The Assyrian-Syriac people in Syria and the world celebrate the Assyrian-Syriac New Year (Al-Akito Eid), which is on April 1st each year.
On this occasion, the Syrian Democratic Council congratulates Assyrian-Syriac people in Syria and the world.This day, which is considered one of the most prominent features of expressing historical, civilizational and ethnic identity of Assyrian- Syriac peole and symbolizes fertility, renewal and resurgence.
This Year Al-Akito Eid coincides with the entering of the Syrian crisis into its tenth year after nine bloody years that cost the Syrians a lot of blood and tears; and after the political tracks failed to chart any political horizon for the desired peace. In addition, the feast coincides this year with the spread of Corona virus, which turned into a pandemic that swept the world.
We in the Syrian Democratic Council hope that the coming Eids will return in an atmosphere of calm, safety, peace and stability. We also wish that terrorism, occupation and tyranny will end and disappear, and the Syrian people of all nationalities, religions, and sects will achieve their goals in freedom, democracy and equality in a state of law and justice.
Happy new year to Assyrian- Syriac people
