An official in the Autonomous Administration of northeast Syria told North-Press that the conflicting forces don’t want a solution for the crisis, and that the Autonomous Administration is a platform that owns solutions, which will be across north and eastern Syria, and the formation of the constitutional committee without the participation of 30% of the Syrian people confirms the state of division, which isn’t a solution for the Kurdish and regional issues. 
Foza al-Youssef said that non-participation of the Autonomous Administration in the recently announced constitutional committee means that the fighting forces in Syria “don’t want a solution for the crisis, as they want the instability of the situation”.

Al-Youssef added that this also means the continuation of what she described as a policy of “marginalization and exclusion of the will of the Syrian components, especially the Kurdish people”. 
“The formation of the Constitutional Committee without the participation of 30% of the Syrian people is a confirmation of the state of division and the status of existing areas of influence”, she said.
She explained that Turkey caused “deepening violence and chaos in Syria, and funded all extremist and terrorist organizations, in order to transform the entire north and east of Syria into new Afrin and Idlib”. 
She warned of the seriousness of this Turkish approach, adding that, “the exclusion of the Autonomous Administration is a direct support for Turkish ambitions”, while noting that, “the Constitutional Committee doesn’t have the elements of success because it is a continuation of the failed projects of Astana and Geneva talks, and the lack of a draft solution to the participating and supporting forces”, as she described. 
Al-Youssef also said that the representation of only two persons of the Kurdish component in the Constitutional Committee aimed at throwing ash in the eyes, considering that the process of excluding the Autonomous Administration which owns political and military power, and put representatives of the Kurdish National Council (ENKS) is a “dangerous game”, adding that “One who doesn’t own the political and military power, cannot have any influence in the negotiation process and in the constitutional committee”.

A democratic solution project 
Northeast Syria official stressed on its vision that stability in Syria is linked to “achieving a democratic solution project which passes from a decentralized state and rely on the autonomous administrations”, explaining that “the decentralized state doesn’t mean division, but it means integration and voluntary unity, while the central state means the consolidation of internal war and deepening the disruption state of Syria”. 
She also said that the Autonomous Administration sees itself as “a part of Syria and that the separation isn’t a solution for the Kurdish issue, nor to any region in Syria, because separation for any part of Syria means political suicide, and the transformation of the separated part into a colony of a regional state”. 
She stressed that “the solution is to ensure the rights of the Kurdish people and other components via democratic principles, which are above the constitution, and within the Syrian unity”.
Foza al-Youssef also said that the steps of the Syrian government’s agreement with the opposition “will fail, while the United Nations and the international community will be forced to re-frame the political process, because there are still complicated issues which cannot be resolved”. 
She added that the last eight years confirmed what was mentioned above, continuing that “if the issues of Afrin and Idlib with the issues of the occupied territories by Turkey isn’t resolved with the files (ISIS and Jabhat al-Nusra), the reconciliation won’t be achieved”, as al-Youssef said.
She stressed that this reconciliation won’t be occurred without the participation of the Autonomous Administration, saying that the latter “is a platform owns a solution project no matter it’s now excluded, and this will be confirmed to the sponsors of the negotiations”, according to her talk to North-Press. 
She concluded that, “Our determination will determine the fate of the next phase in Syria, and it won’t be an exaggeration to say that the solution will pass from north and east of Syria sooner or later”.
