“The Kurdish political and cultural movement in Syria has lacked prominent historical reference points. Compared to Kurds in Turkey, Iraq and Iran, those in Syria have a shorter ‘national story’ “Mr. Robert Lowe
“more than 150,000 and now increased to more than half a million, Kurds, who had been living in their own homeland, being stripped of their Syrian nationality certificate, thereby depriving them of the basic human right of surviving and prospering in their own country”. Mr. Amed Semo
