المقداد يحذر من مهاجمة الأردن وتركيا: لن نتنازل عن سيادتنا وان اندلعت حرب عالمية ثالثة
Read this story in English
اكدت دمشق الاربعاء انها لن تغير موقفها تحت وطأة التهديدات بضربة عسكرية غربية محتملة ضدها، وان ادى ذلك الى اندلاع "حرب عالمية ثالثة"، بحسب ما قال نائب وزير الخارجية السوري فيصل المقداد لوكالة "فرانس برس".
كما اكد المقداد ان بلاده اتخذت "جميع الاجراءات للرد" على اي ضربة عسكرية غربية محتملة قد تشنها الولايات المتحدة ضدها، ردا على اتهام نظام الرئيس السوري بشار الاسد بشن هجوم مفترض بالاسلحة الكيميائية قرب دمشق في 21 آب.
وقال المقداد: "لن تغير الحكومة السورية موقفها ولو شنت حرب عالمية ثالثة. لايمكن لاي سوري التنازل عن سيادة واستقلال سوريا".
واضاف: "اذا ارادت فرنسا التعاون مع القاعدة والاخوان المسلمين كما دعمتهم في مصر ومناطق اخرى في العالم سوف لن تنجح في ذلك في سوريا".
واوضح المقداد "لن نعطي معلومات عن كيفية رد سوريا... وسوريا سيدافع عنها شعبها وجيشها وقد اتخذت كافة الاجراءات للرد على اي عدوان" في اشارة الى الضربة العسكرية الغربية المحتملة ضدها.
ولفت الى ان "سوريا في اطار ميثاق الامم المتحدة يحق لها الرد لان هذا العدوان لا مبرر له في القانون الدولي".
واشار المقداد الى انه "عندما يطلق الصاروخ الاول فلا يمكن لاي كان ان يحدد ما هي التطورات التي قد تنجم عن ذلك".
واكد نائب وزير الخارجية أيضا، أن النظام السوري سيقوم بحشد حلفائه لمواجهة واشنطن وحلفاءها.
وأشار الى أن "الولايات المتحدة تقوم الان بحشد حلفائها للعدوان على سوريا واعتقد بالمقابل ان من حق سوريا ان تحشد حلفاءها ليقوموا بدعمها بمختلف اشكال الدعم" دون ان يحدد كيف سيكون هذا الدعم.
واوضح "ان ايران وروسيا وجنوب افريقيا والصين ودول عربية كثيرة رفضت هذا العدوان وهي على استعداد ان تقوم ضد هذه الحرب التي ستعلنها الولايات المتحدة وحلفاؤها، بما في ذلك فرنسا، على سوريا".
وبعد عامين ونصف على اندلاع النزاع في سوريا الذي اوقع اكثر من 110 الاف قتيل بحسب منظمة غير حكومية، تسعى الولايات المتحدة وفرنسا الى تشكيل ائتلاف لتوجيه ضربات الى النظام السوري ردا على "الهجوم الكيميائي".
واعتبر المقداد ان موقف موسكو، الحليفة الاساسية لدمشق، لم يتغير حيالها.
وقال المقداد "ان الموقف الروسي موقف ثابت ومسؤول وصديق ومحب للسلام"، مضيفا ان الرئيس الروسي فلاديمير بوتين "يعرف انه لا توجد اي اثباتات على تورط الحكومة السورية في مثل هذا العمل المشين لذلك هو عندما يتحدث في هذا الاتجاه يعبر عن الحقيقة لانه واثق ان سوريا في اطار تنسيقها مع الاتحاد الروسي لا يمكن ان تقوم بمثل هذه الاعمال".
من جهة أخرى قال المقداد لصحيفة "وول ستريت جورنال" الأميركية أنه "لن نرد على اسرائيل فقط بل سنرد على تركيا والأردن إذا شاركتا في الضربة على سوريا".
وحول الموقف الفرنسي من سوريا، وصفه المقداد بـ "المخجل ،وان باريس "تخضع" للولايات المتحدة، وذلك بحسب ما قال الاربعاء لوكالة فرانس برس.
وقال: "من المخجل ان الرئيس الفرنسي (...) يقول اذا وافق الكونغرس الاميركي ساحارب وان لم يوافق فانني لن احارب"، مشيرا الى ان ذلك يعطي انطباعا "وكأن لا قرار للحكومة الفرنسية".
واضاف: "ما هذه المهزلة؟ هل هذه فعلا فرنسا بحضارتها وتاريخها؟ هل هذه هي القيم الفرنسية؟".
وانتقد المقداد "خضوع فرنسا التام للسياسات الاميركية في المنطقة (...) فرنسا تقوم الآن بدور تابع (للولايات المتحدة)، ونحن نعتقد ان فرنسا اكبر من ذلك".
ورأى ان "الطريقة التي تقود من خلالها القيادة الفرنسية الحالية سياسة فرنسا الخارجية (...) طريقة مخجلة وطريقة منحطة ولا تستحق الاحترام لا في سوريا ولا في اي مكان في العالم".
واضاف المقداد "اتوقع ان يمارس البرلمان الفرنسي الحكمة والموضوعية وان يجسد فعلا المصالح الحقيقية لفرنسا في المنطقة".
واعلن رئيس الوزراء الفرنسي جان مارك ايرولت الاربعاء خلال جلسة نقاش امام البرلمان الفرنسي حول سوريا، ان "عدم التحرك" عسكريا يوازي "اغلاق الباب امام الحل السياسي للنزاع" الذي يشكل الطريق الوحيد برأيه الذي سيؤدي الى "رحيل" الاسد عن السلطة.
ويأتي الموقف السوري بعد ساعات مطالبة بوتين الدول الغربية بتقديم "ادلة مقنعة" للامم المتحدة على استخدام النظام السوري للسلاح الكيميائي، وتأكيده ان موسكو "ستكون جاهزة للتحرك باكبر قدر ممكن من الحزم والجدية" في حال ثبت ذلك، في تصريحات اعتبرت "مهادنة" للغرب.

Don't worry Mister Meqdad.... there is not going to be a WW III over Syria. You are not worth it. The Russians as per their cheap nature will sit, watch, and do nothing. I just wonder how you never retaliated to the Israeli aggressions since 1973? Do you know how many? Google it....LOL.

The Saudi-inspired human eaters will always bring invasions to Arabs since 500 years ago started with the Turks. Remember, the Saudi convinced us its better to be occupied by the Turks: they are Sunnis after all. Its laughable to see some people are cheering for Saudi-welcomed invasion

The Iranian-controlled baby-killers will always seek to have the Arabs invaded by the Farsis; it started 512 years ago with the Safavids. Remember, the Farsi convinced you it is better to die and have all of your people die and whatever country you blight with your presence burn rather than live up to International Human norms: you are brainwashed, after all. It's pitiful to see some people still supporting Farsi-promoted mass-murder of one's own population.

Israel has striked Syrian target several times in the past years, inlcuding the nuclear research plant in Deir Ezzor and chemical weapons depots. Syria hasn't lifted a single finger.

the best advise for Faisal Muqdad is Better to Remain Silent and Be Thought a Fool than to Speak and Remove All Doubt. for 2+ years, you have been unable to defeat a fragmented enemy that is under-armed and has no air support but you believe you are capable of taking them on along with the consequences attacking Turkey and Jordan brings? who buys this B.S.?

With a weakened army who until now is not able to crush the SFA, they want to fight the whole world around them? Better stick to the war of words...

what is it with these arab banana republic arab dictators--Saddam and Gaddafi boasted a lot too, and Bashar could probably ask them how that went.
It didn't work out too well for them though because they're DEAD.

Baker. Lies. I believe Germans and french 100 times more than Russians.
Besides what exactly do you likke in bachar? What is there to like?

Bye bye Bachar. Threats towards France, and now Jordan and turkey.... By the day, the dictator is deepening his graveyard.

Muqdad is heavier (Assa'al) than Sahhaf (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_Saeed_al-Sahhaf) and should get his own personal tomahawka labeled Sqootwlaaaa (with a Syrian accent).
Both Hafez and Bashar look like aliens. time to make them go back to their planet.

Ft. Amazing how you allow yourself to judge and attack people whose opinion is different from yours. So you don't like M14? You don't like a strong sovereign state? You believe Lebanon will prosper with the assadist regime nearby?
Or do you just have an anticonformist mindset that makes you automatically look at the other side of the coin in each situation, and that trapped you in defending the devil AKA Assad?

"Syria has taken every measure to retaliate against... an aggression,"
yeah, just like they did when israel bombed them twice... killou haki LOL

out of all the comments I read here haile.selassie is the only one who comments objectively and doesn't incite hatred towards others. Any argument seizes to be an argument when one starts name calling. state your points in a civilized manner and that's it. As for those who are not Lebanese and are paid to incite hatred between the us please stop pretending to be Lebanese from either group. You know very well who you are and you will be the first to attack me with your comments. I hope my comment changes your attitudes towards each other.
It amazes me how all you M14ers are cheer leading and celebrating international law violations by supporting and calling on the US to be Al-Qeada's Air Force. You people are sick.
Furthermore, if you M14ers think bombs aren't going to be dropped on Libnan, think again. Libnan will be just as hard hit, maybe not right away, but soon.
Keep cheering them on you idiots. Lets see how long you'll be cheering when you bust running away from F-22's.
BTW Thanks Naharnet for you fair and unbiased ways. Ive lost track of how many oh my accounts have been deleted. Cant handle the truth eh?? :)

Can't handle idiots..... Who keep whining after receiving warnings.

i would have called him flamerKaram..... you know the Israeli collaborator that doesn't get death penalty thanks to Aoun.

@FT: the majority of Americans are against strikes for economic purposes mainly, and out of fear of retaliations, not by ideology -bel 3akes. But most of them don't like the Assad regime, like any sane human would not like such a butcher and criminal.

ft--you support a butcher who has killed over 100k people who tries to get legitimacy from a country who has a dictator who killed 60 million people.
seriously dude, you are a brainwashed tool. FREE YOUR MIND.

the majority of theUS citizens are against this war not because ASSad did not gas his own people, they just don't want to get involved. Just because they don't want to get involved does not mean ASSad is innocent!

show us one piece of evidence that assad did not do it if you are so smart? LOL

Two dictators (Bashar and Putin) and Two Mullas (Hassoun and Khameni) decided against the world that the people of Ghouta committed suicide. No Chemicals were used, it was simply a tragedy.....
You want me to show you evidence, yet Im not accusing anyone. It's YOU and Al-Qeada and the US that are accusing Assad with no evidence. Do you understand now, or should i break it down for you some more....holy crap, its impossible for people to be this stupid.

sure thing, but lebanese do not care about lebanon otherwise they wouldn t follow like sheep irresponsible and mafiosi leaders like they do...

exactly.... nobody forces anyone to drive like nutjobs on the highways, steal each other, kill each other, abduct each other. this isn't the will of Bachar or Khamenei.(they are much worse) it's only the will of a few lebanese protected by LEBANESE political filth.

They will attack Turkey, Jordan and Israel. They did not mention Lebanon, will they not attack us or do they consider that they have us in the bag. Proof again that Lebanon is considered by the whole world as a HA state. I demand that Lebanon be placed on the list of Syria's defensive strikes. But then again that is already happening.

When they start talking like this, that's how you know that they are desperate.

they cannot even defeat the "terrorists " that they are fighting. Their days are numbered and I cannot wait till they receive a sound thrashing that will render them incapable of fighting anyone. The US will not let Assad leave Syria in one piece. I hope Iran and its followers are next.

yes we will attack jordan, turkey, saudi, US , france....with the ob'a'b of ghawar el tousheh.......yes we will fly nuclear war heads from battle station galactica down on washington DC .....sure you will...once the strikes are decided, half the army will change sides or go home......

yes we should unite for the sake of the country....but the assads will NEVER leave lebanon in peace just because they do not think we deserve to exist but only as a backyard where you throw your trash......

Yes I wish I was Bashar (he made a good living ruling a country), but I sure hate to be Syria or Lebanon with Bashar as a ruler.

u see? didctators are all the same, he wont step down even if it means WW3 or even if it means 10million dead! that why bachar has to cease to exist
