Cultural, ethnic, religious and other factors which affected the socio-cultural processes in the Middle East were analyzed. According to the survey, new theoretical positions regarding the origins and nature of the basic socio-cultural transformations in the region have been developed. It was shown that throughout its history Syria many times had status of subordinate territory as a part of almost all the ancient empires. This is primarily due to the specifics of its geographical location. This situation has led to permanent social stratification and fragmentation of society. It was proved that the Arab conquest of the territory actually determined the specifics of socio-cultural development of Syria until the present day. The result was the establishment of the Arab conquest of Islam in Syria, as the main religion of the state, which also remains constant throughout the subsequent history of the country. It was the Arab conquest of Syria followed by the strengthening of Islam as the main religion laid the foundation for a future civil war that destroys the country today.
