بَيَان بِمُن��اسَبَة عيد رَأس السَنَة السُريَانيَّة الآشُوريَّة البَابِليَة ( آكيتو )

[SyriacPress @SyriacPress]

Bassam Said Ishak, representative of the Syrian Democratic Council in Washington and head of the Syriac National Council in Syria, on the violence against Christians in Suqaylabiyah:
“For the first time in modern Syrian history, Palm Sunday passed without celebration. This year, the holiday, which symbolizes joy and hope, was shrouded in sorrow in the hearts of many Syrian Christians. More importantly, the decision to cancel celebrations did not come from the clergy, but from the Christian community itself—from people who felt that what happened in Suqaylabiyah was not an isolated incident, but a wound that struck at their sense of security and dignity.
What happened can therefore not be viewed solely as a religious issue. It also carries a national, moral, and political message, because Syria today is now under the world’s scrutiny. Every incident there is now being followed with great interest and concern, especially during this transition phase.
What happened in Suqaylabiyah is, in fact, a loss for all of us as Syrians. Because it raises the bigger question: Where is the country headed? Will Syria be a homeland that safeguards the security and dignity of all its people, or are the fears of many still justified?
When joy is absent from Palm Sunday in Syria, this is no small matter. It is a painful indication that many still do not feel safe enough in their country and are still waiting for concrete actions that will restore their confidence that they are equal in dignity and rights.”

My colleagues ⁦@bsishak⁩ ⁦@BassamSaker1⁩ and I had a series of fruitful meetings on the Hill today, working for a successful Syrian integration.

Lasting stability means including all Syrian components and women at the table.

Kurdish forces on Wednesday identified the female fighter who was killed and thrown off a building by the Syrian Arab Army in Aleppo during the recent violence as Deniz Ciya.

Ishak @bsishak underlined that Daramsuq has yet to meet any of the initial 7 obligations: halting hostilities across Syrian territory, with particular reference to the coastal region and Suwayda, ending hate speech campaigns, and granting constitutional recognition to Syria’s diverse communities, including Syriacs, Kurds, Armenians, and Turkmen.

Conference for the Unity of the Peoples of North and East Syria.

This important conference today in Hasakah, Syria, demonstrated that northeast Syria is not only Kurds, but a unified body of Arabs, Kurds, Syriacs, Yezidis, Orthodox Christians, Turkmen, Armenians, and even Druze.

All are united to put an end to the cycles of oppression.

I was able to attend as an observer. Here are some of my takeaways.

[Sinam Mohamad @sinam56]

It was an honor to meet with Senator ⁦@ChrisVanHollen⁩ on Capitol Hill. I deeply appreciate his continued support for the Syrian people as we work toward building lasting peace for all our communities.

@Yacou670147 @Shishakly الفرق أنني أتكلم باسمي الحقيقي دفاعًا عن دولة المواطنة، بينما من يشتمني يختبئ خلف اسم مستعار ويحرّض بلغة طائفية.
من يتكلم بهذه اللغة هو من ينحدر بنفسه إلى مزبلة التاريخ… لا من يدعو لشراكة بين كل السوريين، مسلمين ومسيحيين، على قدم المساواة.

[Bassam Ishak @bsishak]

@Yacou670147 @Shishakly يعنى تتفق معي أنه في أمريكا أكثر من علم

[Bassam Ishak @bsishak]

@Shishakly في الشمال الشرقي و بعد سقوط النظام البائد، تم رفع علم الثورة و تعميمه لكن العلم ليس المشكلة بل كيف سنعيش معاً في شراكة و ما شكل النظام السياسي. هذا السؤال المهم و العلم تحصيل حاصل عندما يتفق السوريون على عقد اجتماعي جامع.
