SOT, SAA soldier (Arabic): "Douar al-Maliya was liberated thanks to the SAA and the tears of the martyrs. This is for the martyrs who scarified their lives here for Aleppo and its western neighbourhoods, Zahraa and its region is free, Naanaa square, the castle. Zahraa was difficult to liberate, words are nothing compared to the scarifies of young people. Thank god after 8 years of hard work and 4 years of clashes they [militants] failed to enter the area. We have the full right and sovereignty, we are not mercenaries, we don`t get money, we own the land, the sovereignty, we are an army with principles under the guidance of the Bashar al-Assad, we were raised like that. We all reflect the morals of our families and the Syrian Army that taught us how to deal with civilians , armed groups and defend our cause. Zahraa was liberated and soon all of Syria will be liberated because it's our cause."
