Ankara, Jan. 31 (SANA) A group of 98 researchers and academics has prepared a comprehensive, systematic report containing proposals and solutions for Syria’s reconstruction, outlining a vision that anticipates the country’s future and addresses challenges in the short, medium, and long term.
According to Anadolu Agency, several Turkish civil society organizations presented the report on Saturday during an academic event in Istanbul. Entitled “Syria: Expectations, Proposals, Solutions,” the report aims to establish a roadmap for sustainable cooperation across various vital sectors.
The report is based on a three-dimensional reconstruction methodology. It covers 15 critical fields through 65 research papers, including law, politics, economics, international relations, higher education, media, architecture, health, science and technology, as well as humanitarian aid and the role of civil society organizations.
The report’s authors stressed that it seeks to take concrete steps to strengthen sustainable cooperation between Turkey and Syria, offering scientific alternatives to overcome obstacles facing reconstruction and to revive developmental sectors, while drawing on regional and local expertise.
“Documenting what has happened in Syria over the past years by the Digital Memory Association is invaluable for drawing lessons from the past, preventing new injustices in other parts of the world, and helping Syria overcome its pain more easily.” Istanbul Governor Davut Gül stated during the event.
Heads of participating institutions, including Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror Foundation University President Nevzat Şimşek and Humanitarian Relief Foundation President Bülent Yıldırım, highlighted that the report, prepared in Arabic, Turkish, and English, presents a comprehensive vision that could serve as a technical foundation for Syria’s overall reconstruction process.
It is noteworthy that the report was presented at a ceremony hosted by Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror Foundation University in Istanbul, attended by a distinguished group of academics and experts in development and humanitarian affairs.
