We, the Damascus revolutionary coordination, condemn the actions of some
battalions and of the Islamic State of Iraq and Sham (ISIS) against our
people the Kurds and demand the transfer of their battle to and against the
Syrian regime in Damascus and in the besieged cities. These groups should
leave the areas with a Kurdish presence being attacked under Islamic
slogans and the execution of suicide operations that serve agendas of
countries that do not want Syria’s stability, the Kurds are an ancient
people and they were among the first participants in the revolution
These acts brought a state of anxiety in the region, and increased the
fears and apprehensions of its children because of the bad intentions of
those armed groups who were angered from its relative stability and
peaceful coexistence between its components.
Kurds are our brothers in blood and our partners in the homeland ..
We also demand the release of detainees from the people in these battalions
and call on the leadership of the National Coalition for the forces of the
revolution and the leadership of the Free Syrian Army to lift the lid on
all those who are covered by them, and engage in acts detrimental to the
Syrian revolution and its objectives, but serve its enemies, including the
regime itself, we also appeal to the children of the Kurdish people and to
all the people of the Jazira to increase their vigilance and solidarity to
protect their area and their children and who they are, and remain loyal to
the noble objectives to which throb the peaceful revolution, a revolution
of freedom and dignity.
Long live an eternal free Syria

Syria Feature: When State Propagandas Collide — North Korea vs. Damascus

State news agencies of both the Syrian and North Korean regimes were busy
this week, tasked with reporting a visit by delegates from Syria’s ruling
Baath Party to Pyongyang.

Both the Syrian Arab News
Agency<http://sana.sy/eng/22/2013/07/25/494220.htm> (SANA)
and the Korean Central News Agency <http://www.kcna.co.jp/index-e.htm> (KCNA)
used the visit to express key propaganda messages to their home audiences.

[image: Bashar al-Assad is a popular figure in the
DPRK]<http://eaworldview.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/assad-in-north-korea-portrait2-e1374825063332.jpg>

For KCNA, the visit was — unsurprisingly — all about North Korean leader
Kim Jong U and his roles, *First secretary of the Workers’ Party of Korea,
first chairman of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK and supreme
commander of the Korean People’s Army”*.

With that introduction of the way, KCNA explained that the Syrians were
visiting *to participate in the celebrations of the 60th anniversary of the
Korean people’s victory in the great Fatherland Liberation War”.*

Ah, so the story is all about the Great Fatherland Liberation War — a.k.a.
the Korean War of 1950-53 and the victories of Kim Jong Un (even though he
was not alive at the time)?

Well, not at SANA. For the Syrian news agency’s reporters, the visit was
all about North Korea’s unwavering support for Bashar al-Assad: *Democratic
Korea’s President Kim Jong Un affirmed his country’s absolute solidarity
with Syria in the face of imperialism, adding that the US and Israel will
never be able to defeat Syria.*

And not only Assad but all his loyal subjects got a shout-out from
Kim: *President
Jong Un expressed during the meeting his greetings to President Bashar
al-Assad and the Syrian people, noting that the Syrian participation in the
celebrations constitutes a great encouragement for the people of Democratic
Korea.*

Opening statements made, it is on to the main story. For KCNA, Kim Jong Un
is still out front, with the Syrian delegation respectfully offering
“warmest congratulations” to both the Leader and the “friendly Korean
people”.

But what are those congratulations for? In case the reader forgot a few
paragraphs earlier, KCNA helpfully reminds,
*The occasion of the 60th anniversary of the victory in the Fatherland
Liberation War”*.

And the Leader’s personality shines through — like an update of Pride and
Prejudice’s Lady Catherine de Bourgh — as he “warmly welcomed” the Syrians
who, he condescendedly added, had “made a long trip to the DPRK”.

Why had the Syrian delegation made the trip? Can anybody remember?

*For taking part in the celebrations of the 60th anniversary of the victory
in the Fatherland Liberation War
*

Still in his warm welcome, Kim Jong Un “extended a militant salute to
President Bashar Al-Assad and the Syrian people”. Indeed, it was a “great
encouragement” to North Koreans that Syria had despatched delegates.

What was their destination?

*“The celebrations of the 60th anniversary of the victory in the war”*

And, incidentally, the two sides discussed bilateral relations in a “a
friendly and amicable atmosphere”.

SANA, inconceivably, misses the Fatherland Liberation War — at least the
one of 1953 rather than 2013. Instead, it records a condemnation of “all
forms of foreign interference by the international imperialism in Syria’s
internal affairs”.

SANA’s Kim Jong Un was particularly concerned by the fact that *if the
aggression on Syria continues, it would drag the entire Middle East into a
conflict of severe consequences that would threaten the international peace
and security
*.

In case that is too dire a story-line, SANA highlights Kim Jong Un’s
confidence that Assad will be “victorious” —”thanks to the unity between
the Syrian people, army, and leadership”.

SANA notes that the Syrian delegation — clearly gratified by such
overwhelming support from Kim Jung Un and the Korean people for “just Arab
causes, particularly those of Palestine and the occupied Syrian Golan” —
ended on a note of mutual defiance of the international community.

North Korea, the Syrian delegation said, had a “right to possessing
peaceful nuclear energy…[for] “the development and progress of its
society”, which would help “unify the Korean peninsula”.

[Editor's Note: SANA did not touch on whether the South Koreans wished to
be unified with nuclear energy.]
