The old Baathist emblem of Syria has been replaced with a new emblem at an official ceremony presided by President Ahemd al-Sharaa and the members of the Syria government.
The previous emblem, the Hawk of Quarish, used commonly by Baathist parties, has been replaced by the Eagle of Saladin, a symbol used by Egypt representing Nasserite and Arabic nationalism. The new eagle has 14 feathers representing the 14 Syrian governates and the 14 years of Revolution against the Assad regime. The three stars represent the three main provinces of Syria: Damascus, Aleppo and Deir ez-Zor.
The name of the country has remained unchanged, to the disappointment of the Kurds, as the word “Arab” has not been removed from the official title. Syriaโs official name remains the “Syrian Arab Republic”.
