In a statement on Saturday, the Syrian Coalition stressed its “full commitment to the demands and aspirations of the Syrian people, which they revolted and sacrificed to achieve.” These demands and aspirations have guided the Coalition’s work since its inception. The Coalition emphasizes that its relations with friendly countries are based on mutual respect for the rights of the Syrian people, their aspirations, and their freedom to make independent decisions according to their national interests.
“It is the right of these countries to build their policies in a way that preserves their interests and national security,” the statement said, adding that the Coalition “affirms its keenness to strengthen relations with them in a way that serves common national interests and achieves the legitimate aspirations of the Syrian people, and the prosperity and progress of their countries and peoples.” The Coalition stresses the need to avoid those who promote enmity rather than friendship to weaken the revolution and divide its ranks.
The Coalition appealed to “free” Syrians to be wise and not be drawn into rumours and fake news that the Assad regime seeks to spread to differentiate between the sons of the same people and between them and their institutions since the first spark of the revolution in 2011. The regime aims to make Syrians enemies of each other and seeks to weaken their relations with any friendly country, without naming any of those countries.
