Shafaq News/ OnFriday, the Kurdish National Council (KNC) rejected Syria’s transitionalconstitution, warning it could destabilize the country and describing it as a“dangerous step” in a multi-ethnic society.
Shellal Geddo, headof the Syrian Kurdish Centrist Party (Partiya Naverast A kurd li Sûriyê) and amember of the KNC’s General Secretariat, said the transitional constitutiondisregards Syria’s ethnic and religious diversity. “It was not surprising, butSyrians had hoped for a fairer document,” he stated.
“Today, Syria’scomponents are dissatisfied with it.”
Geddo criticized thedocument for reflecting a “one-nation, one-religion” framework, warning itwould fail to gain public support if put to a referendum. The transitionalconstitution is set to remain in effect for five years, which he called “asignificant period requiring amendments to guarantee the rights of all ethnicand religious groups.”
Comparing it toSyria’s 1920 constitution, the official described the earlier document as “moreprogressive in recognizing the country’s diversity,” condemning theconstitution’s imposition of Arabic as the sole language and the dominance ofIslam in a country with multiple faiths.
Such provisions, heconfirmed, marginalize non-Arab and non-Muslim communities, particularly theKurds and Christians.
On Thursday, theSyrian experts committee unveiled the contents of a draft constitutionaldeclaration, which relies on Islamic jurisprudence as a primary source oflegislation.
The draft has sparkeda range of reactions, with various groups expressing their opposition. Amongthe most prominent voices of dissent are the Syrian Democratic Council (SDC)and Bahaa Al-Jammal, the leader of Druze operations in Sweida.
