The year 2007 holds significant benefits in Syria, where he is expected to hold legislative elections, which will elect 250 members of the legislative role IX, which will extend four years. Then will be organizing a referendum on the new mandate of President Bashar al-Assad after the legislative elections, and it is expected that the referendum should be held in May 2007 in addition to this, there are local council elections, which will take place mostly in summer. This is the second in benefits under the rule of Bashar Assad since he took power in July 2000.
With the approach of the date for legislative elections, the interested public affairs of the Syrian province made it probable spectrum of political opposition, given the absence of indications that the separation of these elections its predecessors, and the absence of law allowing the establishment of political parties, non-party parties and groups allied to him, where a new law of associations and political parties demand of the opposition, Ksoaha to enjoy in other countries of the world legal status, as well as questioning the fairness in the light of the continuation of the state of emergency, and the prosecution of political activists and intellectuals, and to insist that the Baath party leader of the state and society, and the failure to approve a new election law.
As Syrian Kurdish opposition Jzahama of Syrian opposition parties and the majority Maussatha has called for a boycott of the elections and believes in holding any elections free and fair legislative one of these means to find practical solutions and sound of the issues in the country, including finding a democratic solution to the just Kurdish cause in Syria.
The policy of segregation and discrimination in the Kurdish areas in various stages of the electoral process clear and evident as follows :
The continuing tragedy of hundreds of thousands of our Kurdish people who are the victims of racial statistics were stripped of their Syrian and deprived of all their rights, including their right to contest the vote, although they are Syrian citizens from their fathers and grandfathers.
The Kurdish voter in Syria, rather than to allocate a number of seats in Parliament to represent the equivalent of the population, the share of parliamentary seats in the Kurdish areas is lower than that of other, less populous provinces of their region.
The procedures interference in the voting and counting process and the will of the voter fraud across the different pressures more severe and the intensity in the Kurdish areas.
Not to mention the most important issues to deal with the issue of national unity and civil peace in the country lightly, despite the passage of three years since the bloody events of March which claimed the lives / 27 / martyrs and hundreds wounded and thousands of prisoners, the authorities continue to deal with the Kurdish people the same mental chauvinism still file away in March the treatment trial where the victim rather than the prosecution of offenders.
The Syrians have the right to live in dignity and confidence in themselves and the state to which they belong, and to enjoy freedom, social justice and political participation, but the question of how that might be achieved through the wishes of the next important benefits, and could revive hope with the return of politics to society not to a lack of confidence in benefits, even on a theoretical level at least. Some think the loss of confidence in the political system, despite the fact that the Syrians have a latent patriotism and belonging to the homeland, to defend him, and Mskonon always hope a better future.
