The most important points contained in the speech of the chairman of the Coalition Sheikh Moaz Al Khatib


Peace be upon you from the people slaughtered under the eyes of the world for two years
Peace of God be upon you from the people of planes bombing bakeries
Only the Syrian people have been bombed by their own air force while standing in a bakery line.
Peace of God be upon you martyrs and people who remain steadfast in your quest for freedom
Peace of God be upon you people who are courageous in your determination to topple the largest idol on the ground in Syria.
We hate war and fighting and began with a peaceful revolution.
Does the right of self-defense that other people have exercised for years not apply where people are being slaughtered?
Syrian people continue to pay for their freedom with their own blood as different international perspectives have only contributed to the complexity of the issue
The granting of the Syrian chair of the Arab League is part of the reestablishment of the legitimacy that has been denied to the Syrian people
The role of the neighboring Arab countries should one of understanding the need for civilized leadership
There have been constant attempts to confuse the Syrian revolution as being a sectarian struggle.
But who killed Major General Ghazi Kanaan and arrested Dr. Abdel Aziz al-Khair?
What is happening in Syria is a war between justice and injustice.
The people of Syria will not allow their revolution to be hijacked by those who would continue to control and oppress them.
The Opposition will not sell out their homeland.
Every day the Syrian people are being slaughtered in the name of terrorism.
What about fighters from Iran and Hezbollah that have been fighting for the regime in Syria?
There are mothers from different countries who have told me that their children had gone to fight in Syria.
The Opposition itself and our fighters alone will determine Syria’s destination.
The people of Syria will decide how they will be governed and not give in to the dictates of just any country in the world...
Syrian people who birthed this revolution will make the determination.
Syrian people reject the tutelage of any party in the decision.
Syrian people are paying dearly for their freedom.
Talking about terrorism in Syria! Is state terrorism for two years acceptable?!
Syrian people do not need to be policed by outside powers.
There will not be a civil war.
It was we who started a peaceful revolution and the regime responded with murder by using our own weapons against us.
The regime rejects any solution to the Syrian crisis while we welcome any political solution.
We asked for the release of detainees and they refused to do so.
We have proof of countless arrests of women and children by the Assad intelligence.
The Opposition does not have Scud missiles and chemical weapons.
We call on behalf of our people for support of the Opposition in all its forms and manifestations.
We call for freezing the funds of the regime and ask you to give us Syria’s seat at the United Nations
Support of the United States must be more than food and humanitarian support
We ask the U.S. Secretary of State for missile defense to protect civilians in Syria
I thank the State of Qatar and Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Lebanon, Kurdistan, Iraq, Turkey, Libya and Egypt
Khatib calls for Arab countries to facilitate the transactions of Syrians in their country
Khatib of Arab rulers: “Fear God in your people, forgive me for departing from diplomatic norms
I ask that all Arab countries should release all detainees in the Arab World…
Granting Syria’s seat to us is the beginning of restitution towards us…
We want the Syrian seat in the United Nations and other international organizations…”
