Syria has not owned Golan for 70 years but for thousands of years, beginning with the Syrian civilizations of Amorites and later Aramaeans, Then came the few jewish settlers that lived there for a short period of time.
The Great Syrian King - Salahuddin owned Golan and also during the Ottoman Empire (1517-1917), the Golan was considered a part of the Syrian (Southern) district of their empire. When France ceded Golan to Syria this was a correction of the mistake of putting it together with Palestine in the first place, since historically, geographically and rightfully it is Syria`s and no one else`s. |
