The Syrian Future Movement welcomes the European Union’s decision to lift the sanctions imposed on Syria, viewing it as a step that reflects a shift in international policy toward the country after years of economic and political isolation.
The Syrian Future Movement sees this decision as historically significant, representing the beginning of a new phase that can contribute to rebuilding the Syrian economy and strengthening internal stability.
The Syrian Future Movement affirms that the sanctions imposed since 2011 had a profound impact on various sectors, especially energy, transportation, and construction, leading to a decline in local production and worsening living conditions.
The Syrian Future Movement believes that lifting sanctions on Syrian banks and the energy sector will help improve economic conditions, potentially revitalizing the Syrian pound, increasing investments, and facilitating financial transfers, all of which would positively impact citizens’ lives.
The Syrian Future Movement emphasizes that this decision comes amid recent political changes in Syria, where the focus has shifted toward reconstruction and economic stability, rather than the ideological conflicts that dominated the political scene for years.
The Syrian Future Movement believes that this stage requires intensive efforts to ensure that this international openness is leveraged to achieve sustainable development and strengthen cooperation with European countries in a way that serves the interests of the Syrian people.
The Syrian Future Movement calls for taking advantage of this opportunity to restructure the Syrian economy and launch development projects that enhance stability, create job opportunities, and restore Syria’s natural position in the global economic system.
The Syrian Future Movement stresses that lifting sanctions should be a step toward achieving a comprehensive political transition that ensures the participation of all Syrian factions in building the country’s future and promotes justice and national reconciliation.
The Syrian Future Movement emphasizes the importance of joint work between political and economic forces to ensure that this shift marks the beginning of a new phase of stability and prosperity, far from isolation and marginalization policies.
The Syrian Future Movement values this European step and affirms that Syria’s future must be built on the foundations of international cooperation, economic development, and political stability, in a way that fulfills the aspirations of the Syrian people for a brighter future.
