81 years have passed since the crime of skinning Alexandretta from the motherland Syria, but this sinister memory  is still alive in the conscience of the Syrians who are committed to restoring their rights and recovering every inch of the soil of their land, no matter how long it takes.

The plot to plunder Alexandretta in 1939 due to its wealth was carried out  after the falsification of facts under a tripartite agreement between Turkey and the French and British occupations at that time. The conspiracy is still clearly present in our minds especially with the attempts of the current Turkish regime led by Recep Tayyip Erdogan to redraw the same scenario through its support of terrorist organizations and its aggression on Syrian territory.

The ominous tripartite agreement was made as a kind of bribe in exchange for Turkey standing by the allies in World War II. However, Alexandretta's  usurption did not gain the recognition of the UN League nor later the United Nations, which means that from the international point of view this area will remain Syrian territory.

Damascus, (ST) - The People's Assembly affirmed that the Alexandretta is Syrian Arab land, and it is always present in the minds and consciences of the Syrian people who have proven to the whole world that every attempt to steal any part of their land will only be met with more struggle and resistance to restore rights.

In a statement issued today on the occasion of the eighty-first anniversary of the usurpation of Alexandretta, the Assembly indicated that the twenty-ninth of November 1939 is a sinister date in the memory of Syrians, Arabs and nationalists, because on this date , Syrian Arab land was seized, through a clear and arbitrary fraud.

 The Assembly said that, “what Turkey has done during the past ten years and what it is doing today in of support of armed terrorist organizations is an attempt to repeat its past experiences against our people in Alexandretta through the attacks of the Erdogan regime in support of terrorism and its countless crimes against Syrians .

The years of war against Syria have been long and all the masks have fallen of those who participated and plotted against Syria, and with the exposure of many facts, goals and interests that prompted some countries to participate in the dirty war on Syria, the Turkish position still needs more light and clarification.

Turikish hostile policy and direct support to terrorists places Turkey at the heart of the storm and exposes it to risks. What Turkey has done is played with fire and danced on the edge of the abyss , thanks to its bloody history and hostile policies that have turned its relations with all neighboring countries to zero, as the Turkish state bears direct responsibility for the explosion of the wave of asylum to Europe, and the return of terrorists through it to their countries, which eliminates their chances of joining the European Union and makes it an impossible dream .

This leads us to think about the fundamental goal that required all this madness, which has amounted to the political suicide of Erdogan's regime.

The Ottoman-Erdogan dream of gnawing more Syrian lands made him fierce in supporting, protecting and aiding terrorists, and comes within the framework of renewing his old - new dream, in gnawing what he called the state of Aleppo - according to the map of dividing Syria . In a report by the Russian Sputnik agency, in which it stated that Turkey was able to steal  Liwa Iskanderoun (Alexandretta) from Syria with European support.

New York Times described the prominent Syrian writer Hanna Minh as a historian of the poor and the oppressed, through dozens of his novels, and is considered one of the first Arab novelists to use social realism. Minh has written for half a century and many of his works have been transferred to cinema and television. However, only two of his works have been translated into English.

ALEPPO, (ST)- Marking the 80th anniversary of usurping the Syrian Arab Alexandretta (Liwa Iskenderun) by the Turkish occupation, the Aleppo Charity organization for the people of Liwa Iskenderun held a festival in Aleppo to confirm that Iskenderun is Syrian Arab land.
The festival included an operetta telling the story of the conspiracy to usurp Alexandretta.

Several speeches were made during the festival highlighting Turkey's black history of colonialism since  the capturing of Alexandretta until now. Speakers stressed that this bloody history is repeating itself today in the countryside of Aleppo, Hassaka where the Turkish occupation forces are dedicating their abilities to take part in shedding Syrian blood within the framework of the global war being waged on Syria.
