Syrian government sticks to “exclusion” despite catastrophe: Future Syria Party
RAQQA, Syria (North Press) – The Syrian government clings on its old stance of “exclusion” although the country has suffered greatly, an official in the Future Syria Party in the northern city of Raqqa said in a statement on Saturday.
The statement commemorated victims of the 2004 uprising that took place on March 12th in Qamishli city, northeast Syria.
The calamity affected Syria over the past years is because of the obstinacy of the Syrian government and its refusal of the political solutions, Hamidi Rodayni, chairman of the Future Syrian Party said.
“The Syrian government does not wish a real participation of all the Syrian communities in ruling the country,” Rodayni added.
The government sticks to the stance of “one unified party that excludes any civil or political activities and considers them threats to the presence of the government,” he noted.
He believes the government and its arbitrary practices against the Syrian people is the party to blame for the destruction of Syria, the collapse of its economic and political infrastructure as well as the immigration of the Syrians.
The uprising of Qamishli in 2004 has been a spark for the public protests staged in 2011, according to him.
The Syrian government has always followed the “divide and rule” policy by sowing sedition among the various Syrian communities and creating discord.
Kurdish political and social parties in Syria firmly believes the events in Qamishli in 2004 was intentionally created by the Syrian government to sow sedition amongst the residents of the region.
The Kurdish parties call the events in Qamishli in 2004 to be a Kurdish uprising on the wake of killings and arrests carried out by the government security branches against the protesters.
March 12 marks the 18th anniversary of the Qamishli uprising, which broke out in 2004, where the Syrian intelligence killed more than thirty people in several cities in north and northeastern the country.
