Researcher Ahmed Abzid: The mother's right to grant citizenship to her children is a constitutional principle, and the first priority is to discuss increasing the value of Syrian citizenship Details: Researcher Ahmed Abzid confirmed that any discrimination in rights based on gender is a violation of the first principle in all modern constitutions, which describes the right of the mother to grant citizenship to her children in the same way as the father as a clear issue and a constitutional principle that is surprising that there is a debate about it. Abazid referred to the results of the latest Arab Index survey for 2026, which showed that 28% of Syrians are still thinking about emigrating, indicating that obtaining additional citizenship is one of the most important motivations for this. He emphasized that the priority, in light of the current circumstances and the unclear political horizon, is to work to convince the children of Syrian men and women that their nationality is not a fatal curse that requires escape, crossing seas, forest roads and deportation for decades to change this, instead of discussing preventing some of them.
