[00:00:03] relationships of trust with [00:00:17] A batch of adulterated gasoline led to breakdowns and damage to hundreds of [00:00:21] cars and motorcycles due to this [00:00:23] gasoline. People today are saying that I was driving [00:00:27] on the road, suddenly my car broke down, it got stuck, there was nothing wrong with it, [00:00:30] suddenly it broke down just because I filled it with gasoline, and it turned out to be [00:00:33] adulterated. It seems that a batch of adulterated gasoline was distributed to [00:00:37] gas stations, leading to breakdowns [00:00:40] and damage to hundreds of cars and motorcycles. Wherever [00:00:44] you saw people here, they are telling us [00:00:48] After a series of that the gasoline is adulterated. The gasoline [00:00:49] is like red gasoline mixed with unhealthy substances. [00:00:52] Sadcop, the Syrian Company for Oil Derivatives, issued [00:00:56] a statement saying that it is [00:00:59] not recur with you? It recurs because they are not monitoring following up on the matter and will investigate it. But is this statement [00:01:02] enough? Who will compensate [00:01:05] I mean, they should conduct a study on these people for their damages? We will meet the affected people and we will meet with car mechanics [00:01:09] to hear more [00:01:11] from them. [00:01:16] May God bless you. How are you? I hope you are well. Thank God, you told me [00:01:20] a little while ago. I just took this car out. A batch of adulterated gasoline, bad gasoline, its color is not [00:01:24] right and it's completely useless. This is the sample [00:01:27] we just took out of the car. This is gasoline [00:01:30] It doesn't even smell right at all, [00:01:34] and its color is not [00:01:36] But the will does right at all. The valves are getting stuck [00:01:39] and hope does and the cars are not starting in the morning. People are complaining that there is no pressure in the engine, so the valves are [00:01:42] sticking and melting spark plugs and pistons at [00:01:46] the same time. This is the first time I've seen this. [00:01:49] administrative efforts Its color is close to diesel. I'm telling you, people think it's diesel. Its smell [00:01:52] is bad. It makes it very difficult to start cars, and they suffer from this problem. [00:01:54] للسيارات وعانوا من هالموضوع [00:01:57] O homes in It melts the spark plugs and sticks the valves, causing many problems. [00:02:00] We have had many cases, and everyone is complaining about this issue. People are stranded [00:02:03] on the streets, and I'm getting many issues because of this gasoline. [00:02:07] Many, many breakdowns. Everyone is complaining about this issue. How many [00:02:11] cars have come to you in the past few days? In the past, I mean yesterday and today alone, about [00:02:16] that would overcome 30-40 cars, all of them are suffering from it. On the phone, they are asking me that my car, for example, is doing [00:02:18] this, my car is doing this, so it's all, and now you see, these cars are [00:02:22] new, I mean, it hasn't run yet. The car hasn't driven anything. The car [00:02:25] was recently released, and it turned out, you see, the circuits are getting blocked. [00:02:29] I mean, there is a substance that is not right in this gasoline, there is a substance that is not right, [00:02:32] it is leading to the valves getting stuck. So, what do you think is the solution when such [00:02:36] stories recur? The solution requires following up on gas stations and seeing [00:02:40] the matter, I mean, where is the mistake? There is a mistake in the gasoline. The gasoline is completely bad. [00:02:43] Everyone is complaining, and I even filled this sample [00:02:46] for you. Do you think the gas station owners are the problem, or is it from [00:02:50] the supplier? I don't know, most likely from the supplier, but the gas station owner must have [00:02:54] an analysis of the material that is coming to him, or anything to see [00:02:57] this issue, to follow up on these matters. There are specialists in this, and they must [00:03:01] stating that such see, I mean, find a solution, I mean, it's a big damage to people, it's not a simple [00:03:05] damage. How much do the repair costs range? Some people have lost [00:03:08] their car engines. For example, a 2025 engine today costs [00:03:11] no less than $2000 or $1500. The Sonatas [00:03:15] today are $1500, $1200. So, some are losing their engines, [00:03:18] some have breakdowns that cost $100 for example, it solves it. Some [00:03:22] cost a lot, and people are suffering. Many people have suffered, and may God help [00:03:25] leads to a malfunction in the people, I mean. Amen, Lord. May God compensate the people, Lord, and may no one [00:03:29] be harmed. [00:03:34] Yes, by God, what happened due to [00:03:38] In every corner of this the gasoline made the engine like [00:03:39] because of adulterated diesel? Many, by God. This oil. You filled it with gasoline, from where? By God, my brother, [00:03:42] he filled it, I don't know from where, but it's only been two days. We just cleaned [00:03:46] the injectors, and now the engine has become [00:03:50] As a result of this like oil. It got stuck, it got stuck. What's the solution? [00:03:54] Yes, by God, the solution is that they find a solution [00:03:57] for the gasoline, I mean, all cars are new, I mean, like [00:04:03] all cars are modern, but this is because of the gasoline, I mean. [00:04:06] A little while ago, they drained this car, and red [00:04:09] with force. When it comes down on gasoline was coming out. This car too, no, red gasoline is coming out. [00:04:12] Now, thank God, it came out yellow, but [00:04:15] due to lack of quality, it's [00:04:18] coming out like this. Here it was all oil [00:04:22] because of the gasoline. So, how much will this cost you approximately? By God, I don't know, but [00:04:25] week before? I mean, this he hasn't told me how much it will cost. So, who will compensate your damage, [00:04:29] or these people? Of course, 100%, [00:04:33] to the city of Elche in no one. It will all come out of my pocket. It will all come out of [00:04:35] my pocket. And there are tens of thousands of people like you suffering from this [00:04:39] supervision, I mean, there shouldn't be fraud in thing. I mean, now he's telling me that since yesterday, five cars have come [00:04:42] just because of the gasoline. There shouldn't [00:04:46] and Baalbek in be any supervision on fuels, on gasoline, on diesel? No, no, [00:04:49] the reason is that there is no supervision on gasoline. Gasoline is coming out thick and being sold [00:04:53] to people. God help us, may God compensate your damage, Lord, may God [00:04:57] compensate your damage, Lord, may God cover your expenses. Yes, by God, something like [00:05:00] $250. It's finished repairing now. It just finished repairing because of [00:05:04] the gasoline. I mean, there is some substance that I don't know what it is mixed in it. What happened? [00:05:08] Where were you? Where did you fill up? I was going to Damascus, I filled up [00:05:11] after Hama at the gas station. Of course, I arrived [00:05:15] before Damascus, after Yabroud, the car broke down. [00:05:18] We pulled over to the right. There was no heat or anything, but the excuse was [00:05:21] that it was gasoline. What was in it? [00:05:25] It had a substance that was not like the gasoline that used to come before. What can I tell you? [00:05:28] I mean, it's a substance that has no gasoline smell at all. I mean, you don't feel [00:05:32] that it's gasoline. He kept [00:05:34] driving. The car had nothing wrong with it. I didn't see it suddenly [00:05:36] turn off by itself. Where did you bring it? Where did you fix it? [00:05:40] I brought it to Sarmada because there, there is no, [00:05:43] I mean, what can I tell you, here they know more. How did you [00:05:47] bring it to Sarmada? Your expenses for the operation? The operation, I mean, [00:05:50] lifting something like 75 and 250 with injectors, [00:05:53] spark plugs, cleanings, and sensors and problems. Who [00:05:57] will compensate for the damage? Yes, Lord of the Worlds. This is not [00:06:00] something we sell. It's our misfortune. And indeed, it is. This is a misfortune, I mean, we don't sell it. Thank God [00:06:04] for everything. So, what do you think is the solution so that this story doesn't recur? Now you have fixed it [00:06:07] and paid for it. How can this story [00:06:11] the gasoline that comes to Syria, I mean, there must be monitors [00:06:15] for certain things, [00:06:18] gasoline, analysis, and so on. I mean, now it happened to me, it happens [00:06:21] to others. I'm switching to diesel, it's better. First of all, [00:06:25] diesel is cleaner, and second, it's less expensive [00:06:28] and lasts longer. I mean, the other time I went, I had a diesel [00:06:31] BMW. I went to Damascus and Daraa, and I didn't leave [00:06:35] any place, and it didn't tell me anything. Of course, I filled up from Taybeh gas station. [00:06:39] Just now, we also received complaints about diesel. No, [00:06:42] I tried diesel. I went with gasoline, I went with diesel. Diesel, I traveled [00:06:46] several trips, and absolutely nothing happened to me. I went on a trip [00:06:50] with gasoline, and it broke down. So, I swore off gasoline. God be praised. [00:06:53] I hope this doesn't happen to you again, Lord. May God compensate your damage, Lord. May God [00:06:56] bless you. May God bless you, how are you? Welcome. [00:06:59] Thank God. May God keep you safe. Your car? Yes, by God. [00:07:03] How? By God, because of the gasoline. The gasoline is adulterated. [00:07:06] The car broke down. The injectors [00:07:09] and cylinder are gone, even the engine. [00:07:16] The car was parked, I filled it with gasoline and poured two cups of oil 10 so that the [00:07:19] valves wouldn't get damaged. So, what if it got damaged? You put oil on top of gasoline, and it doesn't... No, [00:07:23] gasoline damages the valves. It's better than [00:07:27] because the gasoline is adulterated. Where did you fill up? Did anyone else [00:07:30] get affected with you? By God, I filled up from Jisr al-Shughour, I filled it completely, [00:07:34] but the gasoline, at first, people were saying from yesterday that no one filled up at all, everyone was saying [00:07:37] it's adulterated. They told me to fill up from the gas station, what's its name, [00:07:40] Taybeh for the state. They said it's clean. I filled up, and he told me to add [00:07:44] oil. So, what's the solution? You got damaged. Who will compensate [00:07:48] your damage? By God, no one will. Who will compensate me? There [00:07:51] is no one. This is the second time an adulterated gasoline batch comes. [00:07:55] Exactly, yes, by God. Who do you think is responsible for this? Shouldn't there be [00:07:59] a body monitoring and regulating? Of course, someone must be responsible, inspect the gasoline, [00:08:03] inspect the diesel that is coming, because it's a shame, people's livelihood. [00:08:06] Look, the car is all stalled, you see? By God, yes, by God, this is a shame. May God [00:08:10] help us and may God compensate your loss, God willing. May God bless you. Thank you very much. May God bless you, [00:08:14] master. May God bless you. How are you? I hope you are well. Thank God. It seems you have had many breakdowns [00:08:17] because of the last gasoline. Yes, by God, because of [00:08:20] the gasoline, because you feel there is something watery in the gasoline [00:08:24] or the gasoline is spoiled. So, the car [00:08:28] is running 100% fine. So, when [00:08:31] you, for example, are revving it up to 3 or 4 RPM, the car makes a ticking sound. This ticking sound [00:08:34] بطلع فيها صوت سكسكه السكسكه هيدي [00:08:38] the pistons, which leads to the explosion of the piston, [00:08:41] to the knocking. [00:08:47] Whether it's gasoline or diesel, diesel too. Yes, by God, have you had cases [00:08:52] week, specifically, there was an Audi case, I mean, [00:08:55] I inspected the car just to bring it, but for example, the suspension, [00:08:59] it had a damaged axle. So, we drove it, we traveled from Hama to here, [00:09:02] driving the car at about 100-110, I mean, we weren't pushing [00:09:06] the car or stressing it, for example. So, the car [00:09:09] stopped and broke down. So, we inspected the car for its engine. [00:09:13] The hose broke, we took apart the engine, and an injector exploded because of the bad diesel. [00:09:17] The diesel that came on the top of the piston came down [00:09:21] the piston, the diesel on the top of the piston with force [00:09:24] explodes the piston. Once it explodes, the engine [00:09:28] is gone, I mean. Whether it's gasoline [00:09:31] or diesel, how many cases have there been? I mean, this week, how many cases [00:09:35] approximately have arrived this week and the [00:09:38] week specifically, and the one before, many, I mean, more than seven engines, I mean, for me [00:09:42] as a simple mechanic, I mean, it's not a force, so there must [00:09:45] be supervision on gasoline and diesel. That's what I wanted to ask you, what's the solution? [00:09:48] The solution is to have [00:09:52] gas stations. Diesel, I mean, it had [00:09:56] water in the diesel, or it was mixed with oil, [00:09:59] I mean, there must be supervision over this, I mean, there shouldn't be fraud, I mean, [00:10:02] I mean, not only me, others are suffering, for example, [00:10:06] customers, I mean, it's a shame, every two or three weeks, for example, he has a problem [00:10:09] with an injector or a problem with an engine. I mean, [00:10:13] there must be supervision over this, I mean, God willing, may God bless you. Thank you [00:10:17] very much. Thank you very much. May God bless you. May God [00:10:20] keep you safe. Tell me, have you had breakdowns in engines and cars because of the recent gasoline? [00:10:23] Yes, by God. How many approximately? [00:10:26] By God, [00:10:28] I mean, this week, approximately six or seven [00:10:31] classes of engines, of course, [00:10:34] and motors and spare motors, also [00:10:37] about 20 motors. What, what's the difference? What's [00:10:41] happening with the gasoline? It's coming with a substance like a sticky [00:10:44] substance that is sticking the air [00:10:46] valve. Right, that's what's happening. [00:10:50] The gasoline is not good. So, how are people dealing with this? They are repairing, they are taking it apart [00:10:54] and repairing it. [00:10:57] So, what do you think is the solution? No, replacing [00:11:00] the gasoline. There's no other solution but to replace it. I mean, this existing gasoline, what's the solution so that [00:11:04] this doesn't recur? There is no solution. You have to repair [00:11:08] the damaged engine [00:11:10] and replace the gasoline. The gasoline is coming bad, it's not good. [00:13:01] Hakki Bey Al-Azm. Hakki [00:13:04] Bey Al-Azm, the man of administration [00:13:07] and economy. The first president of the state [00:13:10] of Damascus and the first prime minister of the Syrian Republic. [00:13:13] Born [00:13:16] Hakki Bey Al-Azm in [00:13:18] 1864 in the city [00:13:22] of Damascus. He belonged to the Al-Azm family, [00:13:25] whose history dates back 400 [00:13:29] years, as its members had a prominent role [00:13:32] most of the time in power and administration in Damascus, [00:13:36] Hama, and Maarat al-Numan. [00:13:38] Al-Azm studied at the Lazarist Fathers' School [00:13:41] and mastered Arabic, Turkish, [00:13:44] and French. He was responsible for real estate [00:13:47] interests in Damascus during the Ottoman era, then [00:13:51] he was transferred to Istanbul to head the interests. [00:13:56] Afterwards, Al-Azm moved to Egypt as Minister [00:13:59] of Education. Al-Azm joined the Turkish [00:14:03] Committee of Union and Progress, and in [00:14:05] 1909, the Committee carried out [00:14:09] a coup against Sultan Abd al-Hamid II [00:14:12] and deposed him from power. [00:14:15] coup, Al-Azm returned from Egypt to [00:14:19] Istanbul and took over the position [00:14:21] of Inspector General in the Ministry of Endowments. [00:14:32] Al-Azm stayed for two years in Istanbul, then he broke away from [00:14:35] the Committee of Union and Progress due to [00:14:38] the Turkification policies that led to the marginalization [00:14:41] of the components of the Ottoman Empire, including Arabs [00:14:44] and others. Al-Azm returned to [00:14:47] Egypt again and called from there for the application of the principle of administrative [00:14:51] decentralization, so a death sentence was issued against him. [00:14:56] With the beginning of the French Mandate over Syria, Al-Azm [00:14:59] was appointed president of the state of Damascus in [00:15:02] 1920. [00:15:05] He focused his attention on improving administration, so he introduced [00:15:08] some improvements, such as prisoners working [00:15:12] for [00:15:12] money. [00:15:17] After about a year of taking office in [00:15:21] June 1921. [00:15:26] Al-Azm and French High Commissioner Henri Gouraud [00:15:30] visited the Golan, which was [00:15:32] then part of the state of Damascus. And on the way, [00:15:36] a volley of bullets rained down on the car that [00:15:39] was carrying them, and Al-Azm was hit by three [00:15:43] bullets in his lip, arm, [00:15:46] and thigh. This incident led to strengthening [00:15:49] trust between Al-Azm [00:15:52] and the French. [00:16:00] With the declaration of the Federal Union between the Syrian states in [00:16:04] 1922. [00:16:07] Al-Azm's powers were reduced to being [00:16:11] limited to the Damascus Federation [00:16:14] only. And after the declaration of the union between Aleppo [00:16:17] and Damascus, Al-Azm resigned from his positions in [00:16:21] 1925. [00:16:26] disturbances, after the French-Syrian Treaty of Friendship, [00:16:29] it was agreed that Al-Azm would form [00:16:33] a new government in [00:16:35] 1932. [00:16:37] Equally between moderates [00:16:40] and nationalists. The government failed after [00:16:43] a year, so he formed a second government [00:16:47] that also failed after [00:16:49] a year. [00:16:53] Al-Azm returned to Egypt after the end of his political [00:16:56] role and remained there until his death in [00:17:00] 1955, [00:17:04] where he was buried in his birthplace, Damascus. [00:17:08] Hakki Al-Azm left behind administrative and [00:17:11] scientific efforts that cannot be overlooked, starting [00:17:15] with his book in [00:17:17] 1902 [00:17:19] on the history of the Ottoman Empire's wars with Greece, [00:17:22] and not ending with his [00:17:26] in the ministries he [00:17:28] founded. [00:17:39] The truth is not always in what [00:17:41] we see, [00:17:44] but in what was absent or hidden from [00:17:48] the scene. Between piles of documents and shadows [00:17:52] of maps, we trace the trail, no matter how [00:17:55] small.

[00:25:07] Jamil El-Alshi, France's friend [00:25:10] who said no. [00:25:13] Jamil El-Alshi was born in Damascus in [00:25:16] 1883 [00:25:19] to a family [00:25:23] Andalusia. His father was one of the honorable people [00:25:26] of Damascus, and people used to visit him to enjoy his conversations. [00:25:29] He was also one of the religious scholars, so he took over [00:25:33] the judiciary of Douma in the Ghouta of Damascus [00:25:36] the Beqaa. His son Jamil joined [00:25:39] the Ottoman army and reached the rank [00:25:42] of colonel in it. After the collapse of the Ottoman rule in [00:25:46] the Levant and the declaration of the Syrian Kingdom in [00:25:50] 1919, [00:25:53] Al-Alshi transferred his military work to the newly [00:25:56] formed Kingdom, working as a military commissioner [00:25:59] on its behalf in Beirut. There, [00:26:03] build strong [00:26:05] the French, which played a role in the positions [00:26:09] he later [00:26:10] held. [00:26:18] As soon as General Gouraud's forces entered Damascus, [00:26:22] Jamil Al-Alshi returned to it to assume [00:26:25] the position of Minister of War in the government of Alaa [00:26:28] al-Din al-Durubi, which was formed after King Faisal's [00:26:32] departure from Syria in [00:26:35] 1920. In the same year, [00:26:38] Prime Minister al-Durubi was assassinated in [00:26:41] the village of Khirbet Ghazaleh in Hauran, so it was [00:26:44] agreed to appoint Al-Alshi in his place due to [00:26:48] his strong relations with [00:26:51] the French. Al-Alshi remained in his position [00:26:55] for only two months and 25 days, [00:26:58] as Gouraud ordered him to dissolve the Ministry of [00:27:01] War. However, Al-Alshi strongly [00:27:04] refused to do so, submitting his resignation in the end [00:27:08] and retiring from political work for eight [00:27:11] years. [00:27:16] Jamil Al-Alshi returned to the political arena again [00:27:20] with the arrival of his friend Taj al-Din al-Hasani to the position [00:27:24] of President of the Syrian Republic, where he entrusted him [00:27:27] with the Ministry of Finance in [00:27:29] 1928. [00:27:33] He also returned to serve as Minister of Public Works [00:27:36] when al-Hasani formed his new government in [00:27:40] 1934, [00:27:44] where he continued in his work until al-Hasani's government resigned [00:27:48] after the famous sixty-day strike in 1936. [00:28:01] After a series of disturbances that Syria [00:28:05] generally and Damascus in particular [00:28:07] suffered from, President Taj al-Din al-Hasani [00:28:11] in 1943 [00:28:14] sought to form a consensus government [00:28:18] the great political tension, and he entrusted his old [00:28:22] friend Al-Alshi with forming the government, which became [00:28:25] Al-Alshi's second [00:28:26] government. [00:28:31] A few days later, President [00:28:34] al-Hasani passed away, and Jamil Al-Alshi became, by virtue of the constitution, [00:28:38] the President of the country. In the same year, [00:28:40] and ironically, a major dispute occurred between [00:28:44] Al-Alshi and the French representative, which led him to submit [00:28:48] his resignation, as the French asked him to [00:28:52] pay 15 million Syrian pounds [00:28:55] to finance the French war effort. However, [00:28:59] Al-Alshi categorically refused, [00:29:04] an amount would lead to a budget [00:29:07] deficit. After that, he submitted his second resignation [00:29:10] and did not return to political [00:29:13] work. [00:29:17] Jamil Al-Alshi passed away in Damascus in [00:29:21] 1951, [00:29:23] and he continued to carry a strange paradox, as his [00:29:27] relationship with the French was a reason [00:29:29] for his ascension to power, just as his [00:29:32] sharp disputes with them were the reason for his swift resignations.
