The Syrian rabbinical establishment stopped *performing* conversions about 80 years ago due to a problem of marriages with non-Jews who then sought to convert for marriage purposes.

Nevertheless they only will not perform any conversions within their community. Valid conversions done by rabbis outside the Syrian community are fully recognized as full Jews in all respects by the Syrian community.
