Talk:Politics of Syria

Why the neutrality is disputed ? The article is ok, what is the problem ?

It is a duty and a mattaer of fact to remark that Syria is a dictatorship where people has absolutely no chances to change their government. Any humanitarian organization in the world would confirm it. I don't see anything wrong in the article. Maybe was Assad itself who contested the neutrality of the article.

What we should write instead ? Should we write that Syria is a democracy just like Switzerland or Israel ? That would be extremely false not only not neutral.

Article is ok for me.

Dictatorship is an unfair term, and your reference to the racist Zionist state further illuminates how incorrect you are. The governmental structure of Syria is based on the constitution which declares Syria an Arab Socialist Republic under the leading Baath party in order for the Arabs to have common ownership from foreign monopolists who wish to exploit their people and resources. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.131.41.64 (talk) 01:36, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Well there is no use of the term dictatorship to qualify Syria's government anymore, let the reader decide if more than 20 years of rule with unopposed election is a democracy. As such, if you have nothing constructive to add, I suggest that we remove the tag. Also please refrain from making such aggressive comments on Israel since they bear no reasonable useful purpose to prove your point and mostly ternish the credibility of your statement. This article is about Syria government. If you want to talk about Israel's foreign policies towards their minorities, please go on the appropriate talk page.

Important notice

The government section of the "Outline of Syria" needs to be checked, corrected, and completed -- especially the subsections for the government branches.

When the country outlines were created, temporary data (that matched most of the countries but not all) was used to speed up the process. Those countries for which the temporary data does not match must be replaced with the correct information.

Please check that this country's outline is not in error.

If you have any questions or comments, please contact The Transhumanist .

Thank you.

Human Rights Issues

The section misses a candid and balanced discussion of Human Rights issues in Syria, including the problems facing both religious minorities and the Sunni majority. It is neither "Zionist" or "anti-Syrian" to point to issues like the massacre in Hama and the condition of Syria's Kurds. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.12.203.124 (talk) 16:10, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Destabilized state?

I expected to see more about ISIS considering this BBC map shows they have a lot of land http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-27838034 there. They are a non-state actor if I understand correctly, yet nothing is mentioned in the article. 2601:645:8001:F586:79A5:FD6F:384E:1C90 (talk) 04:03, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
