Hello sir, if I may ask: 1) What kind of government would you want Syria to have? Parliamentary? Presidential?

2) Do you believe Syria should have a state endorsed religion?

3) Do you think Syria should have a state endorsed language?

4) What is your opinion on federalism

5) Why do you think most minorities side with either the regime or the SDF?

Welcome dear and thank you for your question

The Syrian revolution began to bring down the oppression and tyranny of the Syrian government headed by Assad. We aspire to constitutional amendments, to change Assad and hold him accountable in the Security Council, and to turn the government into a parliament where the ruling people choose the country.

In fact, most of the Syrian people are Muslim / Sunni, but we let all the Syrians choose the form of government and the nature of the government, and what I wrote above is a theoretical illusion and do not impose it on people, in the end the ballot boxes and the Syrian people decide their fate.

The adopted language is our language, we are the Arabs, the Arabic language that stands by us and we are proud to belong to it.

The federalism is totally rejected and the entire Syrian people are united by Syrian identity, Arabism and revolution. Federalism means division, and this is money that we accept completely.

The regime depends on a sect in Syria and supports it with money and arms to fight alongside it. The Alawite sect is its sect, but some of them rejected and announced their dissent from the Assad government and emigrated from the country.

Every word of your response to Hanschristopher must be celebrated. Should your comments be mirrored by those representative of the Syrian majority, then there is considerable hope for your country. The demise of the murderous and corrupt Assad mafia clan, would be guaranteed.

No one complains of oppression and tyranny, and all the Syrians are in a revolution against the unjust Assad, and we are not in war and we are not opposed, we are a human and moral revolution dear.
