AL-ASSAD
IS DEVELOPING A BRUTAL GENOCIDE AGAINST SYRIAN PEOPLE: THERE ARE MORE THAN
12,000 KILLED
Juan
Marino, TPR’s leader, said that: “today we march, first of all, to repudiate
the brutal genocide that Al-Assad is perpetrating against the Syrian people. On
May 25th, Al-Assad developed a slaughter in the town of Houla,
brutally murdering more than 100 Syrian civilians, sparking a new international
political crisis. Earlier, Al-Assad had already bombarded the towns of Homs and
Aleppo, causing hundreds of deaths of workers, women and children. Without
going any further, this scene was repeated yesterday in the town of Hama, where
there were killed over 60 people by the actions of the militias of mercenaries
who respond to Al-Assad’s government. As to today, those killed by the Syrian
regime exceed the number of 12,000, so we can say that we are facing a genocide
comparable to the one carried out by the own father of Bashar Al-Assad in 1982,
when being dictator of Syria massacred about 20,000 people. For this reason, and
the fact that Al-Assad’s regime has nothing to do with the anti-imperialist
struggle in the Middle East because it’s based on negotiations with imperialism
that the Syrian government has woven for years, from the Revolutionary Piquetero
Tendency, we express our solidarity with Syrian people and support their
struggle to expel Al-Assad and his entire reactionary regime”.
CRISTINA IS SILENT ABOUT THE SLAUGHTER OF THE
SYRIAN PEOPLE BECAUSE SHE SUPPORTS AL-ASSAD
Marino
emphasized that “Cristina maintains a complicit silence about the slaughter of the
Syrian people. On May 25th, Cristina said nothing in her
presidential address about the fact that, at the same time she was speaking,
Al-Assad carried out a brutal slaughter in Houla. In 2010, Cristina received
Al-Assad at the Sheraton Hotel and greeted the Syrian government support to
kirchnerist policy of negotiating with British imperialism a shared
exploitation of oil in Malvinas. Therefore, if Cristina supports Al-Assad, is
because Al-Assad supports Cristina’s policy of setting up a Famatina in
Malvinas, that is, to claim a portion of the oil business in the islands to
give it to a sector of imperialist companies associated with kirchnerism. In
the same vein, Cristina ratified in 2011 Robert Ahuad in charge of the Embassy
of Argentina in Syria, being Ahuad who operated to organize a Syrian-Jordanian
committee to support the negotiation that Cristina wants to build in Malvinas. As
Revolutionary Piquetero Tendency, we call on Argentine people to repudiate
Cristina's complicity with Al-Assad, and to demand the immediate break of
relations of the Argentine government with the Syrian government. "
IMPERIALISM, THE RIGHT-WING AND THE FREE SYRIAN
ARMY WANT A GOVERNMENT LIKE THAT OF AL-ASSAD WITHOUT AL-ASSAD
In turn,
the leader of the TPR remarked that "from the TPR we also repudiate the
policy of imperialism, the right-wing and the Free Syrian Army, that aims to
install a government like that of Al-Assad without Al-Assad. The U.S.
government is not opposed to Al-Assad in defense of the Syrian people, but
instead wants to defeat the Syrian revolution either through an imperialist
invasion, through rigged elections in complicity with the regime of Al-Assad,
or through a combination of both variants. In the same vein, when the Argentine
right-wing parties oppose Cristina’s agreements with Al-Assad, as did Duhalde’s
congressman Eduardo Amadeo, they do it based on defending the interests of zionism
and imperialism in the Middle East. On the other hand, Free Syrian Army is a
military grouping formed by imperialism through the Turkish government, which
rejects popular arming, leaving Syrian people unarmed in front of the regime's
repression. The FSA accepted without question the cease-fire imposed by the Annan
Plan, while the population continued being killed by Al-Assad. The second in
charge of the Free Syrian Army has come out publicly in favor of a foreign
military invasion. Therefore, from the TPR we want to warn that imperialism is
preparing a political and military offensive against the Syrian people, and
that the UN mission in Syria, called MISNUS, is an imperialist operation to
develop a land recognition task prior to the military offensive. For the same
reason, we require the Argentine government to pronounce publicly on the
information disseminated by the media indicating that the government is
evaluating adding Argentine soldiers to MISNUS. Argentine fighters have all the
reasons to believe that if imperialism decides to mount a military offensive against
Syria, the Argentine government will join it, because in 2004 it has already done
so when they sent troops to join the military occupation against fraternal
people of Haiti, has allowed the installation of a military base in Southern
Command in Chaco and has said nothing against the recent installation of a
Yankee base in Chile. "
LET’S FIGHT TO DEFEAT CRISTINA’S COMPLICITY
WITH AL-ASSAD, SUPPORT SYRIAN REVOLUTION, EXPEL AL-ASSAD AND REPUDIATE ANY
IMPERIALIST INTERFERENCE AGAINST SYRIAN PEOPLE
Finally,
Marino said that "today’s march has to be the kick-off of a mobilization
plan to defeat Cristina's complicity with Al-Assad, support Syrian revolution,
expel Al-Assad and repudiate any imperialist interference against Syrian
people. In the same vein, from the TPR we do understand that the next step is
to go to the Argentina Foreign Ministry, which has promoted the presence of an
ambassador in Syria, who is an accomplice of the genocidal regime of Al-Assad. And
if the government of Cristina does not answer and remains an accomplice in the massacre
of Syrian people, we have to prepare a great demonstration to the Plaza de Mayo
with all these statements".
