Iranian history professor at Damascus University, Sadegh Ramezani stated in a December 22, 2024 appearance on Ofogh TV (Iran) that Syrian historical sources have always referred to the Ottoman rule in Syria as an "occupation," which is why Syrians have consistently resisted such regimes. He added that the "New Ottoman Empire" has sparked a negative reaction from Syrians, and that people were angered by the Turkish flag being raised over the Citadel of Aleppo. Ramezani predicted the emergence of movements and youth who will wage resistance against the new situation in Syria.
Sadegh Ramezani: "All the [historical] Syrian sources refer to the history of the Ottoman rule as an 'occupation,' which was unstable and ill-suited for the atmosphere and the reality of Syria. Therefore, [Syrians] constantly pursued resistance against these regimes. So the Ottoman government never had any place in the hearts of the Syrians. The 'New Ottoman Empire' that is so widely discussed in the media has produced a huge negative reaction from Syrians. People were very angry to see another flag raised over the Citadel of Aleppo.

"Movements and youth will certainly emerge, and they will wage resistance against this occupation and the separatism in Syria.
[...]
"Insecurity has taken over almost all of Syria, and this will instigate the formation of groups that we can refer to as Syrian youth resistance groups in the very near future."
