Preferred term

Hafiz Al-Asad  

Definition

  • Hafiz Al-Asad rose to power in Syria in February 1971 in a bloodless coup known in contemporary Syrian political jargon as The Corrective Movement (Al Haraka Al Tashiheyya) in which the ruling Baath Party consolidated its grip on public life in Syria. At that time, Syria already had a media system comprised of two television channels, two state-owned newspapers, two radio services, and a government-operated news agency (SANA).
