	Syria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Syrian Arab Republic or Syria is a country in the Levant region of the Middle East.
		The defeat of the Syrians and Egyptians in the June 1967 war with Israel weakened the radical socialist regime established by the 1966 coup.
		Syrian writers, many of whom emigrated to Egypt, played a crucial role ion the nahda or Arab literary and cultural revival of the nineteenth century.

		The area that is now the Syrian Arab Republic was part of the Empire of Mesopotamia around 2300 BC, during which time the cities of Ugarit (where the oldest written alphabet in the world is believed to have been developed) and Byblos grew to become powerful commercial centres.
		The Syrian Arab Republic has yet to secure its main objective — the return of the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights — and has made clear that unless the issue is settled, the Syrian Arab Republic will not follow Egypt and Jordan in reaching a formal peace with the Jewish state.
		The Syrian Arab Republic’s relations with the West reached a nadir during the late-1980s, but the 1991 Gulf War came as an unexpected blessing, with the USA eager to attract Arab states into the anti-Iraqi coalition.

		The Committee is concerned at the fact that Legislative Decree No. 51 of 9 March 1963 declaring a state of emergency has remained in force ever since that date, placing the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic under a quasi-permanent state of emergency, thereby jeopardizing the guarantees of article 4 of the Covenant.
		The State party should facilitate the return to the country of Syrian citizens wishing to do so and should eliminate the exit visa requirement as a general rule and require it only in individual cases that can be justified in relation to the Covenant.
		Protests lodged by the expelled alien with Syrian diplomatic and consular missions abroad are not a satisfactory solution in terms of the Covenant.

		Syrians on the Golan attempted to divert the headwaters of the Jordan River, which would have severely curtailed Israel's water supply.
		Some analysts expect Israel also to insist that additional Syrian land beyond that territory be demilitarized or made subject to force limitations, perhaps in return for Israel's agreement to limit its own forces on the Israeli side of the border.
		The real political deterrent to Syrian aggression is not U.S. troops on the Golan, but the strength of U.S. ties to Israel and the certainty of U.S. support for a swift and effective Israeli response to such aggression.

		The Syrian army began as the "Syrian Legion," established by the French in the course of World War I. In 1923, the French established the "Special Forces (Troupes Specials) of the Levant" to help maintain law and order in the territories of the Levant under their control.
