AANES largely holds “Syrian regime” responsibility for Syrian crisis
QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) – On Sunday, the Department of Foreign Relations of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES) held largely the Syrian government the responsibility for Syria’s dire humanitarian, political and economic conditions.
The Department of Foreign Relations said ten years have passed and the Syrian crisis is deepening and becoming more complex, and “the Syrian regime largely bears the responsibility.”
“The regime is responsible for displacement and refugee movement that all the communities of the Syrian people were subjected to all over the country, in addition to the infrastructure that has been destroyed and large parts of Syria have been occupied by Turkey,” the Department said.
“All of the above requires more responsible positions and policies towards what is happening on the Syrian arena,” it added.
“Although the regime lacks such attitudes to carry out its responsibilities, we see that it is attacking the forces (SDF) that fight terrorism, with a discourse of chauvinism and irrationality, and calling them disgraceful,” the AANES said.
Yesterday, the Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates considered the response of the SDF, with the support of Global Coalition, to ISIS attacks “acts that amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity.”
The AANES Department of Foreign Relations described these statements as funny and ridiculous, as “the regime should be asked today what is happening in Syria and about the crimes committed over ten years of killing and displacing civilians.”
“The keenness that the regime’s foreign ministry is talking about on Hasakah would be preferable if it were from a Syrian point of view. It seems that the regime has forgotten that Hasakah is a Syrian city and those who defend it today against (ISIS) are the sons of Syria,” the AANES added.
“However, the regime’s preference for ISIS seems to be a way to justify its failure to engage in dialogue with the Autonomous Administration and its success in dominating the region,” it noted.
“While we condemn such irresponsible statements, we remind those who said them that ISIS occupied large areas of Syria and would not have diminished and ended militarily without the resistance and sacrifices of our people,” according to the AANES.
The Autonomous Administration stressed that “the regime’s foreign affairs should play its role at the level of the Security Council and the United Nations in limiting Turkey’s practices, its occupation of Syria, and its practices and its mercenaries.”
“These statements raise the morale of ISIS and the Turkish occupation, which directly supports the terrorists’ operation in Guweiran prison,” it added.
“The regime should change its mentality and think carefully about its responsibility for the Syrian events and developments.”
The Department of Foreign Relations of the AANES called “the Syrian regime’s foreign ministry to admit that all the plans and media talk that it has adopted over the years in Syria no longer work and no one believes these narratives. It should end the language of rhetoric, treason and destruction without any self-review in the worst estimate.”
