    Not as a title, but if i recall correctly, the first first article of the old constitution states that the Syrian Arab Republic is a Democracy. Also for what it’s worth, the Baath party was also officially “socialist”.

    The lack of a monarchy isn’t enough to qualify as a republic, the people need to also hold some sort of power.
