The Syrian Opposition Coalition (SOC) congratulates the Syrian people on the occasion of the Evacuation Day, Syria’s national day that came as the culmination of a popular, political and revolutionary struggle that brought together all the Syrian people from all components and affiliations.
As the Syrian people mark the seventy-fifth anniversary of the Evacuation Day, they raise the independence flag as a symbol of their revolution and a demonstration that revolution is a continuation of the inclusive national liberation project that our ancestors launched for the sake of freedom.
Today the Syrian people are fighting under the slogan “the Syrian people are one,” reaffirming that their struggle will continue for a new independence that brings this era of tyranny to an end.
Syria is calling upon all its sons and daughters: the challenges are many and changing. Our duty is to continue organizing work and mobilizing the efforts until the overthrow of the murderous Assad regime that brought Syria back under occupation, but this time a multi-occupation by Russia, Iran and multinational terrorist sectarian militias.
On the anniversary of the Evacuation Day, we reaffirm the determination and firm will of the Syrian people to regain true independence through which all the Syrian people will enjoy freedom, dignity and rights. The revolution will continue until victory.
May our wounded recover, our detainees be free, and our fallen heroes rest in peace.
Long live Syria and its people, free and with honor.
