Syrian Army Invites Citizens of Qusseir to Return Home

Source : Fars News Agency

TEHRAN (FNA)- The Syrian Army asked citizens of al- Qusseir to return to their homes after it regained full control of the strategic town.

"We ensure Qusseir is safe now," the Syrian army announced on Wednesday.

It stressed that the victory in Qusseir is a clear message to the enemies of the country, particularly the Israeli regime.

Also on Wednesday, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Amir Abdollahian felicitated the Syrian nation and government on the army's full control over the town of al-Qusseir.

Syria's state television reported that Syrian forces have regained full control of the strategic city of Qusseir following three weeks of fighting with the militants in the region.

The Syrian military forces dismantled the terrorist network of the militants in the strategic area, which borders Lebanon.

Many of the foreign-backed militants and members of the armed groups were killed or injured during the Syrian army operations to cleanse the region of the terrorists.

Speaking to FNA, Amir Abdollahian congratulated the Syrian nation, government, and army on the success of the Syrian military forces in Qusseir.

He also condemned the shipment of arms to the militants in the Arab country, and said, "Certain parties, who are still supporting arms shipment and terrorist acts against Syria, are responsible for massacre of people and devastation of Syria and should be tried as war criminals."

Syria could confront Israel: Assad

Source : http://old.mehrnews.com

TEHRAN, May 8 (MNA) – Syrian President Bashar al-Assad say Damascus “has the ability to confront adventurist actions by apartheid Israel.”

During his first public comment after the Zionist invasion, Assad said that Damascus “has the ability to confront venturous actions of apartheid Israel.”

Assad made these remarks after meeting with Ali Akbar Salehi, the Iranian Foreign Minister. Syrian president also said apartheid Israel is supporting the terrorists in his country.

Syrian President also thanked the rational positions of the Islamic Republic of Iran on Syria and believed that the terrorist groups’ actions in Syria were futile.

Assad continued: “the future belongs to the people of Syria and those who have moderate views on the political process in this country,” stressing his support for the resistance movement against the apartheid regime.

Ali Akbar expressed support of Iranian people and government for the Syrian nation, and praised their resistance against the recent attack by the Zionist regime in Syria.

Condemning the recent action of the extremist groups’ desecration of Islamic shrines and destroying mosques, Salehi said that “it is the proof of the extremism and lack of their logics, that, they proceed to do such heinous actions disregarding the beliefs of Muslims.”

Syria calls on France to stop interfering in country’s affairs

Source : LBCI News

Damascus has called on the French government to stop its intervention in the country’s internal affairs, after Paris considered the general amnesty issued by President Bachar Assad on Wednesday ‘void’ in terms that it does not exempt him from the crimes he has so far committed.

In a statement released by the Syrian Foreign Ministry, Damascus said the Syrian people will no longer welcome the French for their support of ‘terrorist cells’ inside the country. The statement also added that the general amnesty was issued on a significant date marking the withdrawal of French troops from Syria in April 1946.

On the other hand, the General Secretariat of the Council of Arab Interior Ministers of the Arab League, denounced the closure of the Arab Interpol Bureau based in Damascus, holding the regime responsible for the safety of its employees.

In the details, forces from the Syrian Interior Ministry stormed the office and tampered with its contents, taking over the bureau’s archives and expelling all staff before shutting down the entire building.

Meanwhile, reports emerged citing US fear of a rebel victory in Syria. According to the Wall Street Journal, the US administration believes that "Islamists would come out on top should the rebels win the fight". "Islamists tied to al-Qaeda increasingly dominating the opposition to Syrian President Bachar al-Assad, [will present] too swift a rebel victory [therefore] undercutting hopes for finding a diplomatic solution," the paper quoting officials from the Obama administration said.

"This assessment complicates the White House's long-standing push to see President Assad step from power. It also puts a spotlight on the U.S.'s cautious approach to helping the opposition, much to the frustration of U.S. allies including France and the U.K., which want to arm Syria's moderate rebels," the daily added.

Meanwhile, Syrian activists said a rocket attack by government forces has killed at least seven people in a village near the central city of Homs. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the attack on the village of Eastern Buwaydah took place Wednesday morning, adding that children were among those killed.

Eastern Buwaydah is located between Homs and the Lebanese border.

Observatory director Rami Abdul-Rahman reported heavy fighting Wednesday in the area between government troops and rebels trying to topple President Bashar Assad's regime.

This as the UN-Arab League Syria envoy Lakhdar Brahimi hopes to revamp his role as an international peace mediator in the Syrian conflict as a United Nations envoy without any official link to the Arab bloc, UN diplomats said on Tuesday.

Brahimi has become increasingly frustrated with the league's moves to recognize the Syrian opposition, which he feels has undermined his role as a neutral mediator, diplomats told Reuters on condition of anonymity.

Another UN diplomat confirmed the remarks. There have been rumors circulating for weeks that Brahimi might resign, though diplomats said his preference was to remain involved in Syrian peace efforts through the United Nations, an organization he has worked with for decades.

Brahimi will present an update to the UN Security Council on Friday about the situation in Syria's two-year-old civil war, which the UN says has claimed more than 70,000 lives. "We expect Brahimi to offer another bleak report," a diplomat said.

The Arab League has suspended Syria's membership and last month invited opposition leaders Moaz Alkhatib and Ghassan Hitto to attend a summit in his place.

The Syrian National Coalition, an opposition bloc recognized by the Arab League as the sole representative for conflict- torn Syria, opened its first embassy in Qatar last month in a diplomatic blow to President Bashar al-Assad.

Assad said earlier this month that "the Arab League itself lacks legitimacy."

Daily death tolls in Syria of around 200 are not uncommon, monitoring groups say. More than a million refugees have fled the country and the Syrian Red Crescent says nearly 4 million have been displaced internally.

US-Israel led Al-Nusra-Front rapes the Free Army militants

Source : Islamic Invitation Turkey

Both Al-Nusra, that resides under the umbrella of Al-Qaeda, and the ‘Free Army’ have several times coincided and fought against each other on the loots, something which may not be new. However; local sources informed our network from inside the city of Idlib that a new milestone which can be considered as a turning point in the usual fighting since a month ago as the battalions and brigades of the rebels have withdrawn from the circumference of Wadi-Al-Daif and Al-Hamidiah strategic sites in Ma’arat-Al-Nowman town in Idlib countryside.

The source maintained as 10 of the ‘Free Army’ militants were kidnapped by Al-Nusra, those militants who follow their leader jamal-Ma’arouf in Idlib, were taken, tortured and sexually ‘raped’.The main reason of this incident was because of the withdrawal of the ‘Free Army’ militants from Ma’arat-Al-Nowman in a battle against the Syrian Army leaving Al-Nusra alone in the battle which caused them heavy casualties.Incidents of hostage- exchange have increased lately between the two sides along with mediators for the increasing tension especially where retaliation started to appear where every side now is only aiming to prove their domination and existence

Annan says Iran will support democratic solution to Syria crisis

Source : Tehran Times

TEHRAN - Former UN secretary general Kofi Annan said on Thursday that Iran has told him that it would support a democratic solution to the Syria crisis.

Annan, who served until August as the UN-Arab League special envoy on Syria, said that he sensed support for a democratic solution in Syria when he visited Tehran in July and met with three top Iranian officials, including President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, AFP reported.

“They all had the same message when I pushed them – that… we accept that Assad may have to go, but the Syrian people should be allowed to decide through elections, even if it’s organized under UN authority,” Annan said.

“One choice phrase they gave me is that ‘democracy is a solution, democracy is the answer in Syria,’” Annan said at the Brookings Institution, a think tank.

President Ahmadinejad said on Wednesday that Iran believes free elections are the right way to help resolve the 19-month-old conflict in Syria.

“Anyone who is the friend of the Syrian people should try to form the basis for free elections in the country,” Ahmadinejad told reporters after an Asian summit in Kuwait.

Annan says Iran backs democratic elections in Bahrain

Annan also stated that the Iranian leaders did not limit calls for democracy to Syria but also made clear they would push for a similar path in Bahrain.

Foreign weapons fueling conflict in Syria

Annan renewed his call for a peaceful solution to the crisis and warned that foreign weapons were only fueling a conflict said to have claimed more than 34,000 lives.

Iran has denied U.S. charges that it has shipped arms to Syria.

The United States has said that it is only providing non-lethal support to Syria’s opposition but Saudi Arabia and Qatar have been widely reported to have sent weapons to rebels.

Annan denounced arms shipments, saying that Syria was “almost into a sectarian war” that could spread beyond the region.

“I have said in the past that Syria, unlike Libya, will not implode but is likely to explode -- and explode beyond its borders,” Annan said.

“Some governments have made the calculation that the fastest way to end the conflict in Syria is to arm one side or the other to have total victory over the other side,” he said.

“It’s not going to happen. They’re only going to get more people killed,” he said.

Army troops hammer insurgents near Syrian capital: paper

English.news.cn 2012-10-07 15:49:31

DAMASCUS, Oct. 7 (Xinhua) -- The Syrian army has continued tracking down armed insurgent groups in some eastern hotspots of the capital Damascus, in which it used the air force to hammer their hideouts, the pro-government al-Watan daily reported Sunday.

The army operation took place at hotspots of the eastern al- Ghouta area, the report said, adding that intense clashes have taken place at al-Shaifoniah and Otaya suburbs after the armed men tried to attack a military barrack there.

The clashes, the paper said, led to the damaging of an electricity high-tension tower and caused a blackout in most areas in eastern Ghouta.

Al-Watan also said the army cleansed the western Damascus' suburb of Qudsiah from armed insurgency.

Meanwhile, in central Homs province, the paper said the Syrian troops had killed about 165 armed men at al-Khalidieh and some old districts, adding that another 40 were killed at al-Rastan, just outside Homs.

In another suburb of Homs, al-Watan said the army has unleashed a huge firepower to purge al- Qusair town of armed insurgency, while the activists Local Coordination Committees (LCC) reported heavy airstrikes at al-Jousieh area in al-Qusair, which has largely spiraled out of the government's control over the past months.

The LCC also reported intense fighting between the armed rebels and government troops at al- Midan district of northern Aleppo province, where the al-Watan daily boasted the army's advancement and claimed that the armed rebels had retreated along with other extremists groups linked to the al-Qaida terror network from some districts in that crucial city.

Syrian troops regain control of 2 rebellious suburbs of Damascus

English.news.cn 2012-10-08 00:09:55

DAMASCUS, Oct. 7 (Xinhua) -- The Syrian troops totally purged two restive suburbs of the capital Damascus on Sunday from armed insurgency and announced them secure, the state-TV said.

Qudsaiah and Hameh have emerged as strongholds for armed rebels over the past few months, before the Syrian troops unleashed an offensive last week to recuperate the two adjunct suburbs from the rampant insurgency there.

Meantime, the sounds of sporadic shellfire have reverberated Sunday in several districts of Damascus, in what appeared to be ongoing military showdown in other restive suburbs.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which has a network of activists on ground, said mortar shells landed at al-Qadam suburb of Damascus on Sunday, giving no further details on casualties at that battered countryside.

The Observatory said a rebel fighter was killed during clashes with government forces at the eastern Ghouta suburb Sunday.

Another activists' network, the Local Coordination Committees, placed the death toll of the people who got killed so far Sunday at 75, blaming the government forces of being behind the daily violence.

However, the activists' accounts could not be confirmed independently.

Meanwhile, Syria's official media said army troops repulsed an attack by armed rebels at the Hanano barracks in the northern city of Aleppo, killing many of them.

The Hanano barracks have been attacked several times over the past several months, during whic the armed rebels had managed to enter parts of the barracks but were later flushed out by the Syrian troops.

Sources have said that the Syrian army had recently sent a group of elite forces to Aleppo in hope of regaining full control over the sprawling crucial province, whose edges stretch to the Turkish borders.

Separately, an official source denied media reports circulating on some Arab TV news stations tha a Syrian jet fighter was downed earlier in the day by the rebels in eastern Deir al-Zour province.

Syrian Rebels Claim Capturing President Assad’s Cousin | World | Via: RIA Novosti

Syrian rebels have claimed capturing Housam al-Assad, the cousin of President Bashar al-Assad, the Saudi-owned news channel Al Arabiya reported on Sunday.

Assad’s cousin was arrested by the al-Farouq brigade of the Free Syrian Army (FSA), Sheikh Adnan Al Arour, a Sunni Muslim preacher and a major Salafist leader in Syria, announced on his Twitter account.

“Housam al-Assad, the cousin of Bashar has been captured,” Sheikh Arour said.

The 73-year-old Arour fled Syria under the rule of Hafez Al Assad following the 1982 massacre in his hometown of Hama and settled in Saudi Arabia ever since. He has become one of the symbolic figures of the Syrian uprising against the Assad regime.

The Syrian conflict has claimed up to 20,000 lives according to various Syrian opposition groups. The UN puts the death toll at over 18,000 people. The Syrian authorities say 8,000 were killed.

The West is pushing for President Bashar al- Assad’s ouster while Russia and China are trying to prevent outside interference in Syria, saying that the Assad regime and the opposition are both to blame for the bloodshed.

DAMASCUS, (SANA) – The Syrian Armed Forces on Saturday marked the 39th anniversary of the October Liberation War that restored the Arab nation's pride, dignity and influential presence in the international arena and boosted its standing among the nations and peoples of the world.

Syrian opposition warns city of Homs could fall to al-Assad forces

Via: Trend.Az

7 October 2012, 17:30 (GMT+05:00)

Syrian government forces have sent reinforcements to central Homs and could gain complete control of the besieged city, a major opposition group warned Sunday, dpa reported.

"The criminal regime has dispatched extra troops to tighten the inhuman siege of the city," the Syrian National Council said in a brief statement.

"Homs' fall will mark a serious turning point in the course of events, subjecting the present and future of Syria as well as the region to great perils."

Opposition rebel forces and troops loyal to President Bashar al-Assad have been fighting in and around Homs for about four months.

The city has been a focal point in the uprising against al-Assad that began in March last year.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said government troops stepped up their shelling of Homs on Sunday and clashes between troops and rebels taking place inside the city claimed casualties on both sides.

News from Syria cannot be independently verified, as most foreign media are barred from the conflict-torn country.

Iran reacts to Syrian rebels’ threat to kill 48 kidnapped Iranians - Trend.Az

Azerbaijan, Baku, Oct. 6 /Trend D.Khatinoglu/

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehmanparst said that Syrian rebels and their supporters are responsible for safety of 48 Iranians who were kidnapped in Syria, IRIB news reported today.

Though a video released on You Tube, Syrian rebels said they will kill a group of Iranians captured in Syria in August after 48 hours, if Syrian regime and Iran do not put end to strike over Syrian citizens.

Syrian rebels say that this group consists of members of Iran's military force, IRGC.

Head of the Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Mohammad-Ali Jafari confirmed in September that Iran had former members of the Guard in Syria, but he said that this does not mean Iran's military presence over there.

Earlier, Iran's Foreign Minister Ali-Akbar Salehi said that some of kidnapped persons are retired military officers who went to Syria as pilgrims.

Mehmanparst said that Syrian rebels use Iranian kidnapped citizens as "humanitarian shield in the war with government".

Bloodshed between the Syrian government and opposition groups has continued for 19 months, leaving more than 24,000 victims. In August, more than 3,000 Syrians were killed.

Iran strongly defends the Syrian government.

Free Syrian Army Fighters Killed on Lebanon's border

Source:  RIA Novosti

Dozens of fighters of Free Syrian Army (FSA) have been killed in a large-scale operation of government forces in Homs province, near the border with Lebanon, Lebanon-based Al- Mayadeen TV reported on Saturday.

A base of one of the armed groups near a village of al-Qusayr was destroyed. 40 rebels including the leader of the group were killed.

Government forces and armed opposition waged battles in the northern Syrian city of Aleppo. The battle for the bridge in Sahour neighborhood lasts for the second day. This bridge is of great strategic importance to both sides as control over it allows rebels to communicate with the province, where they get reinforcements, weapons and ammunition and for the government forces it provides access to the eastern districts of Aleppo that are controlled by the rebels.

Several militants, four of them Turkish citizens, were killed on Saturday in the other district of Aleppo, Bustan al-Qasr, Syrian news agency SANA reported. Government forces repelled the attack of armed militants who “supposedly came from Turkey” in the north of Aleppo, said in the statement.

The Syrian conflict has claimed up to 20,000 lives according to various Syrian opposition groups. The UN puts the death toll at over 18,000 people. The Syrian authorities say 8,000 were killed.

Turkey retaliates after Syrian mortar shell lands in southern Turkey

ANKARA, Oct. 6 (Xinhua) -- Turkey fired back after a mortar shell believed to be fired by Syrian troops at opposition groups on the border landed Saturday morning in southern Turkey, an officia statement said.

"The Syrian mortar shell landed close to a rural area near the Guvecci village of Yayladagi town of Hatay province. Turkey retaliated against Syria by firing four mortar shells on Syria," said the statement issued by Hatay Governor's Office on its website.

Turkey and Syria have been exchanging fire sporadically on the border for days, after a mortar shell from the Syrian side fell Wednesday in the Turkish border town of Akcakale in the southeastern Sanliurfa province and killed five Turks.

On Friday, a Syrian mortar shell fell at a spot about 50 meters away from the border in Hatay's Asagipulluyazi village. Turkish army "fired back at targets" within Syria, but did not cause any casualties, said Hatay Governor Mehmet Celalettin Lekesiz.

The Turkish government said Wednesday in a statement that "Our armed forces in border region have given the required response in line with the rule of engagements. Targets in Syria, which were detected by radar, were shot by shelling."

"Turkey will never remain unresponsive against these sorts of provocations of Syrian regime withi the framework of rules of engagement and international law," the statement added.

In an emergency session on Thursday, Turkish parliament approved a motion for cross-border military operations inside Syria.

Ankara has repeatedly complained about the spillover of Syrian artillery and gun fire into its territory. Last week, the Turkish government signaled that it would take action if mortar strikes were repeated on its territory from Syria.

Turkey, once an ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad but now a leading voice urging him to quit, shelters more than 90,000 Syrian refugees and has provided Syrian rebel army leaders with sanctuary.
