On this occasion, permit me to
express our support to Syria in its con-
frontation of the Zionist-imperialist
aggression. All our Arab people and
their nationalist and progressive forces
stand by Syria, as do the forces of libe-
ration and progress, especially the Soviet
Union, our strategic ally.
We see the necessity of firmly
confronting the US military presence
by all means, including striking US
imperialist interests and intensifying
the national democratic struggle of all
the Arab people.
We in Democratic Yemen pledge to
strengthen the role of our progressive
regime in order to decisively combat
all forms of aggression ard conspiracies
against our sovereignty and national
independence. Moreover, we pledge
to participate with all our capacity in
the struggle of the Arab national libe-
ration movement against imperialism,
Zionism and reaction.
Arab Socialist Baath Party
Today we celebrate a_ very
significant occasion: the 16th
anniversary of the establishment of the
PFLP, a_ revolutionary nationalist
organization that has _ contributed
many militant fighters and heroic
martyrs to the Palestinian revolution.
The Front therefore deserves the full
_ respect of strugglers everywhere...
This celebration comes as the Arab
nation is passing through a most
dangerous and significant juncture in
its confrontation with its enemies. At
this moment, conspiracies are
escalating through the aggressive
imperialist plans in the area. These
plans began with the Sinai agreement,
then the Camp David accords, and
culminated in US imperiaJism’s move
from threatening Arab national
security to direct military intervention
in Lebanon against the Syrian and
Lebanese nationalist forces. This
aggression is the direct result of the
recently declared strategic alliance
between the US and ‘Israel’. This
alliance aims to subjugate the Arab
world to US-Israeli hegemony, rob
what remains of Arab resources and
isolate the Arab nation from its friends
-the socialist community and national
liberation movement of the world...
Our position on the Palestinian
question, our central cause, is a firm,
ideological one. Our commitment to
the Palestinian revolution, led by the
PLO, the sole, legitimate represen-
tative of the Palestinian people, is
principled and consistent. No deviatio-
nist or capitulationist can distort this
solid position. We are for the unity of
Fatah and of the PLO, and for ending
the internal differences through
democratic dialogue, based on stren-
gthening the nationalist political pro-
gram. We in Syria, as always, are for
the unity of the revolution and against
any attempt to liquidate it politically
or militarily. Based on this, we support
the independent decision that confronts
the Zionist-US imperialist enemy...
US imperialism and its agents in the
area should know that the Arab world
will not be a farm or a deserted field
for its forces. Moreover, Syria, while
confronting the US-Zionist attack, is
not alone. It is supported by a solid,
internal popular front, the Arab
masses, all freedom fighters in the
world and their vanguard, the socialist
camp and the Soviet Union. In due
time, the US and its agents will know
that Arab Syria is not to be swallowed
at will.

Democratic Yemen for its uncon-
ditional support to the Palestinian revo-

is challenging imperialism’s plans in
our area. He concluded by saluting the
Palestinian people under occupation
and also the fighters of the Palestinian
revolution and the Lebanese nationalist
