The regime’s last desperate attempts in the last few days to push the Syrian people who is aspiring for freedom towards sectarian tension is clear evidence of the failure of the regime, which already threw all his cards and kept the sedition card, that scarecrow that helped the regime to intimidate the Syrian street. The regime started waving this card since the beginning of the uprising, but faced a popular awareness which was strongest than all these attempts.
The history of co-existence, common struggle and unity of causes, fate and blood… alongside relations and mutual brotherhood among all sects, creeds and races, which formed the core of Syrian community throughout its long history, is not a legacy created by the regime or an exception related to its existence. This regime tried, like all other authoritarian regimes, to use the natural diversity composing the Syrian people as a guarantee of survival and continuation of the reigning autocracy, by trying clearly to sow discord and spread the spirit of discrimination and intimidation from the other.
On the basis of our belief in this truth and our full awareness and absolute confidence in the unity of the components of the Syrian people and their demands, we, the sons of Latakia Governorate, with our different sectarian, religious, intellectual and political affiliations, we stress that we will not be tempted by the regime’s practices and methods to destabilize the ranks of the Syrian people, and its attempts to create a climate of intolerance and rivalry among family members. We also refuse and reject anyone who tries to violate the sanctity of our historical coexistence regardless of his affiliation. We dissociate ourselves from all forms of violence that the regime is trying hard to accuse and drag us to it and we hold the regime fully responsible of it and will express that clearly in the coming days through banners and chants in our protest .
And once again, we stress that our uprising for freedom, dignity and democracy is totally peaceful.
Long live Syria .. and glory to the martyrs
