Asaad al-Zoubi, head of the Syrian opposition
delegation of High Negotiations Committee (HNC) in Geneva, revealed to
Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper the existence of a plot aimed at establishing
an independent Alawite state which chunked out from Syrian grounds and
will go by “Handy Syria”.
In his phone interview on Saturday,
al-Zoubi confirmed that based on a Russian plan, which is getting
Russian-Iranian collaboration, mayhem will be sparked at the core of
Syria in the upcoming few hours.
The campaign will launch on the
premise of annihilating all signs of revolution and will set the
foundations to Syria shifting to federalism.
Alawites, also known as Alawis, are part of a branch of Islam, which is centered in Syria.
As for Russian intentions on establishing a “Handy Syria”, al-Zoubi said
that the Russians are looking to establish a state for themselves that
encompasses the landscape between Afrin- a district as well as a city in
northern Syria and a part of the Aleppo governorate- all the way to
al-Khamsi area, in order to isolate and besiege the southern side of
Turkish borders.
The takeover will inhibit supply delivered to the
Free Syrian Army (FSA). Not to mention that it will also cut off the
Syrian people residing in those particular areas. The eventual aim of
the plot is to provide Alawites a northern state. However, a part of the
western side of Aleppo is expected to be handed down to the Kurds.
Kurds in Syria are people born in or residing in Syria and who are of
Kurdish origin. The Kurds are the largest ethnic minority in Syria,
comprising less than 10% of the country’s population.
