Istanbul, Mar 12 (EFE / EPA) .- (Camera: Tolga Bozoglu) Nasr al Hariri, president of the Syrian National Coalition (CNFROS), the main opposition alliance outside the country, says that the regime of President Bachar al Assad would fall "in a few days" without the support of Moscow and Tehran, and is pessimistic about reaching a possible political agreement.FOOTAGE OF THE INTERVIEW WITH AL HARIRI TRANSLATION"We all know that the regime has fallen and the regime structures in and around Damascus are maintained thanks to Iranian and Russian intervention. If these two countries thought of withdrawing from Syria, Bashar al-Assad's regime would fall in a few days. And now despite its presence in Syria providing it with military, security and economic support, the signs of the fall of the regime continue. Proof of this is the great economic collapse suffered by the areas controlled by the regime and the protests, sit-ins and activities carried out carried out by our revolutionaries.""Syrians have not known or participated in elections in five decades and those who participated did so under coercive forces. This regime has monopolized the democratic process under the cover of the murderous dictatorial regime, so what happened in previous elections does not concern us. ""How can these elections represent Syrians when hundreds of thousands of people are in the regime's prisons perhaps just because of their political vision? How can these elections represent Syrians when we have 14 million people forced to leave their homes ?"The free international community that supported the aspirations of the Syrians, believed in them and democracy, must seek regular and planned collective actions not to recognize these elections not only at the political level, but also at the diplomatic and legal level to completely illegitimate to this regime and start a new page where Syrians can choose their own leaders. ""The Turkish presence is at the will of the Syrians and in alliance with them, and it is a temporary measure aimed at fighting terrorism, protecting civilians and seeking a political solution. When we achieve a political solution, we demand the total exit of the Syrians. foreign forces, Iran the first. ""The regime will not reach a political solution either through the Constitution or through the humanitarian issue or through any of the channels proposed by Security Council resolution 2254 and the Geneva declaration. Therefore, the regime continues to rely on a military solution and uses the political process to keep the world occupied. ""Syrians cannot meet and congregate at a table in one place in the presence of this regime and the leader of this regime. It is not possible to expel foreign forces and stop the killings without the departure of Bashar al-Assad. You cannot fight. against terrorism and the world cannot restore its relationship with the Syrians and the Syrian state, nor can the refugee problem be solved without ridding itself of Bashar al-Assad. "
