Documents obtained by Zaman
Alwasl showed that Bashar al-Assad’s Authorities had agreed to arm Syrian Business men, especially
in the embattled city of Aleppo over security precautions.
Activists said that most merchants
of Syria's commercial capital had build up strong ties with Assad’s regime, as
many of them have been supporting the army and Shiite militants by money.
Despite the old documents, dated on
March 27, 2012 and issued by Aleppo Commerce Chamber, Activists keep saying
that unannounced convention between Aleppo's businessmen with Regime.
Syria's nearly three-year conflict began as
popular protests against four decades of Assad family rule but changed into
armed insurgency under a security force crackdown.
More than 140,000 people killed and
over 6 million - more than a quarter of the population - forced to flee their
homes.
