A few years ago the criminal and thug Putin killed his wife and children.

His wife and children were killed — these are his children — by the criminal and murderer Putin.

What I remember are tens, no, hundreds, no, thousands of massacres against the Syrian people.

And today he is slaughtering people in Ukraine up to this very hour.

I want today to send a message from this gathering.

No — not the so-called opposition.

I want to make it clear: we are a revolution, not the opposition.

The opposition that went and sat with the Russian, with the killer, and empowered him — and still does.

For those negotiations that are supposed to deliver a constitution for everyone.

We are a revolution, not the opposition.

This is the opposition of al-Nu'man.

Whose children were killed: the criminal Putin killed his children and his wife some years ago.

Today is the anniversary of the death of these children.

The anniversary of this family’s death.

Who were killed by the criminal Putin.

And we return to all the opposition.

We are a revolution, not the opposition.

We did not start the revolution for the sake of the constitution.

Nor to negotiate with the regime and with the Russian.

Our revolution continues until it achieves all its goals.

And of course we are not sectarian.

The sectarian ones are the criminal and murderer Bashar al-Assad and his regime.

Syria is neither geographical, nor regional, nor tribal.

Nor family-based.

Syria is for all the children of the Syrian people.

Even if during the year they killed us, oppressed us, and displaced us,

we still say

Syria is for all the children of the Syrian people.
