The recent \u201cUnity of Position for the Components of North and East Syria\u201d conference in Hasakah has revived long-standing questions about the strained relationship between Syria\u2019s local communities and the central government. At the heart of the debate lies a fundamental question: can Syrians find common ground on the shape of their state and the path of the political process?<\/span><\/p>\n

While the gathering called for a democratic constitution that ensures pluralism and broad participation, Damascus insisted that such issues cannot be settled through piecemeal understandings but only within the framework of a national project that preserves the unity of the state. The contrast in tone raises the question: did the Hasakah conference open a door to wider dialogue, or did it simply underscore the growing gulf between the two sides?<\/span><\/p>\n

A Call for a Democratic Constitution<\/b><\/h2>\n

The one-day conference, held at Hasakah\u2019s Cultural Centre, brought together more than 400 participants including political figures, representatives of the Autonomous Administration, local community leaders, and religious clerics. It carried the slogan: \u201cTogether for diversity that strengthens our unity, and partnership that builds our future.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In its final declaration, the conference called for drafting a new democratic constitution and launching a transitional justice process. Organizers argued that the current constitutional framework does not reflect the aspirations of Syrians, and that any transition requires fair representation of all communities.<\/span><\/p>\n

The statement stressed the need to entrench ethnic, cultural, and religious diversity within Syria\u2019s political and administrative structures, while revisiting administrative divisions to reflect demographic realities and local identities. Participants also called for a comprehensive Syrian national conference that would bring together all political and democratic forces to forge a shared national identity.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speakers emphasized the importance of unity. Hussein Othman, co-chair of the Executive Council of the Autonomous Administration, urged Syrians to confront sectarianism and division, hailing the cooperation among Kurds, Arabs, Assyrians, Turkmen, and Circassians as the \u201ctrue guarantee of national achievements.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Ilham Ahmed, co-chair of the Foreign Relations Department of the Autonomous Administration, warned against the dangers of \u201cmonolithic thinking,\u201d insisting that political pluralism must underpin a modern, inclusive Syria. She also called for constitutional safeguards for women\u2019s rights and active participation in governance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prominent religious figures also voiced support. Alawite cleric Ghazal Ghazal urged the creation of a secular, decentralized (or even federal) state that protects the rights of all components. Druze spiritual leader Hikmat al-Hijri described the conference as \u201cnot a new path but a reaffirmation of the unity of Syria\u2019s communities.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The next day, the Syrian government sharply rejected the initiative and suspended its participation in planned meetings with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in Paris. Damascus accused the Hasakah gathering of violating the March 10 agreement between President Ahmad Al-Sharaa and SDF commander Mazloum Abdi, and of attempting to \u201cinternationalize\u201d the Syrian file.<\/span><\/p>\n

A government source told <\/span>+963<\/b> that while citizens have the right to meet peacefully and discuss politics, \u201cthis must happen within the framework of a unifying national project that preserves Syria\u2019s unity, sovereignty, and identity.\u201d He insisted that the form of the Syrian state \u201ccannot be determined by factional understandings but only through a permanent constitution approved by popular referendum.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Damascus further warned that the Hasakah conference undermined ongoing negotiations, declaring that \u201cthe Syrian people will reject any partition projects.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Analysts: Fear, Distrust, and Missed Opportunities<\/b><\/h2>\n

Political analyst Hazem Dakel argues that the conference reflected a climate of fear and mistrust, especially after recent violence in Suwayda in the south. He described the gathering as part of a trend toward an \u201calliance of minorities\u201d amid the failure of a truly national project.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Dakel, Damascus\u2019s response carried three messages: dismissing the conference\u2019s legitimacy, framing it as unlawful and externally driven, and drawing parallels with past partition attempts, while still leaving the door to dialogue open, but only on government terms. He warned that demonizing the event could backfire, pushing groups toward isolation or outside support, and urged Damascus to seize the opportunity for a genuine reconciliation process.<\/span><\/p>\n

Writer and political commentator Jiwan Youssef, meanwhile, said the conference delivered a clear message: \u201can authoritarian, one-color system will not be accepted.\u201d He credited the SDF with rallying diverse communities around opposition to Damascus\u2019s unilateral approach, despite internal divisions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Youssef criticized the government\u2019s reaction as \u201creckless and juvenile,\u201d arguing that it exposed the state\u2019s inability to engage in dialogue with dissenting actors.<\/span><\/p>\n

For political analyst Alaa al-Asfari, however, the solution still lies in a \u201ctrue national partnership among Syrians\u201d, but not through separation, federalism, or autonomy. He warned that persistent divisions could push Syria toward \u201cbloody borders\u201d and fragmented cantons, inviting regional meddling. The alternative, he said, is a modern civil state that respects diversity and averts national disintegration.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether the Hasakah conference proves to be a step toward broader dialogue or another episode in Syria\u2019s fractured political saga remains uncertain. What is clear, however, is that it has once again laid bare the profound disagreements over the country\u2019s future; disagreements that will shape not only the political process but also the very meaning of Syrian unity in the years to come.<\/span><\/p>\n
