allowed to work (Article 26), the Islamic Republic the decision was only able to<br />

operate openly. In addition, the ownership <strong>and</strong> operation <strong>of</strong> the influence <strong>of</strong> the<br />

media are the prerogative <strong>of</strong> the State (Article 175).<br />

<strong>The</strong> most obvious contrast between the old <strong>and</strong> the new regime is in the<br />

field <strong>of</strong> ideology. A particular br<strong>and</strong> <strong>of</strong> Shiism is the <strong>of</strong>ficial religion (items l<br />

<strong>and</strong> 2), <strong>and</strong> the state is responsible for the spread <strong>of</strong> this sect <strong>and</strong> its Persianbased<br />

religious culture in Iran <strong>and</strong> abroad (Preamble). <strong>The</strong> Islamic State's<br />

approach to the multilingual <strong>and</strong> multicultural country, with slight differences, a<br />

continuation <strong>of</strong> the old policy regime. According to Article 19 <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Constitution, "color, race, language <strong>and</strong> should not be a question <strong>of</strong> privilege."<br />

(4) <strong>The</strong> privilege <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>ficial status is granted only Persian, however, the mother<br />

tongue <strong>of</strong> more than 50% <strong>of</strong> countries in the population. According to Article<br />

15, the agent <strong>and</strong> the common language <strong>and</strong> writing <strong>of</strong> the people <strong>of</strong> Iran are<br />

Persian. Official documents, correspondence <strong>and</strong> statements <strong>and</strong> the manuals<br />

will be written in that language <strong>and</strong> writing.<br />

As' the Constitution <strong>of</strong> 12 March 1973, approved by referendum three<br />

years after taking power to Hafez al-Assad, Syria has established a strong<br />

presidential system in which the president is elected on proposal <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Assembly for a term <strong>of</strong> seven years. In language, only Article 4 has a provision<br />

<strong>of</strong> language: "Arabic is the <strong>of</strong>ficial language." Under this single provision, the<br />

classical Arabic language is the vehicle for all communications <strong>of</strong> the Syrian<br />

state. In other words, the Constitution <strong>of</strong> the Syrian Arab Republic adopted by<br />

referendum on 12 March 1973 prohibited the <strong>Kurd</strong>ish language. Despite the<br />

assertion <strong>of</strong> principles embodied in the constitution is obviously a function <strong>of</strong> its<br />

consecration by the laws <strong>and</strong> regulations. But it is not for the <strong>Kurd</strong>s. <strong>The</strong><br />

exercise <strong>of</strong> constitutional freedoms <strong>and</strong> rights are not for the <strong>Kurd</strong>s. Because the<br />

constitutionality <strong>of</strong> laws or draft laws submitted to it by the President <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Republic or a quarter <strong>of</strong> the members <strong>of</strong> the Assembly (Art. 139 to 148). As for<br />

regulations (Decrees <strong>of</strong> the President <strong>of</strong> the Republic, decrees <strong>of</strong> the Council <strong>of</strong><br />

Ministers, ministers or administrative authorities, circulars, etc ...) their legality<br />

is subject to control by the Council <strong>of</strong> State (Law No. 55 <strong>of</strong> February 21 1959)<br />

or the courts. <strong>The</strong> Arabization <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Kurd</strong>s is a policy <strong>of</strong> imperialism Arabic.<br />

Arabic: as a result <strong>of</strong> territorial expansion in the Middle Ages <strong>and</strong> through the<br />

dissemination <strong>of</strong> the Koran, this language became the liturgical language, has<br />

spread throughout North Africa <strong>and</strong> Asia Minor. <strong>The</strong> Arabization <strong>of</strong> the Berber<br />

<strong>of</strong> Morocco, Algeria <strong>and</strong> Libya encounter resistance from people who want<br />

language rights. Similarly, in Sudan, where Arab takes the place <strong>of</strong> English <strong>and</strong><br />

African languages spoken in the south. ; Under the domination <strong>of</strong> the Ottoman<br />

Empire, the <strong>Kurd</strong>s have practiced Sunni Islam in Arabic <strong>and</strong> Persian, this<br />

influence has changed the phonological <strong>and</strong> morphological structures <strong>of</strong> the<br />

<strong>Kurd</strong>ish language <strong>and</strong> dialects. (See Annex-1 )<br />
