Statement Issued by the Syrian Resistance
In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate
To our dear brothers in the land of Ali and Hussein,
Peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you,
For fifteen years we have stood side by side, fought shoulder to shoulder, and our blood has mingled in the arenas of honor and dignity. Our cause remains one: the cause of truth, freedom, and the defense of the nation.
Brothers, the issue of handing over weapons does not concern you alone; it is a matter that affects the entire Axis of Resistance. The weapons that they seek to strip from you today are the very weapons we in Syria are in dire need of. If surrendered, they will fall into the hands of the Golani gangs, who kill and annihilate our people through dubious deals sponsored by foreign powers.
Neglecting this matter does not befit your honorable history nor your shining path. It would be a chapter filled with disgrace and shame, tarnishing the heroic sacrifices you have inscribed.
We have known you as valiant fighters, brave men not deceived by this fleeting world, who never bargain over the blood of martyrs or the rights of the nation. We in the Syrian Resistance declare our full readiness to volunteer under your leadership to defend your weapons, for they do not belong to one faction alone. They are the right of all sons of the Axis of Resistance, a sacred duty that must not be abandoned in exchange for positions or fleeting gains.
So proceed as we have always known you: loyal to the cause, steadfast in the face of pressure, holding firmly to your weapons, which are the symbol of your honor and dignity.
