Alwaght- Syrians have marked International Workers' Day as the country's army continues to achieve major battlefront victories against foreign-backed terrorists.
Under the patronage of President Bashar al-Assad, the General Federation of Trade Unions on Tuesday organized a central celebration on occasion of International Workers’ Day.
The event was held at the headquarters of the United Trade and Industrial Company (Al-Khumasiya) in Damascus. Chairman of the General Federation Jamal al-Qaderi said that this year, the International Workers’ Day is celebrated as the Syrian Arab Army is achieving major victories against terrorism, making this occasion a celebration of the victory of values and principles.
He said that this event also commemorates the workers who were martyred.
Al-Qaderi said that the working class is a true partner in the victory against terrorism, as it supported the army and provided what the Syrian people needed to remain steadfast in the most difficult conditions.
Since March 2011, the United States and its regional allies, in particular Saudi Arabia have been conducting a proxy war by supporting terrorists to topple the Syrian government.
