Syria is moving in the right direction.
After New Syria integrates most of the former regime forces, there will be no worthy political faction left.

Kurds are a non Arab minority originating from Iran who should not seek sovereignty in Syria, Iraq, or Turkey. Can't go around claiming parts of other countries and civilizations in their name. I am against even their autonomy in Iraq because it seems more than autonomy, seems almost independent. Compare it to Kurdistan province in Iran where they are not that independent.

On December 20, 2024, thousands of Syrians gathered in Damascus's Umayyad Square to celebrate the establishment of their new government following the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime. The celebration was marked by:

Key Highlights​

• Large crowds filled the square
• Fireworks illuminated the night sky
• The new Syrian opposition flag was prominently displayed
• Many participants were Syrians who had recently returned to the country

Celebration Context​

The event followed the dramatic collapse of Assad's 50-year regime, which occurred after a swift rebel offensive led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), now led by Ahmed al-Sharaa (formerly known as Abu Mohammed al-Jolani). The rebels swept into Damascus on Sunday, causing Assad to flee to Russia.

Symbolic Significance​

The celebration in Umayyad Square represented more than just a political transition. It symbolized hope for many Syrians who had endured years of conflict, displacement, and oppression under the Assad regime. The festive atmosphere and the display of the new flag signaled a potential new chapter in Syria's tumultuous history.

Turkiye will do ‘whatever it takes’ if Syria government cannot address Kurd militia issue, minister says​

ANKARA: Turkiye will do “whatever it takes” to ensure its security if the new Syrian administration cannot address Ankara’s concerns about US-allied Kurdish groups it views as terrorist groups, Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said on Saturday.

Turkiye regards the YPG, the militant group spearheading the US-allied Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), as an extension of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) militants who have fought an insurgency against the Turkish state for 40 years and are deemed terrorists by Ankara, Washington, and the European Union.

Hostilities have escalated since the toppling of Bashar al-Assad less than two weeks ago, with Turkiye and Syrian groups seizing the city of Manbij from the SDF on Dec. 9. Assad’s fall has left the Kurdish factions on the back foot as they seek to retain political gains made in the last 13 years.

In an interview with France 24, Fidan said Ankara’s preferred option was for the new administration in Damascus to address the problem in line with Syria’s territorial unity, sovereignty, and integrity, adding that the YPG should be disbanded immediately.

“If it doesn’t happen, we have to protect our own national security,” he said. When asked if that included military action, Fidan said: “whatever it takes.”

Asked about SDF commander Mazloum Abdi’s comments about the possibility of a negotiated solution with Ankara, Fidan said the group should seek such a settlement with Damascus, as there was “a new reality” there now.
