In March 2011, in part to avoid further demonstrations and unrest from spreading across Syria, the Syrian government promised to tackle the issue and grant Syrian citizenship to approximately 300,000 Kurds who had been previously denied the right.
2011年3月，部分原因是為了避免進一步的示威與動亂蔓延到全國各地，敘利亞政府承諾要解決這一問題，對大約30萬名先前被剝奪權利的庫德族人，承認其為敘利亞公民。
