Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah vows victory in Syria

  • May 26, 2013 5:36AM

HEZBOLLAH chief Hassan Nasrallah vowed “victory” in Syria, where militants of his powerful Lebanese Shiite movement have combined to fight the rebels.

“I say to all the honourable people, to the mujahedeen, to the heroes: I have always promised you a victory and now I pledge to you a new one” in Syria, he said at a ceremony marking the 13th anniversary of Israel’s military withdrawal from Lebanon.

Nasrallah said Hezbollah would always stand by its ally, President Bashar al-Assad, and his regime, stressing that its own interests were at stake.

“We will continue along the road … bear the responsibilities and the sacrifices,” he said in a video link of a speech delivered live on a huge screen.

“This battle is ours … and I promise you victory,” he said.

“Syria is the rear guard of the resistance (Hezbollah’s fight with Israel), its backbone, and the resistance cannot stay with its arms folded when its rear guard is exposed.

“We are idiots if we do not act,” said Nasrallah who avoids appearing in public for fear of being assassinated by Israel.

The intervention of hundreds of Hezbollah fighters has given Mr Assad the upper hand in Qusayr, a strategic central town in Syria across the border with Lebanon, that had been in rebel hands.

Syrian forces launched an assault on Qusayr on Sunday but are still meeting with fierce resistance from the rebels, as the town provides an important supply line for arms and volunteers from nearby Lebanon.

Qusayr is a key prize for Mr Assad’s forces because of its strategic location between Damascus and the Mediterranean coast, the Alawite heartland of the embattled president’s regime.

Nasrallah ruled out any alliance with the mostly Sunni Muslim rebels battling the Syrian regime.

“Hezbollah cannot be in the same trench as the United States, Israel, the takfiris (radical Muslims) … who disembowel, behead and desecrate tombs,” he said of reports that rebels had vandalised the shrine of a venerated Shiite saint.

Nasrallah also appealed for the anti- and pro-Syrian camps in Lebanon to avoid the violence in the northern port city of Tripoli that has cost 30 lives over the past week.

“We call again for Lebanon to be left out of any confrontation. We are opposed over Syria? You want to fight in Syria? Let’s fight there but preserve the neutrality of Lebanon. Why should we fight in Lebanon?” he asked.

He also downplayed a proposal by France for the European Union to include Hezbollah’s militia on a blacklist of terrorist groups.

“We have been on the list of terrorist organisations for a long time, and that is just ink on paper and changes nothing. You can boil your list and drink it.”

Hezbollah is already blacklisted by Australia, Britain, Canada, Israel, the Netherlands and the United States.

Saturday marked the 13th anniversary of Israel’s withdrawal from south Lebanon after 22 years of occupation, in a move widely credited to Hezbollah’s constant attack on Israeli forces.

Who are the PKK? 

The Partiya Karkerên Kurdistan (PKK), also known as KADEK and Kongra-Gel, is considered by the US, the EU, and NATO to be a terrorist organization. It is an ethnic secessionist organization using violence for the purpose of achieving its goal of creating an independent Kurdish state in parts of southeastern Turkey, northeastern Iraq, northeastern Syria and northwestern Iran.

Between 1984 and 1999, the PKK and the Turkish military engaged in open war, and much of the countryside in the southeast was depopulated, as Kurdish civilians moved to local defensible centers such as Diyarbakır, Van, and Şırnak, as well as to the cities of western Turkey and even to western Europe. The causes of the depopulation included PKK atrocities against Kurdish clans they could not control, the poverty of the southeast, and the Turkish state’s military operations. State actions also included forced inscription, forced evacuation, destruction of villages, severe harassment and extrajudicial executions.

During the Syrian civil war, the Kurds in Syria have established control over their own region with the help of the Turkish Kurdistan Workers’ Party as well as with support from the Kurdistan Regional Government in Irbil, under President Massoud Barzani. The Syrian Kurdish enclave has been fighting westward to secure an outlet to the Mediterranean Sea between the northern part of the Alawi region and the Syrian border with Turkey.

Ceasefire

In late 2012, the Turkish government began secret talks with Öcalan for a ceasefire. To facilitate talks, government officials transmitted letters between Öcalan in jail to PKK leaders in northern Iraq. On 21 March 2013, a ceasefire was announced. On 25 April, it was announced that the PKK would leave Turkey. Commander Murat Karayilan remarked “As part of ongoing preparations, the withdrawal will begin on May 8, 2013. Our forces will use their right to retaliate in the event of an attack, operation or bombing against our withdrawing guerrilla forces and the withdrawal will immediately stop.” The semi-autonomous Kurdish region of Iraq welcomed the idea of refugees from its northern neighbor. The BDP held meetings across the region to explain the pending withdrawal to concerned citizens. “The 8th of May is a day we both anticipate and fear,” explained party leader Pinar Yilmaz. “We don’t trust the government at all. Many people here are afraid that once the guerrillas are gone, the Turkish military will crack down on us again.”

The withdrawal began as planned with groups of fighters crossing the border from southeastern Turkey to northern Iraq. Iraqi leadership in Baghdad, however, declared that it would not accept armed groups into its territory. “The Iraqi government welcomes any political and peaceful settlement”, read an official statement. “[But] it does not accept the entry of armed groups to its territories that can be used to harm Iraq’s security and stability.” The prospect of armed Kurdish forces in northern Iraq threatens to increase tensions between the region and Baghdad who are already at odds over certain oil producing territory. PKK spokesman Ahmet Deniz sought to ease concerns stating the plan would boost democracy. “The [peace] process is not aimed against anyone,” he said “and there is no need for concerns that the struggle will take on another format and pose a threat to others.”

It is estimated that between 1,500 and 2,000 PKK fighters reside in Turkey. The withdrawal process is expected to take several months even if Iraq does not intervene to try to stop it. On 14 May, the first groups of 13 male and female fighters entered Iraq’s Heror area near the Metina mountain after leaving Turkey. They carried with them Kalashnikov assault rifles, light machine guns and rocket-propelled grenade launchers before a welcoming ceremony.

Tactics

The areas in which the group operates are generally mountainous rural areas and dense urban areas. The mountainous terrain offers an advantage to members of the PKK by allowing them to hide in a network of caves and making military air operations, especially helicopter use, hazardous for the Turkish Armed Forces.

Weapons

In July 2007, the weapons captured between 1984 and 2007 from the PKK operatives and their origins published by the Turkish General Staff indicates that the operatives delete some of the serial numbers from their weapons. The total number of weapons and the origins for traceable ones were.

Four members of the organization, who handed themselves over to authorities after escaping from camps in northern Iraq, claimed they had seen two U.S. armored vehicles deliver weapons, which was widely reported and further stoked suspicions about U.S. policy in Iraq. US envoy denied these claims. The arms were claimed to be part of Blackwater Worldwide arms smuggling allegations. The probe of organization’s weapons and the investigation of Blackwater employees were connected.

In order rushes Iraq to the final phase of the planned decree also wants the U.S. occupation has كلت Obama administration Iraq dossier to Biden Republican Almtzin that has already been presented to Bush and Congress project to divide Iraq, and here he is today oversees the implementation itself has started its activities in practice heats the political situation in preparation for the division was distribution of roles on the partners of the political process as follows:

First: the Government Center (Maliki) repeating provoke Sunni provinces to create a public opinion accepts the invitation to the regions and federalism, testifies to the intrigue Nukhaib and mobilization of sectarian owner, and campaigns ablation in Salahaddin University and arrests Baathists real and alleged advocacy spiteful against Hashemi and output exciting for his arrest at the airport and try to arrested by ended بهروبه to Kurdistan, and the expulsion of al-Mutlaq and treason Issawi and waving files of terrorism with left and right.

It blows more and more Viatql the women, and blow more and more Vigtsb the women all in order to make the reaction path towards regionalization decree, الفدرلة and division.

Then it was necessary to raise sectarian shipping more and more cross-provoking protesters and shed their blood in front of screens in all media Yards sit latest massacre Hawija.

Third: Under the guidance Biden that the Maliki government center temporarily Baltmana and lack of response to suit the provinces, and he and his party continues in arrogance and provocation enough for continuing sectarian shipping and promote advocacy towards separation so as to reach the point of no return.

Fourth: It is also necessary to provoke the Kurds to raise the temperature and speed up the movement of centrifuge, and in this context came Maliki’s party accused of Talabani of harboring terrorists wanted for justice Abu Tabr.

To Iraq rushes to the last phase of the blueprint also wants the US occupation Government has hired Obama to Biden’s Republican Iraq file almtshin which had been presented to Bush and to Congress the draft divided Iraq, and is now overseeing implementation and practical activity began to heat up the political situation prior to partition and role distribution partners in the political process as follows:


First: the Government Centre (Al-Maliki) to repeat the Sunni provinces provocation to create public opinion accepts invitation to regions and federalism, bear witness to this intrigue Nukhayb and communal mobilisation, and campaigns by ablation in Salahaddin University and captures the real Baathists and alleged malicious call against al-Hashimi and output is arrested in the airport and try to arrest him, which ended with his flight to Iraqi Kurdistan, and the expulsion of Al-mutlaq and Al-Issawi and stores the files of terrorism right and North. Within the context of miscreant owners policy advanced by the arrest of thousands of innocents, unjustly and falsely accusations leading to their execution. It is blowing more and more arrests, blowing more and more women are raped every order manufactured reaction drawn path towards regionalization and walvdrlh.

And then had to be raising more and more sectarian freight through provocation and shedding blood in front of screens of information in all theatres and the latest massacre in Hawija. Clearly, in all of the foregoing that the occupant has loosened the rope for Al-Maliki and leaders and gave them the green light to commit massacres, and has not missed false witness (the United Nations), as is customary in the disguise of this heinous crime.

II: the reaction of the Sunni provinces inspired Americans leaders, to declare territories and cling to it as a constitutional right to drive almzlomet and ablation and marginalization, with tickling people’s feelings by calling for appointment of unemployed graduates and greater shares of financial allocations, and all the works of the logos to create and confirm public opinion accept federalism and partition. And ratifications thus declared Salah al-Din provinces declared themselves the same provinces, Anbar, Diyala and maintain Council distinguished Government has threatened the Centre and vacate their two weeks otherwise it will declare the territory!.

III: under the guidance of Biden that the Al-Maliki government temporarily with reluctance and lack of response to suit the provinces, it continues and his arrogance, provocation enough to continue sectarian freight and strengthen advocacy towards separation so as to reach the point of no return.

IV: it is also necessary to provoke the Kurds to raise temperature and accelerate centrifugal movement, and in this context came to accuse Maliki of Talabani’s Party of harboring wanted terrorists to justice Abu tubar.

V: after push and pull and Israeli Ambassador interferes with frenzy and maybe Biden personally to force Al-Maliki to invoke the Constitution and allow the Sunni provinces turned to the territories after the Federal Court decisions in this regard. The output may require federal constitutional referendums forged in the provinces and the result will be that federalism is a desire of the majority of the masses.

VI: enhanced the authority of the Central Government on the rest of the provinces to be one territory ruled by the Dawa party will issue a fatwa from al-Sistani and perhaps Khamenei denied the Shia claim territories and federal.

VII: will the new reality of border conflicts and repainting between provinces and territories, the Safavid Government ambitions in Dujail and country and gnawed Sayed Mohammed Salah al-Din and chomping Nukhayb of Anbar; and the new reality of Talabani and Barzani party chomping Kirkuk and the eastern side of Mosul, all ruled by Biden and endorsed by Parties plan clients that brought occupation and promoted him.

VIII: Safavid Government will continue to attach to the State central Samarra Talia after differences are created between a Samarra and Salahuddin province, will this time administrative justification not sectarian because majority of the people of Samarra are year.

IX: courtesy of Biden would not be allowed ldiali to declare segregation against the Constitution in a geographical component of the Persians and crossing Iraq to Samarra, we noted how the Safavid militias seized and expelled their portfolios because the thought of it.

X.: Biden’s map is composed of three territories Iraq (Kurdish region including part of Mosul and Kirkuk and Khanaqin, Arbil, capital of the Safavid territory including Diyala, Samarra and Baghdad, the capital of the Sunni province in Iraq confined bounty in the corner after a rightfully calls inside the subdivision, such as plate glass if shattered will turn into crystals and no one can demarcate each segment. and we are in the war zones and lane disputed within the province, with Sunni and Shiite Muslim districts alike.

XI: this map publicly traded and we saw on TV, but politicians ignore year and claim the urgency and enthusiasm to establish territories, since the Council called Salah al-Din governorate territories until the leaders were quick in the Iraqi list to confirm the constitutionality of this requirement, but they pay the provincial Council in Diyala and Anbar provinces, announced the referendum, we have seen how the vdaeathm recruiting people and step up its effort in this direction.

XII: we want to ask the leaders of advocates for localization, how you can protect people in the Sunni provinces of targeting and marginalized if this is your situation and you are in the green zone? Why don’t you think of alternative bleaching your faces that you are honest or malicious spirit Biden tlbestkm what we hear you are homesick and resonance.

XIII: then what about the year Baghdad which are impossible to be divided on a sectarian basis? Do they sacrifice Baghdad and her family and they wipe your hands from you and she helped us defenders of the year? Then from the Shia Arabs good of protecting shed safavids Iranians? Are you claim and you pretend your queue with Iraqis in all provinces and from all denominations.

XIV: the conclusion is that the advocates localization if they so naive and didn’t understand this game and catastrophic consequences of Iraq in General and the particular year that calamity, and if they understood, they wanted to engage the occupier, the greatest misfortune purposes.

STORY HIGHLIGHTS
  • President Barack Obama, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan talk to the media in Washington
  • The unrest in Syria has persisted for more than two years, despite diplomatic efforts
  • Opposition group says fighting killed at least 63 people Thursday
  • Obama says the Geneva initiative looks promising

(CNN) — The leaders of Turkey and the United States are huddling in Washington on Thursday over how to handle the Syrian civil war, the raging conflict that has left an estimated 80,000 people dead and a few million displaced — despite more than two years of diplomacy to halt the bloodshed.

President Barack Obama and Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, meeting in Washington, discussed how to strengthen the Syrian opposition, help the many people displaced by the war, and mobilize the international community to put more pressure on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and forge a political transition.

They spoke as the warfare in Syria raged Thursday. The opposition Local Coordination Committees in Syria said at least 63 people were killed, including 45 in Damascus and its suburbs.

“We’re going to keep increasing the pressure on the Assad regime, and working with the Syrian opposition,” Obama said. “The prime minister has been on the forefront of the international effort to push for a transition to a democratic Syria without Bashar Assad. And Turkey is going to play an important role as we bring representatives of the regime and opposition together in the coming weeks.”

Obama said he and Erdogan agree that al-Assad needs to transfer power.

Atrocities in Syria Syria-Turkey border tensions flare Syrian refugees stuck in limbo “That is the only way we’re going to resolve this crisis. And we’re going to keep working for a Syria that is free from Assad’s tyranny, that is intact and inclusive of all ethnic and religious groups, and that’s a source of stability, not extremism, because it’s in the profound interest of all our nations, especially Turkey.”

Turkey has been a major player in the effort to push for change in Syria, which sits on its southern border. At one time, Erdogan and al-Assad had close ties, but the war has made them antagonists. Turkey has long harbored many Syrian refugees and hosted opposition entities.

“I’ve made it clear again today that the United States is going to keep on helping countries in the region, including Turkey, shoulder this burden, doing our part as a major donor of humanitarian aid to the Syrian people, including those refugees in Turkey. And we’re going to keep working with our Turkish partners to deliver the food, shelter and medicine that’s needed to save lives.”

Erdogan said ending the war and meeting the people’s demands for a new government “are two areas where we are in full agreement with the United States. Supporting the opposition and Assad leaving are important issues. “

“We also agree that we have to prevent Syria from becoming an area for terrorist organizations. We also agreed that chemical weapons should not be used and all minorities and their rights should be secured. These are all priority areas for all of us,” he said.

Obama said that solid evidence of chemical weaponry would constitute a red line in the conflict and produce major consequences.

Possible solutions to Syria war Difficulty of proving chemical weapons Syria’s internally displaced “I’ve said in the past, we have seen evidence of the use of chemical weapons inside of Syria. It is important for us to make sure that we’re able to get more specific information about what exactly is happening there,” he said.

“But separate and apart from the chemical weapons, we know that tens of thousands of people are being killed with artillery and mortars and that the humanitarian crisis and the slaughter that’s taking place by itself is sufficient to prompt strong international action.”

He cited a “whole range of options that the United States is already engaged in” and said he preserved “the options of taking additional steps, both diplomatic and military, because those chemical weapons inside of Syria also threaten our security over the long term as well as our allies and friends and neighbors.”

“This is also an international problem, and it’s very much my hope to continue to work with all the various parties involved, including Turkey, to find a solution that brings peace to Syria, stabilizes the region, stabilizes those chemical weapons, but it’s not gonna be something that the United States does by itself, and I don’t think anybody in the region, including the prime minister, would think that U.S. unilateral actions in and of themselves would bring about a better outcome inside — inside of Syria.”

Diplomatic moves

On Wednesday, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution calling for a political transition in Syria.

The resolution, which passed by a 107-12 vote, with 59 abstentions, also condemned the government’s increased use of heavy weapons and ongoing “widespread and systematic gross violations of human rights and fundamental freedoms,” said a U.N. statement.

It was the fifth resolution on Syria voted by the body since 2011.

“If we are unable to do anything to stop this tragedy, then how can we sustain the moral credibility of this organization?” Assembly President Vuk Jeremic said before the vote, according to the statement.

Meanwhile, in Sweden, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov discussed the revival of a peace initiative based on last year’s Geneva conference.

That conference, brokered by Russia and the United States, outlined how a transitional government could be formed in Syria.

“I think it’s fair to say that both of us are confident about the direction that we’re moving in and very, very hopeful that within a short period of time, the pieces will have come together fully so that the world, hopefully, will have an opportunity to be given an alternative to the violence and destruction that is taking place in Syria at this moment,” Kerry said.

Lavrov cited the Russian-American proposal to convene a conference to start implementing the Geneva communique last June.

“It’s self-explanatory, and what we need now is to mobilize support for this initiative on the basis of what was, I believe, in Geneva and what was proposed by Washington and Moscow: to mobilize support, first of all, by all the Syrian groups, the regime and all opposition groups; and second, by those outside actors who have influence on either one or the other Syrian group,” Lavrov said.

Obama and Erdogan addressed the Geneva initiative.

“I do think that the prospect of talks in Geneva involving the Russians and representatives about a serious political transition that all parties can buy into may yield results,” Obama said.

Erdogan said that “we will continue to explore what we can do together, what we can consider as part of a road map looking at Geneva and beyond.”
