Kurdish rights officially recognized in Syria
Historical changes are taking place in Syria. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
Long-standing disagreements between the country's government and Kurdish forces have been replaced by important political decisions. A decree signed by Syrian President Ahmad ash-Shar’a is aimed at officially recognizing the rights of the Kurdish people.
This decision has marked the beginning of a new era in the country. According to recent events, the Syrian army has taken control of strategic areas near the city of Aleppo, while Kurdish military formations have announced their withdrawal to the eastern bank of the Euphrates River.
This process was the result of negotiations mediated by the United States. Demining operations are being carried out in the region to ensure security, and nearly 4,000 residents have been temporarily evacuated to other areas.
Within the framework of the historic decree adopted by President ash-Shar’a, the Kurdish language was granted the status of a state language, and the Nowruz holiday was declared a national holiday. The decree emphasized that the Kurdish people are an integral part of Syria and that injustices against them over previous years will be ended.
This decision is regarded as an important step that has opened a new chapter in the country's history. However, the Kurdish leadership views these decisions only as a first step.
They demand that the status of the Kurdish language as a state language and other privileges be solidified not by a temporary decree but through a new constitution. At the same time, the issue of Syria's northeastern oil reserves and the integration of Kurdish military formations into the national army remains unresolved.
Because this process is progressing slowly, the parties are exchanging accusations. According to experts, Ahmad ash-Shar’a’s political decision is a significant strategic step toward ending long-standing conflicts in the country and preserving national unity.
However, whether these decisions will fully restore internal peace in Syria remains to be seen.
