On the 5th anniversary of the Syrian Uprising, Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Turkey and its supporters held a picket at the Muhammad al-Fateh Mosque in the city of Istanbul after Jummah prayer 22 Jumada I 1436 AH - 13 March 2015 CE against the crusader coalition and in support of the sincere people of Ash-Sham Revolution titled, "Syria, We Stand with you and remain with you!"

The funeral prayer in absentia was led by Hizb ut Tahrir Media Office Representative of / Wilayah Turkey, Mahmut Kar. Afterwards, Osman Yıldız, who is one of our writers, explained the reasons of the gathering. The press statement delivered by Köklü Değişim writer Musa Bayoğlu highlighted the following important points.

"Oh Muslims! We are here as the Ummah of our blessed Prophet (saw) who described us as the limbs of one body! We are here in order to remind the oppressors of Allah's heavy torment and to expose the betrayal of the traitors! We are here in order to support and to back our brothers and sisters of Syria, and to shout out that they are not alone!"

The announcement of Musa Bayoğlu addressed the Syrian people. The announcement aiming at the USA, Russia, the West and Iran contained very precise and strident statements. Turkey, Jordan and other Muslim countries who support the crusader coalition under the leadership of the USA with the aim of eradicating the Syrian uprising, received stern warnings due to their betrayal.

The explanations regarding Turkey were as follows: "Oh rulers of Turkey! It is evident that you liaise with your master America in order to besiege the Syrian uprising. Oh Erdoğan! Oh Davutoğlu! Everybody sees and knows that your heated speeches of being together with the Syrian people are only empty words. While you make heroic speeches, you do not run to the rescue of the children losing their lives under the masses of ruins. You did not move for the rescue of the women who shouted out for Mutasım. But you deemed the relocation of a tomb a heroic act. There is no honour left in Syria which is not trampled on. But you regarded the carrying of sarcophagus as an honor."

The press statement asked the AKP the following question: "We ask you now, from where did the planes take off who carried the bombs to be showered on the Atme village only 500 metres away from the boarder? Don't you know about the newborn babies killed at the hospital? Who gave the coordinates of the assassinated brave commanders to the US soldiers? Against whom do you carry out America's TRAIN-AND-EQUIP?"

The press statement was frequently interrupted by takbirat and slogans. The Ummah left after chanting "The Ummah wants Khilafah "Caliphate" - There is no God but Allah, and the Khilafah "Caliphate" is Allah's promise" slogans.
