all our brothers to bear responsibility in this critical stage and to leave their disagreements behind as the battle is existential and our enemy does not differentiate between us, Allah is with us in our Revolution, Jihad, the blood of our martyrs and the suffering of our displaced people, let’s make it a new page of glory in the history of a great revolution and a holy Jihad if Allah wills, and our final prayer is that all praise be to Allah, the Lord of all that exists”.
The Syrian Observatory published yesterday that it monitored contrast in attitudes towards the Russian – Turkish agreement that was reached, on establishing a demilitarized area extends from the north-eastern countryside of Lattakia to the western countryside Aleppo passing through both Idlib and Hama countryside, as at the peak of the National Liberation Front’s welcome and commendation to the agreement and considering it as “a great effort and obvious victory for the Turkish diplomacy”, the organization Hurras al-Dien which is one of the “jihadist” organizations operating in the countryside of Idlib, Hama and Lattakia, hurried to show its attitude towards the agreement through expressing its absolute rejection and considered it as “a conspiracy by the forces of the international evil and infidelity against the Jihadist Project”.
The Syrian Observatory has received a copy of a statement issued by the National Liberation Front says:
“Our people in the Syrian North have received, with a great satisfaction, the news of reaching a Turkish – Russian agreement in Sochi which stopped imminent Russian offensive which would result in the greatest humanitarian tragedy in the modern age, and we in the National Liberation Front appreciate this great effort and obvious victory for the Turkish diplomacy, which defended our issue and make us a part of its national security, amid the International Community’s inaction to support the Syrian people, and we particularly thank the Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan, for his hard efforts and persistent work on preventing this unfair war”.
And the statement added:
“At the same time, we announce our mistrust of the Russian enemy which proved to all, that it does not respect any earlier commitments or agreements and successively invalidated them the rest areas, as well as carrying out massacres, war crimes and forcible displacement against our civilian people under fabricated claims and pretexts, and it was clear, in the successive popular demonstrations, that our people adhere to their revolution and its constants and that they insist on resistance and endurance, and we in the National Liberation Front emphasize to our people at first and to all the world that our fingers will be always on the trigger and we will never give up our weapons, land or revolution during which we paid our dears’ precious blood in order to achieve the goals of this great revolution the head of which are the overthrow of the bloody regime and all of its figures and our people’s freedom and dignity, and we announce our full cooperation with the Turkish ally during their efforts to put the citizens aside the war’s catastrophes, but we will be also aware and cautious for any treachery by the Russians, the regime and the Iranians, especially after they issued statements which proves that this agreement is temporary, and we will never let them to exploit it for their own favors whether militarily or on the ground, and we will collaborate with everyone in order to prevent this to happen”.
In the same context, the SOHR has obtained a copy of Hurras al-Dien’s statement that says:
“The Jihad battlefield in the Levant is going these days, through a decisive and dangerous stage, where the forces of the international evil and infidelity joined to terminate the Jihadist Project in it, thus, they distributed the roles and shared the areas of influence and control, until the Sunnis in the Levant became like orphans on the tables of the mean, as after they have finished their step of using wiliness in which they have kept the areas of conflict aside, the regime, the Russians and the Shiite Militia separated the areas of the Sunnis one after another, and finally confined them in a narrow area in the north, all of this took place under the umbrella of decreasing the escalation and then they started successive steps starting with what they call fighting the terrorism, separating the moderate opposition from the terrorist opposition, demanding a buffer zone, and the disarmament in planned steps, in order to terminate this holy jihad”.
The statement added:
“In previous statements of us and in our meeting with the factions, we warned of this fate which now have been already reached, and we absolutely rejected that secretly and publicly, and we tried, according to our abilities and as possible, to get out of this situation but we could not do more than we did And Allah alone can be sought for help, and we in Hurras al-Dien, announce again our rejection to these conspiracies and all these steps, and we say, as the alive and dead commanders of Jihad said, that we have not fought and taken up arms to remove a tyrant to be replaced then by another tyrant but we have fought for the sake of Allah, and we warn of this great conspiracy and remind you of what happened in Bosnia in the disarmament agreement as after the Muslims handed over their weapons, the Serbs killed them before the forces of the United Nations and raped the women, and we advice our brothers Al-Mujahideen in this decisive and dangerous stage to return to Allah, hold themselves accountable and sincerely repent, then to rearrange the remaining power and abilities to cooperate depending on devotion and piety and start a military operation against the religion’s enemies which corrupts their plans and makes them cause their destruction, as Al-Mujahideen are advancing in their ways and neither those who opposed nor disappointed them will harm them”.
And it concluded the statement saying:
“We call on the sincere Mujahideen not to waste their jihad, their land or their weapons and to be aware of their enemies’ wiliness as they will only accept those who have been disengaged from their religion and jihad, and we call on sincere brothers in all of the Islamic countries to mobilize to the Levant and support people of the Levant, and we also call on those who have funds to spent their money for the sake of Allah and supporting the Shami Jihad as it is a duty over them to support Allah, his Messenger and those who are oppressed in the land, because the Levant is the stronghold of the believers, and we hope that our distinguished scholars and generous Sheikhs and those who have the foresight, experience and wisdom who were rubbed by experiments and who the Jihad and fighting tyrants and infidels became a part of their body and blood, to guide us and guide their sons and brothers Al-Mujahideen at this difficult stage and we consult them as they are the superiors and Ahl Al-Dhikr in which Allah enjoined us to refer to and ask them, and Allah also enjoined us to report and explain the judgments of his religion”.
