What are your thoughts on this progress?
We welcome this agreement and extend our gratitude to the nations, organizations, and individuals who contributed to its realization. We commend the resilience of the people who, from the outset, demonstrated solidarity and took to the streets worldwide. The DEM Party reaffirms its unwavering commitment to maintaining solidarity to ensure the success of this process.The will of Rojava, the autonomous administration in northeast Syria, is paramount to us, and we are dedicated to supporting its decisions.we have consistently maintained that issues must be resolved through negotiation and dialog, and we reiterate this position today.
This agreement represents a significant step towards stability in Syria, potentially ending years of conflict and uncertainty in the region. The integration of the SDF into the syrian army is a crucial element, addressing concerns about the future of Kurdish fighters who played a vital role in defeating ISIS. Tho, the long-term success of this integration will depend on the Syrian government’s commitment to protecting the rights and cultural identity of the Kurdish population within a unified Syria.
