About Syrian Platform for Peace
The vision of the Platform is:
A peaceful Syria, where people manage their conflicts without recourse to any form of violence.
The Platform’s mission is:
To provide an open platform through which a diversity of Syrian organisations and individuals can work together to promote and build peace among Syrians, inside and outside of Syria.
The objectives of the Platform are:
To build and strengthen relationships between Syrians and Syrian organisations in the UK, between these organisations and policy-makers, and between Syrian networks of self-reliance and other international relief and development agencies.
To strengthen understanding of the complexity of the Syrian context and ways in which peacebuilding can address it.
To support, build capacity of and add value to its members (sharing innovation, good practice, and recognition for members).

It was the crisis in Syria that prompted members of the Syrian diaspora across the UK to begin their journey as Human Care Syria. The plight of conflict torn Syria moved us to work untiringly to send convoys packed with medical aid and non-food items including winter hats, gloves and socks, which were driven by a dedicated team of volunteers to Syria.
Since our inception in 2011, we have raised and spent well over £1 million pounds in aid, in and around Syria. Our staff, trustees and field workers are all Syrian, allowing us to travel in to besieged towns and cities which are considered too dangerous by other aid organisations.

Syrian diaspora
Syrian diaspora refers to Syrian migrants and their descendants who, whether by choice or coercion, emigrated from Syria and now reside in other countries as either immigrants or refugees of the Syrian Civil War.
The Syrians living outside of Syria are estimated to be from 8 to possibly around 15 million. Under the current nationality law, diaspora Syrians do not have an automatic right of return to Syria. Due to varying degrees of assimilation, most diaspora Syrians have not passed on the language to their children (either Arabic, Kurdish, Armenian or Adyghe), while some still maintaining a Syrian ethnic identity.

Circassian diaspora
The Circassian diaspora refers to the resettlement of the Circassian population, especially during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. From 1763 to 1864, the Circassians fought against the Russian Empire in the Russian-Circassian War, finally succumbing to a scorched-earth campaign initiated in 1862 under General Nicholai Yevdokimov. Afterwards, large numbers of Circassians were exiled and deported to the Ottoman Empire and other nearby regions; others were resettled in Russia far from their home territories. Circassians live in more than fifty countries, besides the Republic of Adygea. Total population estimates differ: according to some sources, some two million live in Turkey, Jordan, Syria, and Iraq; other sources have between one and four million in Turkey alone.
Middle East
Turkey
The Circassians in Turkey number between 130,000 and 2 millions and they are one of the largest ethnic minorities in Turkey.

The Syrian crisis: Internal dynamics and international diplomacy
Violence in Syria was likely to escalate after Russia and China's veto on the weekend of a UN Security draft resolution calling for President Bashar al-Assad to step down. That was the conclusion of an IISS panel discussion on Monday. IISS Senior Fellow for Middle East Security Emile Hokayem forecast a massive regime counter-attack on the opposition, as the government sought to take back control of areas it had lost. Meanwhile there would be a 'qualitative shift' in the Syrian diaspora, Gulf states and others arming the opposition Free Syrian Army. The Arab League had probably delivered all that it could. -

At one point, the bustling financial and cultural district was 13x the population density of Manhattan and a hub for thinkers and creatives in the area.

NATO, Turkey, Syria and Syrian Armenians.
What strategies should Syrian Armenians follow due to the Syrian conflict? The Armenian Government and various organizations and individuals in the Diaspora must be much more active in presenting the Syrian Armenian problems and losses to the world community. Interview of France-Arménie monthly magazine with ARF Leader Hrant Markaryan is read. At the end a 10 min TV interview with Sibel Edmonds is shown about the direct involvement of Turkey and NATO in training mercenaries and rebels in Turkey to be sent to Syria. Very eye opening.

Violence in Syria was likely to escalate after Russia and China's veto on the weekend of a UN Security draft resolution calling for President Bashar al-Assad to step down. That was the conclusion of an IISS panel discussion on Monday. IISS Senior Fellow for Middle East Security Emile Hokayem forecast a massive regime counter-attack on the opposition, as the government sought to take back control of areas it had lost. Meanwhile there would be a 'qualitative shift' in the Syrian diaspora, Gulf states and others arming the opposition Free Syrian Army. The Arab League had probably delivered all that it could.

On Friday, April 17, 2015 at University of Houston,
Students for Justice in Palestine presented the event:
Capital of the Palestinian Diaspora: The Story of Yarmouk
Speaker: Talal Alyan
Hosted by: Syrian American Council (Houston Chapter)
Yarmouk, called the capitol of the Palestinian diaspora, is just 10 km outside of Damascus and was once home to 500,000 Syrians and Palestinians. At one point, the bustling financial and cultural district was 13x the population density of Manhattan and a hub for thinkers and creatives in the area.
Today, the district has been under siege for 2.5 years and under manufactured drought since last September. People struggle to find food and plan their day around collecting water. International aid agencies are unable to penetrate the siege to deliver food, while media outlets no longer pick up stories on the austere and inhumane conditions.
How did this happen? And what, if anything, can be done?
Join us along with co-sponsors Students for Justice in Palestine at UH for an evening on Yarmouk: to learn about the neighborhood story, the collective institutional failings, and what we can do about it.
Talal Alyan is a Palestinian American writer based in Brooklyn and a former board member of Palestinian League for Human Rights. Talal works with activists in Yarmouk to document human rights abuses. He shares their story and struggles through his writing.

Paul Amar, Associate Professor, Global & International Studies Program, University of California, Santa Barbara, and Paulo Pinto, Director of the Center for Middle East Studies at the Fluminense Federal University, Niteroi, Brazil, will be speaking on the “Value of Transregional / Transnational Comparative Scholarship.” Why does work that crosses between the Middle East and Latin America (specifically Brazil) raise questions and develop methods that are uniquely productive and illuminating? Amar and Pinto will focus on how they began to develop this network in Rio in 2003 and how it has developed, as well as speaking to their specific fields of anthropology, political science and global studies.
Paul Amar will present on “Queer Encounters between Brazil and the Middle East: Geopolitics, Gender and Political Culture as an Emerging ‘Tropical Superpower’ faces the aftermath of the Arab Spring.”
Paulo Pinto will present on “Diasporic Allegiances, the Political Mobilization of the Syrian-Lebanese Community in Brazil and the Syrian Civil War.”
Paulo Pinto will speak on the Syrian-Lebanese presence in Brazil, created by several waves of immigration, which started in the late nineteenth century and continued, albeit in much reduced numbers, until today. The Syrian immigrants and their descendants usually tried to connect their identities to larger Arab nationalistic frameworks, creating and affiliating themselves to Syrian-Lebanese and/or Arab institutions, rather than simply Syrian ones. However, the ongoing civil war in Syria has triggered an unprecedented political mobilization of this population, including the generations born and raised in Brazil, around specific Syrian issues. While one would expect that communities who experienced a transition to democracy thirty years ago would support the Syrian uprising, most of Syrian diasporic organizations in Brazil and Argentina have shown an unconditional support to the Ba‘thist regime. Based on ethnographic fieldwork on religious and ethnic associations, interviews with diaspora leaders and organizations’ members, as well as on the organizations’ material and history, our paper aims to understand the political positioning of the Syria-Lebanese immigrants and their descendants in Brazil, as well as to unveil how Bashar el Assad’s government has tried to capitalize this support as some sort of transnational political capital in order to strengthen his position both inside Syria and in the international arena.

What strategies should Syrian Armenians follow due to the Syrian conflict? The Armenian Government and various organizations and individuals in the Diaspora must be much more active in presenting the Syrian Armenian problems and losses to the world community. Interview of France-Arménie monthly magazine with ARF Leader Hrant Markaryan is read.
At the end a 10 min TV interview with Sibel Edmonds is shown about the direct involvement of Turkey and NATO in training mercenaries and rebels in Turkey to be sent to Syria. Very eye opening. It clearly shows that the Syrian Revolution is not Syrian.
