AK Party Spokesperson Çelik's striking statement on Syria: They have made a Plan B for themselves.

While the echoes of the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime in Syria continue; AK Party Spokesperson Ömer Çelik made striking statements.

"THEY HAVE MADE A PLAN B FOR THEMSELVES"

Speaking on Habertürk live broadcast, Çelik stated, "There is a changing reality on the ground, similar to Hezbollah focusing on Lebanon. When the support from below was withdrawn, the structure that stood collapsed. The intelligence chief is mentioned in relation to his brother Mahir's escape. This means that the main pillars of the massacre regime have seen the situation and made a plan B for themselves. Ultimately, they have also let go of the rope. Turkey supported HTS, and there are claims that HTS told Turkey to 'carry out these attacks.' Absolutely, such a thing is not the case. We said, 'Let there be no more bloodshed, let a political framework emerge.' Assad did not agree to this," he expressed.

Here are the highlights from Çelik's statements:

"HTS FIRST POSITIONED ITSELF FOR SELF-DEFENSE"

"There was a situation where many forces were stationed, which everyone knows and has memorized on television. The main origin of HTS was Idlib. There was a de-escalation zone in Idlib. Those present there on behalf of the regime were supposed to show respect. This had been going on for a long time. The regime was not respecting the de-escalation zone in Idlib. We were telling the elements there, 'Let there be no more bloodshed.' That is why we wanted to meet with Assad. The forces in Idlib endured up to a point. They said, 'We are not engaging in any movement, but the regime's attacks continue.' HTS first positioned itself for self-defense. Later, they moved to reclaim the areas that the regime had taken over, which should not have been touched.

"THE REGIME HAD NO CAPACITY TO FIGHT"

Once they easily took this place, they began to advance. It was seen that the regime's army had no capacity to fight in any way. They advanced so rapidly that neither a regime element resisted nor anything else was resisting. In fact, the regime army is not the main element in terms of defending its own territory. Instead, the proxy forces fighting were forming the main elements. When there was a withdrawal from those supporting elements, it was seen that the regime had no capacity to fight. In a statement made by Assad, he said, 'They told me that the positions were starting to collapse one by one. The Russians organized it and made me leave Syria.'

"ASSAD NEEDED TO ESTABLISH A COUNTRY BASED ON THE PEOPLE"

You see it in films about Hitler. When giving a briefing, he says, 'Let this army move,' and they respond, 'Yes, sir,' but when they go outside, they say, 'There is no such army left.' When asked, 'Why didn't you say so?' they reply, 'We couldn't say.' Assad needed to establish a country based on the people. He acted against the people. When the Arab Spring began, we evaluated that it would create a huge wave and overturn the regional countries. Our President made some suggestions; 'Make reforms, handle this wave without fractures, disintegration, or collapses.' Our President also made this suggestion to Assad. Assad accepted some of these. Delegations from Turkey began to travel back and forth to there.

"OUR INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES NEVER WITHDREW FROM THE FIELD"

Turkey's discussions with Colani, the Syrian National Army, and small groups are not new. Intelligence agencies have always been in contact. Despite America's characterization, do intelligence agencies not meet with them at all? If intelligence agencies do not engage in any way, they cannot know what is happening on the ground. Our intelligence agencies never withdrew from the field. There is a synchronized connection between the reality on the ground and our stance at the table.

RETURN OF SYRIANS

We talked about a dignified and voluntary return. Work is being done regarding ensuring security. At the same time, an economy is being established there. If they are farming, if they are growing olives. They also announced a 400% increase in salaries with the first decision they made. There are many things Turkey can help them with."
