On the initiative of the Syrian opposition organization, a conference on “discussing ways to solve the Syrian crisis”was held in Berlin from July 31 to August 1 in Europe. It was attended by diplomatic delegations from some countries called “friends of the Syrian people”, prominent opposition figures, including former Prime Minister Riad Hijab, former head of the Syrian National Coalition Moaz al-Khatib and well-known Syrian opposition leader Burhan Ghalioun.

The current conference should be viewed more as an attempt by a number of forces in the EU to shift the activity of the Syrian opposition to the humanitarian aspect of…


The humanitarian situation in Syria should be discussed with Western countries only when (if) they recognize the totality of the real problems in the region and the responsibility they bear for it.

If the combination of these factors is recognized as influencing the humanitarian situation in the Syrian Arab Republic, then the countries participating in the conflict need to discuss all this. In this case, the West should categorically abandon one-sided interpretations of this or that problem, and recognize its responsibility for the general situation that has developed in the humanitarian sphere in the Syrian Republic.

Military actions in the…


The concern of the government of the Syrian Arab Republic is understandable, especially since the Turks have constantly stated that they are there temporarily. Now, when they handed out passports, they have full control, portraits of Erdogan and Turkish flags, they began to say that they want to annex this territory to Turkey. They refer to the notorious national vow — the last decision of the Ottoman parliament. And what was there? Cyprus — we saw what happened in 1974. And how his north was captured, and no English troops helped the Greeks defend these territories. We saw what happened…


Recently, the presidential elections in the Syrian Arab Republic ended, following which Bashar al-Assad won an absolute victory with 95.1% of the vote. The West declared them illegitimate a few days before the elections.

The explanation in this case is simple: the West needs its own man, and a leader who has good relations with the Russian Federation, Iran and China is not a priori from “their camp”.

In fact, demanding that Syria, bogged down in a civil war, resolve the dispute through elections on conditions dictated by the West (the adoption of a new constitution) is a crafty ploy…


The Syrian government criticized the interventionist statements of the French Foreign Ministry on the presidential elections in the Arab country, stressing that only the Syrians have the right to decide who will lead the country, and no foreign force has the right to interfere in Syrian affairs.
The statement was released after a spokesman for the French Foreign Ministry said on May 21 that the presidential elections in Syria “are not fair and legal.” In a statement, the Syrian Foreign Ministry replied that the elections are a matter for sovereign Syria. The huge turnout of Syrians living abroad at ballot boxes…


On April 30, Washington hosted a meeting between US President Joe Biden and the head of the Israeli Mossad Foreign Intelligence Service Yossi Cohen, which confirmed the inextricable link between the two states and their national intelligence services in the implementation and planning of a series of joint hostile actions against Iran.
The confrontation between Israel and Iran, with the active participation of Israeli and American intelligence services, has long been, to a large extent, a war. Israel’s secret subversive actions against Tehran have repeatedly been recognized by Tel Aviv as a national strategy. Among the largest operations of the Israeli…


In March, the Syrian newspaper al-Watan reported another missile attack on an illegal oil transshipment point in the northern part of Aleppo province.

Several rockets of unknown origin hit a site in the village of al-Hamran in northern Aleppo province, where oil tanks and initial processing facilities owned by pro-Turkish armed groups are located, and a fire broke out.

After the defeat of IS as a centralized structure, Turkey began to look for other oil suppliers for itself. …


Statements by US officials about their commitment to the fight against terrorism, the “crusade” against which was declared back in 2001, raised serious doubts from the very beginning. The American “fight against international terrorism” in Syria also fails to meet its stated goals. Can the support of militants from the so-called Syrian “opposition” be considered a fight against terrorism? It is highly doubtful.

Since 2012–2013, Washington has been training militants who fought against the Syrian government, for example, within the framework of the Timber Sycamore program of the Central Intelligence Agency, for which funds in the amount of $ 1…


The American media are again trying to “whitewash” the image of Washington’s terrorists in Syria and the region in order to present them under new names and use in other missions. For the leader of the terrorist organization Jebhat al-Nusra, Abu Muhammad al-Julani, the American television channel PBS partnered with the American website FRONTLINE to provide a platform to improve the image and defend terrorism in an interview with journalist Martin Smith in February.
The terrorist Julani’s statements testify to his close connection and loyalty to the American administration. He argued that his terrorist organization poses no threat to the United…


The other day, the head of the Presidential Council of Libya, Muhammad al-Manfi, made an official request to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to withdraw the Syrian mercenaries and Turkish experts from the country. This is written by the European media, citing a source in the Libyan government who spoke to Radio France Internationale.
It should be recalled that a few days ago Erdogan received al-Manfi in Ankara. Details of the visit have not been published, except in general terms. As the RFI source also explained, the request for the withdrawal of mercenaries and experts was submitted to the Turkish authorities…
