Dr Karena Avedissian recently returned from a trip to conduct research and build ties with the #Armenian community in Northeast #Syria. We spoke about an article she wrote – Armenians in #Rojava: A quiet revolution – looking at the experiences of Islamized Armenians, descendants of survivors of the #ArmenianGenocide who were forcibly ‘assimilated’ during and after 1915.

Do not forget, ISIS in Syria was created by the USA ⬇️

The Syrian Regime Seeks Normalisation with Israel in exchange for “non-interference”

Syria’s Foreign Minister, Asaad Al-Shaibani, comes under fire again for his normalisation comments.

Most Syrians oppose Israel, yet the regime continues to listen only to US demands.

Videos posted to social media provide some of the most detailed depictions yet of bloodshed that erupted Syria this month, initially between local Druze militia and Bedouin tribal fighters and later government forces. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/07/30/world/syrian-attackers-gun-camera/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #middleeast #syria #druze

"For me, Gaza is the paramount example of torturous war, an aggression that has been torturing 2.3 million people for nearly twenty months as of this writing, and with many similarities with Syria. A power monopolizes destructive weapons, has unlimited resources from Western powers, has been destroying Palestinian lives in Gaza (and the West Bank) for more than five hundred days. In Syria, it went on for five thousand days and with more than half a million victims. Israel is as productive of death as was Assad’s Syria."

Residents reported calm in Syria's Sweida on Sunday after the Islamist-led government announced that Bedouin fighters had withdrawn from the predominantly Druze city after days of fighting. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/07/21/world/syria-sweida-truce-holding/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #syria #religion #israel #us #ahmadalsharaa #middleeast

🔹 In a statement issued Sunday, the Observatory called for the formation of an independent UN investigation committee to probe what it described as a "catastrophic toll" and to hold those responsible for the bloodshed accountable under #internationalLaw
