In the meantime, huge crowds of people in Deir Eazzor expressed on Saturday their rejection of foreign interference in Syria's internal affairs and their support to the comprehensive reform program led by President Bashar al-Assad.

Participants waved flags and placards highlighting the sacrifices of the Syrian army and stressing the Syrian people will foil all conspiracies aimed at undermining Syria's stances which support the Resistance.

The participants called on all Syrian people to stand together in the face of those who are implementing foreign agendas in coordination with some Arab states.
