In view of the rapidly unfolding events in Syria;

discrimination against and refusal to acknowledge
the existence of the Kurdish people in particular,
who have been deprived of the most basic human and
national rights and against whom acts of repression
and arrests are carried out, particularly since the
popular uprising in Kurdistan of Syria; and the
complete absence of democracy in the Syrian
political system and failure to mention the rights
of Kurds in the Syrian constitution;
In view of the current circumstances, the pressing
need to unify the ranks of Kurds in Syria, and the

support the Kurdish people and their political
movement in Syria and firmly secure their rights;

society in promoting the democratic process in the
region and the overriding need to prepare for future
