Sana'a - Saba:
The regional leaderships of the Arab Baath Socialist Party in Yemen, Jordan, Iraq, Tunisia, Sudan, Palestine and Mauritania stated that they are following with concern the accelerating, dramatic and dangerous developments in the Syrian Arab Republic.
The regional leaderships said in a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba) a copy of it, "At a time when the Zionist occupation forces are persisting in penetrating more and more into Syrian territory and devouring it, we find the de facto authority and its armed factions going far to establish a policy of exclusion, monopolizing power and dominating the logic of force."
They expressed their surprise at what was described as the National Dialogue Conference, which relied on the presence of one political and sectarian color. She added, "One party engaged in dialogue with itself and drafted a statement that included the results of the dialogue, which in fact embodies the unilateral desire of the controlling party to tailor a constitutional project to its own size, and marginalize the rest of the forces, currents and other groups from the various sons of the Syrian people, driven by the support of some regional powers that aim to obliterate Syria's identity and its pivotal role in resisting and opposing the Zionist and American colonial projects in the region."
They denounced the armed factions' move to name a president of the republic and dissolve the People's Assembly elected by the sons of the Syrian people, in addition to disrupting all constitutional institutions and imposing a unilateral military rule based on exclusion and the elimination of the other.
The statement considered what is happening in Syria a serious and direct threat to the stability of the Arab region, and to the security of all its countries and peoples, and portends the dismantling of Arab countries and dividing them into conflicting cantons in the Syrian manner.
"The duty to save Syria is not limited to the Syrians alone, and is no longer a national Syrian affair only, but is also an Arab and Islamic duty to address the matter before its consequences and repercussions occur, and before a new reality is imposed on the countries of the region that they cannot escape from," the statement read.
The statement noted that committing violations against the Syrian people is in addition to what the de facto authority in Syria has done regarding the dissolution of the Arab Socialist Baath Party and the Progressive Front parties, without caring about the negative consequences that will result from this decision on political and public life in Syria and the risks to the unity of its people and national territory, as it represents a consecration of the policy of cancellation and exclusion of others and the adoption of a policy of revenge that is far removed from what is being promoted regarding building a modern state that guarantees rights, freedoms and political participation for all without exception.
The statement stated that the decision to dissolve the Arab Socialist Baath Party and the Progressive Front parties represents a denial of the facts of modern Syrian history since its independence from French colonialism, and an obliteration of the national and struggle role of the Arab Socialist Baath Party and its confrontation of Zionist and colonial projects in the Arab region, and its unlimited support for the Palestinian people and their just cause and for the resistance with all its factions and components.
The Qatari leaderships called on the active national and progressive forces at the Arab, regional and international levels to force the usurpers of power in Syria to stop their arbitrary decisions and retaliatory policies against the Syrian people.
They stressed that the Takfiri project embodies political impotence and failure due to their lack of any constructive national sense, and this will result in the people adopting appropriate means to defend their will and their single national interest in a just state for all its sons, and what the cities of the Syrian coastal governorates have witnessed recently gives indications of the dangers that the Baath had previously warned of.
The statement said, "These condemned criminal practices enable the Zionists to complete their expansionist goals as well," holding the de facto authority in Damascus responsible for the massacres committed by its henchmen in the countryside of the Syrian coastal cities in particular.
The Qatari leaderships stressed that the de facto authority's reliance on what is described as revolutionary legitimacy and the euphoria of victory to settle scores, eliminate opponents and exclude those who disagree will only establish a bloody dictatorship and a repressive terrorist regime at a time when the brotherly Syrian people are going through the worst living crisis that threatens an imminent explosion.
They stressed that the Syrian people today need a real and comprehensive dialogue that excludes no one and leaves no opportunity for the enemy to interfere in the internal affairs of Arab Syria. They indicated that the grave mistakes committed by the de facto authority in Syria are the most telling example of the Zionist entity claiming to protect groups of the Syrian people, such as threatening to intervene to protect the "Druze", exploiting the policy of exclusion practiced by that usurping authority.
