Statement on the Establishment and Launch of the "Military Council for the Liberation of Syria":
After the extremist jihadist terrorist regime, which has seized our homeland with the support of foreign powers and currently rules by imposing a de facto situation without any legal or constitutional legitimacy, has completely failed to protect the country and its citizens-leading to an unprecedented deterioration of security, economic, and humanitarian conditions in the history of our nation-
And after our land has been violated by foreign forces, we, the leaders of the National Syrian Armed Forces, declare the establishment of the Military Council for the Liberation of Syria.
This council represents the will of the free Syrian people and aims to achieve the following objectives:
-The complete liberation of Syrian territory from all occupying and terrorist forces.
-The overthrow of the current regime and the dismantling of its sectarian oppressive apparatus.
-The protection of the lives and property of Syrian citizens.
-The reconstruction of state institutions on national and democratic foundations.
-The preparation for the return of refugees and displaced persons to their homes.
-The establishment of a unified, sovereign Syrian state that respects human rights and guarantees justice and equality for all its citizens.
-We affirm to our people that we do not seek power; our sole objective is to liberate Syria and build a better future for its people.
We call on all Syrians, from all sects, regions, and ethnic backgrounds, to join our ranks and stand with us in this historic phase.
We also call on the international community to support the Syrian people's will for freedom from oppression and tyranny and to stand with us in achieving our noble goals.
We believe that victory is ours, and that Syria will once again be free, dignified, secure, stable, and prosperous.
