1961 CE

There is also resentment in the Syrian army that parallels the resentment in civilian circles.

On September 28, a group of army officers called the High Arab Revolutionary Command stages a successful coup and proclaims the separation of Syria from Egypt.

Nasser decides not to resist and orders his troops to surrender.

He blames Syria's defection on "reactionaries" and "agents of imperialism."
