<\/a><\/p>\nThe Presidential Candidate added that this city has many names.. it is named as the capital of Ghouta \u2026 Bride of Ghouta,\u00a0 where terrorists, during the time of their occupation of the city, \u00a0tried to distort its image and desecrate its reputation, but in reality, at that time, most of Douma citizens, who were inside or outside the city, were continuously contacting with the state institutions in one way or another, urging the state to come\u2026 the Syrian Arab Army to liberate \u2026 the law to return, implementation and stability which means the rule of law.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome citizens of this city have paid their lives as a price just for contacting or just for showing this desire\u2026 there were citizens from Douma, or from Ghouta who have fought with the Syrian Arab Army\u2026 some of them joined the army in a regular way, some of them have fought as supporting forces,\u201d Presidential Candidate al-Assad said.<\/p>\n
He went on saying that today\u2019s visit to this place and casting vote in Douma has a number of sides, the first side is that\u00a0 Syria was not as they have tried to market\u2026. a region against a region, a city against a city, sect against another or a civil war or a clash among the Syrians\u2026 the truth is not, we prove today from Douma that the Syrian people is one, in one trench against terrorism and treason.<\/p>\n
The presidential candidate added\u201d the second side is that this national occasion is also an occasion for us all to remember that this liberation and this entitlement today that we are practicing in this city and in other liberated areas would not have been possible without the thousands of martyrs who fell in defense of the land and of the people in Douma and tens of thousands in other areas of Syria.<\/p>\n
He stressed that the third side is that this entitlement and the popular reaction that we see is an assertion that the Syrian citizen is free , the decision of the Syrian citizen is at his\/her own hands ,\u00a0 not in the hands of any other party and therefore all the statements we hear recently from Western countries, most of them with a colonial history that began before the campaign and continued until the past few days and perhaps the last few hours that comment on these elections and give an evaluation of them, determine their legitimacy and illegitimacy\u2026 of course, we, \u00a0as a state,\u00a0 do not give interest to such statements, but the most important thing of what the state says or doesn\u2019t say is the word of the people.<\/p>\n
The presidential candidate said \u201cI think that the popular interaction that we have seen during the past weeks was a clear and efficient response to all those\u2026 and this reaction tells them that the value of their opinions is zero.\u201d<\/p>\n
He concluded his speech by saying\u201d I send greetings to all the citizens of Douma, to all citizens of Ghouta and to all citizens of the liberated areas, and certainly with each other and together we will work and build our cities, villages and towns, and we will restore to our fields their splendor and fragrance\u2026 we send greetings to all the Syrian Arab people everywhere inside and outside the homeland in Syria and in the migration because they are the only ones who have the great role in every achievement and \u00a0no matter how small and no matter how great, because they are the ones who sacrificed and withstood.\u201d<\/p>\n
