October 6th, 2011 – [Kaleme] In a statement addressed to the Supreme Council of the Syrian Revolution, Iran’s Coordination Council of the Green Path of Hope reiterates the unwavering support of the nation of Iran for the freedom seeking nation of Syria and all freedom fighters in the region.
The full content of the statement as provided to Kaleme is as follows:
In the name of God the Merciful,
The Iranian nation has carefully followed the recent events in Syrian and the struggle of the oppressed and brave citizens of Syria against an authoritarian regime with a deep sense of empathy and compassion.
The commendable stance and solidarity of the Syrian Muslim nation, despite having lost approximately three thousand martyrs, while tens of thousands have been wounded, imprisoned, missing and displaced will lead to the demise of a regime that has opted to ignore the voices of its protesting citizens demanding justice; a regime that has continued to pursue its own personal interests at the cost of violating the fundamental human rights of its people. This unprecedented level of oppression by the Syrian government has even forced the foreign policy makers in Iran’s current government to reflect upon their unwavering support of the Baathist Syrian regime.
The widespread rise in the Middle East and North Africa against despotic and oppressive regimes is an unprecedented and unique movement in the history of the region. The developments and consequent results achieved in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya bring with them a promise of a bright future for all freedom seeking citizens of the region; nations that will eventually define their own destiny and achieve self sovereignty through their national strength and unity.
The people of Iran and Syria are without a doubt fully aligned in their support of liberation movements in the region from the rightful movement of the freedom seeking people of Palestine to the uprisings in Yemen and Bahrain.
The people’s Green Movement in Iran that arose from a struggle against the pervasive forms of authoritarianism, corruption and power within the Islamic Republic and the need to restore the legitimate rights of the nation of Iran, continues to emphasize the inviolable principle of peaceful coexistence of all religions, beliefs and ethnicity both within Iran and throughout the region. The foreign policy of every nation must first and foremost serve the best interest of the people of that nation with respect for human dignity and the right of all other nations to self determination and sovereignty.
The recent events in our region only further reveal the authenticity and the unwavering will of the people, a reality that the authoritarian governments of the region have opted to ignore.
We look forward to the people of Syria achieving freedom as soon as possible so that democracy, equality and freedom can reign in Syria and oppression and sadness are forever removed from your honorable land.
The prayers, blessings and best wishes of the leaders and activists of the people’s Green movement of Iran and every Green Iranian citizen are with the freedom seeking nation of Syria.
The Coordination Council for the Green Path of Hope
