Syrians in Greece flood Syntagma Square and the Hellenic parliament, as the Assad regime falls to the Turkish-backed rebel terrorists.
Syrians waved flags of the rebels, including some jihadist and Palestinian flags. This sparked outrage by some, citing that “Syntagma Square of the Greeks, in front of the tomb of the unknown soldier, here now fly the flags of jihad!”.
Meanwhile, the Greek foreign affairs minister stood with the celebrators, and supported the fall of Assad. Greece “welcomes the fall of the authoritarian Assad regime in Syria,” said the minister. However, it should be known that the rebels who took down Assad are not your average freedom-fighting soldiers. They are a mix of rebels and Muslim extremists backed by Turkey. Abu Mohammed Al-Golani, a leader of ‘Hayat Tahrir al-Sham’ (who fought against Assad) is recognized as a terrorist by the international community such as the United States and Canada. Al-Golani and others in the rebel group are former members of ISIS and al-Qaeda. This is who the Mitsotakis government, and those in our parliament are supporting. Assad is gone yes, but that does not mean the situation is better. The Kurdish people in Syria, friends of the Greeks, have been attacked by these Islamist groups for a long time. Members loyal to Al-Golani are involved in the kidnappings of Kurdish civilians in Syria as well as nuns. These ‘rebels’ backed by our enemy Turkey, are involved in violence against Christians, and our Kurdish brothers and sisters. And now we have hundreds of Syrians in our capital, waving these Islamist flags across our city, and the government supports this.
Already, according to sources, Al-Qaeda has urged Syrian rebels to “turn on the Jews and Crusaders (Christians)” and begin violent attacks against them. Not only for Christians,
but even for the Kurds as well. Since some of the rebels are backed by Turkey, the Turks wish to use this new influence to “finish off” the Kurds in Syria and prevent the Kurds from establishing their own homeland, which was stolen from them by the Turks.
The question we should now be asking is, now that the tyrant is gone, will all the Syrians go back? Syrians fled from Assad to come to Greece and the western world, and now that Assad is gone, they should go back home.
