Baladi News – (Kinan Sulatn)
After the sectarian Iran-backed Iraqi mobilization had crossed the Syrian borders, the Free Syrian Clans and Tribes Council demanded in a statement the Arab and friendly states, as well as all influential powers, to confront the Iranian scheme of occupying additional parts of the Syrian territories.
“We, the free people of Syria in general, and the members of the clans and tribes in particular, declare that Syria, as a land and people, will not kneel to any looters and will be the graveyard of all greedy invaders,” the statement stated.
In a statement to Baladi News, Mudar Hammad al-Asaad, the general coordinator of the High Free Syrian Clans and Tribes Council, said, “the Syrian society in al Hasaka, including the majority Arabs, Turkmen, Yezidis, Kurds, and others, in the eastern region is of a tribal nature, and what is happening in the area will have disastrous consequences.”
“The Iranian evil scheme will badly influence the lives of people socially and politically,” added the speaker.
Al-Asaad stressed that the members of Syrian tribes and clans “refuse the entry of the Popular Mobilization and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, as well as all the other battalions established and supported by Iran, to Syria,” indicating that there is no difference between them and ISIS, Syrian Democratic Forces, and Hezbollah, as they all have contributed to killing Syrian people and destroying Syria.”
Al-Asaad emphasized that the residents would show a strong reaction through popular resistance in all possible ways against the assaulting armed groups.
Sheikh Faisal al-Sultan, member of the political office of the Free Syrian Clans and Tribes council, clarified “that the arrival of the Popular Mobilization in Syria means more killing and destruction,” adding that “the Syrian people categorically refuse the entry of the mobilization as well as all groups supported by Iran, which has committed crimes all around Syria, and it is the turn of Al Hasaka province now to suffer new massacres.”
