There are parties that don't want the state to be built properly and firmly from the outset.

And this is what we must resist somehow so that we get past the earliest stages of danger.

I do not think Syria faces a risk of partition.

There are, among some people, desires to partition Syria.

And attempts to set up local, internal cantons within it.

But logically, politically, by custom, and rationally,

this is impossible.

Because it depends on certain circumstances.

Today, the current map on which the world stands

and which was established after World War I,

and the aftermath of World War II made only narrow and minor updates or changes,

Changing today's maps at the global level

is highly dangerous and very hard to carry out.

That is why some places sometimes see ferocious wars

under the banner of partition,

and one side is backed by Western and international powers, and so on,

and that side seeks to pursue partition,

and still has not obtained that approval after 25 or 30 years,

For example, South Sudan, as an example,

even though it was backed by the West.

And the world did not support the government's approach in Sudan

But it did not gain independence easily or smoothly

Why? Because changing current borders triggers contagion

Any place that is partitioned anywhere in the world

There are people who want partition

In Catalonia in Spain

In Northern Ireland

A region in Germany

Some people in Turkey

In Iraq and so on

So any place where partition succeeds

Then it spreads

Therefore the world fears endorsing any kind of partition

So it does not support it in any form

Even if many complications and surrounding circumstances arise in it

So anyone who demands any kind of partition in Syria

He is politically ignorant

And a dreamer

And many times, dreamy ideas lead their proponents to suicide

He is not explaining his reality well

So he raises the bar to a certain level

And aspires to it

He hears a little encouragement

He takes a step forward

He throws himself off a high mountain

He plummets to the bottom

So the factors for partition in Syria are not present with any side

They are not present with any side

And it's almost impossible in Syria.

Generally, Syrian society is not amenable to partition.

Even in some areas where there is some sentiment toward partition

the people of these areas themselves are against partition.

Therefore, I believe that…

But under provocative headlines

they provoke society's feelings

and they provoke citizens' feelings.

And the proponent of this call brings nothing but harm on himself

and on the society he is trying to protect in one way or another.

Practically speaking, some parties also

try to lean on a regional power for strength

such as Israel or others too.

And I think this is very difficult.

And it cannot be implemented.

Because the southern region

is an area with a dense population,

and any enemy who wants to enter it

will be forced to put a policeman at the door of every house.

This is somewhat difficult in the current reality.

Consequently,

the phase some parties are trying to provoke in Syria

amounts to mere annoyances,

if I may put it that way,

and an attempt to wield pressure as a threat

to drag Syria into certain places.

So I am not greatly alarmed

by this call,

and I see that the chances

in the battle to liberate Syria

A very big opportunity for peace

And what's happening in the media

On the table, it's completely different
