• Many military and strategic analysts from Riyadh, Ankara, and Istanbul  emerge on the  TV channels of Al Arabiya and Al Jazeera to suggest that the battle of Al Ghouta has already started, their argument is what was controlled by the Syrian army was only open areas and farms, this is normal in a war between a regular army and military irregular groups that do not have air force and armored capacities as armies, they consider that the battles which are at the gates of the cities are the ones which are considered and they will be in favor of the armed groups.
• Those are lying in showing that the areas liberated by the army as mere open areas and farms, although there are major towns and residential blocks as Mesraba, Al Mohammadiyah, and Shifoniyah, and there are strategic areas, that it is difficult to defend the major towns without them as Al Rihan, and Al Midyara. They are lying when they ignore the difficult progress achieved by the Syrian army in three parts which are complex urban areas and through which it reached to Al Idaret Al Markabat. They are lying too when the progress in Harasta axes is achieved in one of the biggest urban blocks.
• The field says that the collapse of the advanced defense lines of every military force weakens the military, immunized, tactical, forming and moral ability of the active reorganization of the back lines without truce of one month at least, so unless this truce occurs, Douma and Harasta will be liberated faster than the farms.
• This is the secret of the truce which the protecting and the operating countries of the armed groups have fought to get it and to impose it through the Security Council.
• Through the Syrian and the Russian understanding of the truce and its conditions the one month of liberating Al Ghouta will be achieved.
