A Call for Peace in Syria
The Syrian writer association has made a statement in response to the recent bloody events in AS-Suwayda, urging people not to use weapons against each other. They are calling for a "serious and responsible national dialogue" that is based on mutual recognition of the law and respect for political life, rather than being driven by dictations and revenge.
Condemning Civil War
The statement emphasizes the association’s clear position against civil war, stating "no to more blood, no to more hatred, no to tearing down the Syrian social fabric." They believe that civil war is not just a tragic event, but a deliberate political decision that can lead to armed chaos and destruction of the remaining society, mind, and memory.
Rejecting Divisive Discourse
The association rejects the use of tactical discourse, pricing for dispute, and marketing of the "we" and "you" mentality, as it only leads to an abyss with no return. They emphasize that the civil war is not just a conflict, but a provider of armed chaos that prepares the ground for the destruction of the remaining society.
Condemning Israeli Bombings
The statement also condemns the repeated Israeli bombings of Damascus and other Syrian cities, considering them unjustified aggressions that should not be tolerated. The association views these bombings as part of a series of violations that the Syrian people have been suffering from for decades.
A Path to Peace
To exit the current situation, the association believes that a serious and responsible national dialogue is necessary. This dialogue should be based on mutual recognition of the law, dignity, and free political life, rather than being driven by dictations and revenge. They also emphasize the importance of a fair and just transition, where the truth is revealed and justice is served.
A Message to Syrian Intellectuals
The association’s statement is also a message to Syrian intellectuals, emphasizing that their battle is not with a particular sect or group, but with injustice, regardless of who is responsible. They believe that those who ignite the fire of civil war under any slogan are not part of the future, but rather part of the caves of hate and self-destruction.
