Demonstrators emphasized that this historic day is more than just a triumph over oppression and the closing of a chapter on crime and tyranny embodied by the deposed regime. It marks the beginning of a new era of civil peace and societal harmony among all components of the Syrian people.
Sheikh Abdul Nasser Alwan described the magnificent Syrian Revolution of the great Syrian people as a revolution of building both humanity and the nation, achieved through the perseverance and determination of the steadfast heroes of this noble society.
Metropolitan Nicolas Baalbaki, Archbishop of Hama for the Greek Orthodox Church, stated that March 15th is a glorious day in Syria’s history. He highlighted how, after decades of oppression, injustice, and tyranny, the great Syrian people rose in unison against the oppressive despot. He noted that the Syrian people demonstrated through this revolution their authenticity, humanity, and unity across all spectrums—a people of high values, noble ethics, and lofty principles.
Hama Governor Abdul Rahman al-Sahiyan affirmed that the anniversary of the blessed Syrian Revolution will remain eternal in the hearts and consciousness of the people, who, through their sacrifices and resilience, achieved victory over the tyrant and his corrupt and criminal regime that had oppressed the Syrians for decades.
Bakr Shaqaqi, head of the political bureau, declared, “We are gathered here in this square, which witnessed the sacrifice of many martyrs who fell at the hands of the criminal regime, giving their lives for freedom and dignity. Today, we proclaim: No to a dark past, and yes to a new era of rebuilding Syria.”
