Statement

Endorsement
and Support for the Decision of the Syrian Negotiations Commission

The
Syrian Women’s Political Movement (SWPM) endorses and supports the decision
made by the SNC refusing to participate in the conference to be held in Sochi,
despite all the pressure practiced upon it, reflecting the pulse of the Syrian
constituencies and the calls of Syrian civil and political groups.

With
this position, the SNC has reflected the demands of Syrian revolutionary and
opposition forces, and expressed the aspirations and hopes of the Syrian people
in realizing the demands of their revolution in freedom, dignity and justice,
especially after everyone had seen the draft final communique of Sochi conference,
which implied legitimizing the continuation of the criminal regime in Syria in
power and its rule of the Syrian people with iron and fire.

With its steadfastness before the international
pressures, the SNC has proved that it represents the concerns of our Syrian
people in all of its spectrum, and it is keen to
achieve a radical political transition from 
a tyrannical regime to a modern democratic and pluralistic state, and
its commitment to Geneva negotiating track and the international resolutions,
first and foremost Geneva 1 Communique and UNSCR 2254, which provide for a
comprehensive political transition and a constitution to be drafted by Syrians,
and elections conducted in a safe and neutral environment that ensures the
participation of all citizens in making a free and safe future and sustainable
peace.

May our people be steadfast and their just causes
emerge victorious
