Syria ( سوريا or سورية ), officially the Syrian Arab Republic ( الجمهورية العربية السورية ), is a country in Southwest Asia, bordering Lebanon, the Mediterranean Sea and the island of Cyprus to the west, Israel to the southwest, Jordan to the south, Iraq to the east, and Turkey to the north.. so basically it is surrounded by shite. Especially Turkey.

[edit] Hold on …

Syria gained independence in April 1946. Officially a Republic, Syria has been under Emergency Law since 1963 and governed by the Baath Party. The head of state since 1970 has been a member of the Assad family. Syria's current president is Bashar al-Assad, son of Hafez al-Assad Parliament amended the constitution, reducing the mandatory minimum age of the President from 40 to 34 so Bashar al-Assad, could be legally eligible for nomination by the ruling Baath party. On July 10, 2000, Bashar al-Assad was elected President by referendum in which he ran unopposed, garnering 97.29% of the vote, according to Syrian Government statistics. He was inaugurated into office on July 17, 2000 for a 7-year term. Btw he is still the president and free to spread the lulz.

TL;DR version:

Don:t go to Syria and if you are a citizen get out while you can.

“	Facebook could become a conduit for Israeli penetration of our youth, but the real reason for blocking the forum because it provides for criticism of the authorities	„
—some random fucktard from the government

[edit] Law or whatever

Since 1963 Emergency Law has been in effect, effectively suspending most constitutional protections for Syrians.
