Dear friends, comrades,
We are gathered here today to voice our solidarity with the brave steadfast people of Syria in their struggle for freedom.
And from here we salute the brave people of Aleppo; Aleppo which President-elect of the NCRI, Maryam Rajavi rightly called the eternal symbol of resistance and an inspiration to the people of the region and all freedom seeking people striving to liberate themselves from the oppression of the religious dictatorship ruling Iran and its mercenaries.
Today we witness the destruction of Syria on day to day basis via social media, it was evident in recent weeks that Aleppo was occupied by the IRGC and its mercenaries, with over 25000 militias on the ground; while the international community idly sat by and turned a blind eye on the situation on the ground in Syria; this inaction against the greatest carnage and crime against humanity in the 21st century is an inerasable stain, a shame and a mockery of the international community.
In recent weeks it has become more evident and clear that the Iranian regime is the source of crisis in the region and the killings in Syria, and we will only witness peace and tranquility in the region once the Iranian regime is evicted from the region.
Tonight, millions around the world honor and celebrate the birth of Christ, this Christmas eve we wish that the oppressed people of Syria and Iran will also see the face of peace, joy, and prosperity.
And we call on people around the world to join in solidarity with the brave people of Syria for freedom and democracy and keep them in their prayers tonight.
Syria and Aleppo are in our hearts and the message of the martyrs and victims will resonate through time; as we vow to continue this struggle till the dawn of freedom
