Referring to the statement of US Foreign Minister Mark Rubia This was written by Reuters.

In response to massacres in Western Syria, the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs called on all parties for peacekeeping, national unity and political dialogue. On Network X, the Office said that the stability of the country depends on the tolerance and coexistence of all communities.

Meanwhile, the new Syrian leader Ahmad Shara called for peace and national unity.

His office announced the establishment of a commission that investigates clashes in the west of the country. The High UN Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk called Shara to stop the mass killing.

« The United States condemns radical Islamist terrorists, including foreign jihadists who have murdered people in Western Syria in recent days, » said US diplomacy chief.

The Syrian Human Rights Organization (SOHR), which has been based in Britain and has long been monitoring the combat situation in Syria, said on Saturday that about 745 civilians were murdered on Friday and Saturday.

BBC and other Western media have said that they have not yet been independently verified. However, it is assumed that the current wave of violence in Syria has been the worst since the fall of the Assad regime at the end of last year.

The interim Syrian leader Shara said that it is necessary to « preserve national unity and civic peace, what it is possible ». « We can live together in this country, » he added.

The number of victims of the last four days, according to SOHR together with the gunmen, make up more than 1000. In addition to more than 700 civilians, according to Syrian exile, about 125 arms connected to new Islamists led by the government and 148 from the ranks of Assad's loyalists. Reuters said that at least 200 gunmen were killed according to sources from the new Syrian government.

On Sunday's speech in the Mosque in the capital of Damascus, according to the BBC, he noted that « what is currently happening in Syria is in the expected challenges ». According to the station, however, according to the station, he did not comment on the accusations that his supporters in the coastal provinces of Latakia and Tartus commit massacres. However, according to Reuters, his office announced in the afternoon the establishment of an independent committee to investigate the clashes.

Meanwhile, the UN Commissioner for Human Rights Türk called on to stop the massacres. « After the announcements of the provisional authorities on their intention to observe the right must quickly follow the steps to protect the Syrians, » he said. The UN agent for Syria, Geir Pedersen, expressed its horror over « very worrying news about civilian victims ».

The violence of the last days broke out after Thursday's assaults of government forces, the BBC writes. A spokesman for the Syrian Defense Ministry of Defense described the « insidious attacks » against the security forces.

Since then, clashes have grown in the fight between the Assad allies and the forces of the new government and have driven hundreds of civilians out of their homes off the Mediterranean coast. According to Reuters, crowds were looking for refuge at the Russian military base I am Hymmi in Latakia.

Syrians want « Russian protection »

Videos shared by Reuters are shown by dozens of people who chant « people want Russian protection » before the base. According to local media, dozens of families also fled to neighboring Lebanon.

In Latakie and Tartus there are a minority of the Alitites, which included former President Assad. The area is thus considered a bastion of supporters of the former regime. The alets, whose sect is an offshoot of Shiite Islam, accounts for about 10 percent of Syria's population, which is the majority Sunni.

President Assad's regime collapsed last year on December 8, when the Sunni Islamist insurgents from the Haját Tahrir Aš-Sham (HTS) at the end of November launched a lightning offensive at the end of November. Assad took office in the country in 2000 after the death of his father Hafiz Assad, who ruled the country since 1971.

The new government claims that it wants to respect religious minorities and that it does not want to take revenge to representatives of the former regime. At the same time, however, he wants to put in court people who have committed crimes under the former regime and violated the rights of the Syrians.
