WASHINGTON, DC — C4SSA welcomes and fully supports the presidential decree recognizing Syrian Kurds as an integral part of the Syrian people and affirming their cultural, linguistic, and citizenship rights. This landmark decision reflects a clear national commitment to equal citizenship, dignity, and unity, and represents a major step toward strengthening social cohesion and reconciliation across Syria.
The decree, signed today by Syrian President Ahmad Al Sharaa, marks a historic turning point and a decisive break from decades of marginalization and injustice imposed by the Assad regime against Kurds and other Syrian communities. It opens a new chapter based on recognition, fairness, and the full inclusion of all Syrians within a single, united state.
C4SSA commends this courageous action and emphasizes the importance of its effective and transparent implementation, ensuring equal protection under the law and the consistent application of rights and responsibilities for all citizens without discrimination. We view this decree as a foundational step toward building accountable institutions, inclusive governance, and a stable national future.
We encourage continued progress along this path and reaffirm our belief that Syria’s strength lies in the diversity of its people within one homeland. Full integration of all Syrians into political, civic, and institutional life is essential to achieving lasting peace, restoring trust, and building a prosperous future for Syria.
