[edit] Biased

Article is one sided and should undergo major improvement. --Cool CatTalk|@ 17:51, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

No evidence is provided for the one-sidedness claim.Heja Helweda 01:06, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
Hmm? The people who have been arbitrarily denied the right to Syrian nationality in violation of international law. part is one. Who says this violates international law? Its strtictly a domestic issue. Factual acuracy can be disputed too, actulay.
A neutral tone would not be "Kurdish human rights activists are mistreated and persecuted" but would be "AmnestyUSA claims Kurdish human rights activists are mistreated and persecuted."

I can list examples line by line: Suppression of ethnic identity of Kurds in Syria include.... Who says this is suppresion? --Cool CatTalk|@ 23:10, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
It seems that your concern is on wording of the article not the content because there are already many neutral and relaible references in the article. I'm not sure but just suggesting: Is not this tag better? {{POV-check}}. Diyako Talk + 00:08, 25 March 2006 (UTC)


What? I did not pay attention that time. Human Rights watch says it is Suppression! Sorry. Xebat Talk + 20:44, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Category: Kurdish Inhabited Region

The catgeory does not apply to this article as Kurds in Syria is about a group of people not a region.Heja Helweda 03:30, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Neutralized article

I just finished removing bias from this article. It is notable that almost all of the article was violating copyrights. I rewrote the article and neutralized it. The claims of suppression are not facts, they are claims fro certain organizations and that should be always noted. The background of the citizenship controversy was included; it is clear that the creator of the article, or the section, presented the issue in an anti-Syrian, one-sided way. Please discuss any changes here before making them. Regards, Anas talk? 15:15, 8 April 2007 (UTC)


[edit] There is no "Syrian Kurdistan", you are inventing it!!!

Who said that northeastern Syria is called Syrian Kurdistan?!! When you say so, you give the impression that Kurds are the only inhabitants of that region, which is completely untrue. I live in northeastern Syria and particularly in Hassakeh and Kurds are not the only inhabitants of this region nor they form the majority there. There are other ethnicities like Armenians, Chaldeans, Syriacs, Assyrians and Arabs or Shawaya as we call them here. Unfortunately I don’t have a reliable reference to include but I LIVE THERE and this is a live testimony. You are an encyclopedia, that means that you have to be neutral and away from any political agenda. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.178.224.165 (talk) 11:47, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
