The Syrian Opposition Coalition (SOC) extends its congratulations and blessings to the Syrian people in general, and to our Kurdish people in particular, on the occasion of Nowruz, a holiday symbolizing freedom and liberation from injustice and tyranny. Its symbolism aligns with the demands of the Syrian revolution for justice, freedom, democracy, and equal citizenship.
On this occasion, the SOC emphasizes the necessity of cooperation among all components of the Syrian people to preserve societal fabric and national unity. It stresses the importance of preventing the Assad regime, the PYD terrorist militia, cross-border terrorist organizations, or any other party from implementing plans to create rifts among Syrians. The SOC firmly believes that building a future Syria depends on partnership among all components of the Syrian people, fostering a comprehensive Syrian national identity proud of its national, cultural, and religious diversity.
Furthermore, the SOC underscores the collective responsibility of Syrians in building a state founded on the principles of justice, equality, and respect for human rights. It emphasizes the importance of ensuring Syria’s security and stability through peaceful coexistence, national unity, tolerance, and dialogue. Additionally, the SOC affirms that celebrating this holiday is an inherent right of our Kurdish people, as it is a national holiday celebrated by all Syrians across the country.
Happy Nowruz!
