Abstract
A detailed examination of the religious structure of this Arab country, the characteristics and the role of the most important elements in the socio-political dynamics, measures taken by the Syrian authorities on settlement of the crisis as well as methods of ethnoconfessional manipulation by outside forces makes it possible to give a more balanced assessment and understanding of the events occurring in the country.The formation of the internal political situation in Syria is largely influenced by the religious and ethnographic structure of its population.Among the most pressing ethno-religious problems which permeate the security, economic, social and political life of Syrian society, it is useful to note the Sunni-alawite differences, the Kurdish question, the Palestinian and Druze, eviction from the Christian communities, the concerns of small communities (Armenians, Circassians, etc.), the radicalization of the Islamic community.
