A Petition to Russian President Putin Regarding Syria

It is a direct enchantment to the Russian management, and to President Vladimir Putin personally, about Syria: the one true ally Russia ever had, an ally Russia bought cheaply to NATO member Turkey, and handed to Israel without cost.

The Petition:

We, the Syrian individuals, joined by individuals of conscience all over the place, name on President Vladimir Putin to choose up the cellphone to his good friend, the top of Al Qaeda HTS in Syria, Al Jolani, and get him to declare a basic amnesty now, liberating each political prisoner, together with all ranks of the Syrian Arab Military, former state officers, and the Muslim clergy of all sects.

Motive for the Petition:

On orders handed down by means of their very own command facilities, and after greater than 13.5 years preventing terrorists on tons of of fierce battles on greater than 40 open fronts, the Syrian Armed Forces, the Syrian Arab Military in full, the safety companies, and the workers of the Ministries of Inside and Protection, all laid down their weapons and walked away from their posts with out firing a shot on the advancing Al Qaeda HTS terrorists. They prevented a massacre that day, solely to pay for it later: hunted, persecuted, and massacred, together with their households, by the very individuals they refused to struggle.

How did US-led, NATO-sponsored, Russia-approved Al Qaeda HTS terrorists take over a whole nation with out a struggle? How did President Bashar al-Assad and his household vanish, just for Russian authorities to later declare, with no proof of life, that they’d taken refuge in Russia? Syrians have each purpose to imagine the reply lies within the deal struck between Russian and Turkish officers at that now-infamous assembly of the overseas ministers of Russia, Turkey, and Iran in Doha, Qatar, in December 2024.

Again in 2007, Qatar and its Western handlers supplied President Bashar Al Assad the world, actually, in trade for letting a gasoline pipeline run from Qatar by means of Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Syria on its method to European markets. Had Assad stated sure, Syria would have pocketed 14 billion US {dollars} in money on the spot, saved a share of the gasoline passing by means of its personal territory, collected transit charges on each cubic meter pumped by means of, and opened the door to Western and Gulf funding within the large gasoline fields off the Syrian coast within the Jap Mediterranean and in central Syria.

President Assad turned the supply down as a result of it could have strangled the already struggling economies of Russia and Iran. As a substitute, he proposed his personal imaginative and prescient: the 5 Seas Financial Zone, inviting the nations across the Mediterranean, the Pink Sea, the Black Sea, the Gulf, and the Caspian into the richest, strongest financial bloc on earth. For that, he was warned, immediately and unmistakably, that Syria can be destroyed and became a failed state if he didn’t fall in line. His counter-offer was rejected by buddies earlier than foes. When Assad informed Putin in regards to the plot, Putin promised Russia would stand by Syria if that risk ever turned actual, and supplied Syria Russia’s most superior weapons. The Syrian Arab Military wasted no time: it requested for the S300 air protection programs, together with all the pieces else it wanted to defend the nation in opposition to the approaching aggression from the US-led NATO ‘defensive’ alliance and its consumer states.

As a substitute, Putin broke his phrase. In 2010, on directions from Israel’s Netanyahu, he withheld the S300 programs Syria desperately wanted, leaving the nation uncovered to repeated US and Israeli assaults. Putin had assured Assad that Russia would defend Syria in opposition to any direct invasion or critical NATO aggression, however Russia saved failing to indicate up, even in 2013, when the US, beneath conflict felony and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Obama, threatened to bomb Syria over the Ghouta chemical assault, a false flag carried out by NATO-sponsored Al Qaeda terrorists, as an alternative of fulfilling his promise, Putin pressured Syria to surrender its final deterring chemical weapons stockpile it saved within the face of the Israeli nuclear, chemical, and bio-weapons of mass destruction.

In 2019, Putin broke his phrase once more. Below the Idlib Settlement, Russia and Iran stood as guarantors that Turkey would pull its troops out of northern Syria. As a substitute, that settlement was used to cease the Syrian Arab Military in its tracks. The SAA was on the verge of liberating the remainder of Idlib, the final Al Qaeda stronghold within the nation, when it was ordered to face down, giving Erdogan, the Turkish madman and enemy of true Islam, extra time to handle the 1000’s of Al Qaeda fighters he had nurtured in that northwestern province on Turkey’s border. Russian stress on Damascus let the ever-hypocritical Erdogan broaden the Turkish army presence there, to not withdraw his terrorists because the settlement he signed required, however to guard them.

Russia saved pressuring Damascus to reduce the Iranian army presence that was serving to the SAA struggle terrorists. In the meantime, Israel saved putting Iranian army and counter-terrorism advisors throughout the nation with pinpoint accuracy, whereas Russian radars conveniently noticed nothing. Collectively, these two information uncovered Syria even additional to intervention by NATO member states and the terrorist teams working beneath NATO’s command.

On the very moments Syria desperately wanted the S300 and needed to depend on the Syrian Arab Military outdated air protection programs to shoot down most incoming Tomahawks and different missiles with what it had, on the very moments Syrian air protection crews, by means of sheer heroism, shot down an Israeli F16 and broken an Israeli F35 utilizing outdated Soviet-era gear, Putin was busy touring the world providing the way more superior S400 to everybody besides Syria. He supplied it to Turkey, a NATO member and an enemy of each Syria and Russia, and to Qatar, India, Saudi Arabia, and anybody else who needed one, or didn’t.

Putin by no means helped Syria develop its personal pure assets as promised. He by no means despatched a single barrel of oil or a cubic meter of gasoline to a rustic in determined want, even because the US Military looted Syrian oil and gasoline from fields 6,000 kilometers from American soil. And as if that weren’t sufficient, Putin then promised to make Turkey the regional gasoline hub as an alternative.

All of this whereas Syria carried the burden alone, preventing tens of 1000’s of Al Qaeda, ISIS, and their associates and handlers from each Western ‘intelligence’ company on the bottom. Putin himself justified Russia’s entry into the conflict in September 2015 by saying it was higher to struggle the terrorists in Syria than on the streets of Moscow and St. Petersburg. And but Russia ended up taking part in the main function in turning its solely devoted ally, the final secular nation within the area, into the failed state it’s right now, dominated by the very teams Putin claimed he needed to struggle in Syria relatively than in Russia.

Russia deserted Syria to guard Israel and to assist Erdogan, the neo-Ottoman sultan wannabe, rebuild his despised Ottoman empire within the Arab world. Putin then went additional, welcoming and successfully endorsing the head-chopping chief of Al Qaeda HTS in Moscow itself. That alone locations a humanitarian duty on Russia, fairly aside from any bond of friendship between the Syrian and Russian peoples, to ask Putin’s new buddies in Al Qaeda HTS, now ruling Syria, to declare a basic amnesty and free each political prisoner instantly.

Russia isn’t any stranger to demanding amnesty. Its envoys pressured President Assad’s authorities repeatedly to grant one, even whereas those self same terrorists had been finishing up horrific massacres in opposition to Syrians throughout the nation. 1000’s of Al Qaeda fighters walked free beneath the so-called ‘Reconciliation‘ course of, overseen by officers of the Russian Military itself.

We’re asking Mr. Putin, the Russian Safety Council, the Russian Duma, and the Russian Orthodox Patriarchy to step in now and demand this basic amnesty. Syrian officers, military personnel, and even the clergy, together with Syria’s final Grand Mufti, Ahmad Badreddin Hassoun, are being tortured, persecuted, threatened with execution, and in lots of instances murdered in essentially the most horrific methods.

Russia can merely ask its good friend Erdogan, the person it bought Syria to so cheaply, to order the amnesty from the Al Qaeda HTS he has sponsored for a decade and a half. Or Russia can ask its buddies in Israel to instruct their very own asset, Al Qaeda HTS chief Jolani, to subject it. In any case, Putin’s most cherished purpose, securing Israel, has already been achieved with the destruction of the secular Syrian state.

If Russia received’t contemplate any of that, then on the very least, as a everlasting member of the UN Safety Council, entrusted by the world to safeguard peace and safety, it ought to demand the overall amnesty, the speedy launch of each kidnapped political prisoner, and actual safety for the Syrian individuals.

That’s the very least Russia owes the Syrian individuals after twenty years of betrayal, backstabbing, and damaged commitments to the one true ally it ever had.

On behalf of the Syrian individuals,
