An official source in the Syrian government run by Ahmed Al-Shara said that the conference held by the SDF in the northeast of the country does not represent an inclusive national framework, but rather a fragile alliance that includes parties affected by the victory of the Syrian people, indicating that the conference was a blow to the ongoing negotiation efforts, and that the government will not participate in any scheduled meetings in Paris, and will not sit at the negotiating table with any party seeking to revive the era of the former regime under any name or cover.
In a statement about the SDF conference, the source toldSANA: The Syrian government affirms that the right of citizens to peaceful assembly and constructive dialogue, whether at the level of their regions or at the national level, is a safeguarded right that the state guarantees and encourages, provided that it is within the framework of the comprehensive national project that rallies around the unity of Syria’s land, people and sovereignty.
The source added: The government confirms that religious or national groups have the full right to express their political views, hold meetings and establish their parties within national legal frameworks, provided that their activity is peaceful, that they do not take up arms against the state, and that they do not impose their vision on the form of the Syrian state.
The source indicated that the form of the state is not decided through factional understandings, but rather through a permanent constitution approved through a popular referendum, ensuring the participation of all citizens on an equal footing. Any citizen has the right to present his views about the state, but this is done through public dialogue and ballot boxes, not through threat or armed force.
The source considered that what happened in the northeast of the country does not represent an inclusive national framework, but rather a fragile alliance that includes parties affected by the victory of the Syrian people and the fall of the defunct regime, and some parties that monopolized or tried to monopolize the representation of Syria’s components by the de facto force, and based on external support, these parties and parties resort to such conferences to escape from the entitlements of the future, and in disguise of the constants of the Syrian state based on one army, one government, and one country.
The source confirmed that the Syrian government strongly condemns the hosting of separatist figures involved in hostilities, in clear violation of the March 10 agreement, and that it holds SDF and its leadership fully responsible for the repercussions of this, and considers that this conference is internationalize the Syrian issue, attract foreign interference, and re-impose sanctions, which the SDF bears the legal, political, and historical consequences.
The source considered that this conference constituted present proposals that contradict the March 10 agreement, whether by calling for the formation of a “nucleus of a new national army,” reconsidering the constitutional declaration, or amending administrative divisions, although the agreement clearly stipulated the integration of all civil and military institutions in northeastern Syria into state institutions, and guaranteeing rights on the basis of competence rather than affiliation.
He added: “This conference is a violation of the entitlements that the Syrian government has begun to implement, including the formation of the Transitional Justice Commission and the start of its work, and the path of national dialogue launched by the Syrian government last February and continues until the country is brought to safety.”
According to the government source, the SDF conference represents an evasion of the implementation of the benefits of the ceasefire and the integration of institutions, and a continuation of the violation of the agreement, and at the same time it is a cover for the policies of systematic demographic change against the Syrian Arabs, implemented by extremist Kurdish currents that receive their instructions from Qandil.
He said: “As this step restores the approach of the conferences that sought to divide Syria before independence, the Syrian government confirms that the Syrian people, who thwarted those plans and established the state of independence, will today fail these projects again, moving confidently towards building the Second Republic.”
According to the source, the government confirms that this conference was a blow to the ongoing negotiation efforts. Accordingly, it will not participate in any scheduled meetings in Paris, nor will it sit at the negotiating table with any party seeking to revive the era of the former regime under any name or cover. It also calls on SDF to engage seriously in the implementation of the March 10 agreement. It also calls on international mediators to transfer all negotiations to Damascus as the legitimate and national address for dialogue between Syrians.
