On the occasion of the first of April, the Syriac-Assyrian New Year “Akito”, the Syrian Democratic Council extends sincere congratulations for the Syriac-Assyrian people in the regions of northern and eastern Syria and the whole country and the world, hoping that the beginning of the Babylonian year will be a new start for the end of tragedies and pains and a source of good and happiness.
This holiday clearly reflects the state of diversity and pluralism in the Syrian unity, enriching the national identity of the country, which is an ideal of pride and honor, away from exclusion and marginalization.
On this ancient occasion, we congratulate all Syrians and stress the formulation of an inclusive national identity that redefines belonging to the homeland, realizes the richness of the Syrian unity, and we reaffirm that we are all stand together against a triad; terrorism, occupation and tyranny.
Happy New Akito
