🇸🇾🌱Syria Expands Rights for Kurds, Declares Nowruz a National Holiday Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa issued a decree guaranteeing rights and protections for Kurdish citizens. The decree aims to ensure their rights and identity under the law, inviting safe return and participation in national development. Al-Sharaa emphasized unity and reform, urging displaced Kurds to return without conditions, except for laying down arms. This move signals a potential shift in Syrian policy towards Kurdish populations. The decree recognizes Kurdish cultural and linguistic rights, allowing Kurdish language instruction in schools. It also repeals consequences of the 1962 Al-Hasakah census, granting citizenship with equal rights. The decree declares Syrian Kurds an integral part of Syria’s people and national identity. It also designates Nowruz (March 21) as a paid national holiday nationwide and bans discrimination based on ethnicity or language. Minas Tirith | 24/7 News channel | Updated
