Intra-Kurdish talks have come a long way: PYD-led Kurdish National Unity Parties
QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) – On Monday, the PYD-led Kurdish National Unity Parties (PYNK) in northern Syria declared that the talks with the Kurdish National Council in Syria (ENKS) “have come a long way in order to reach a comprehensive agreement between the Kurdish political parties in north and east Syria.”
A report released by PYNK stated that the comprehensive agreement would be the fruit of “a comprehensive supreme Kurdish position that enjoys the independence of its political decision and represents the hopes and aspirations of the Kurds and their just cause in national and international forums.”
In June 2020, both PYNK and ENKS reached a political understanding about forming a unified Kurdish position for the Kurds of Syria following an initiative by Syrian Democratic Forces Commander-in-Chief Mazloum Abdi.
PYNK stressed through a statement on Monday that they would continue their efforts “to accomplish the strategic talk regarding our national cause, and commit to all that has been reached.”
The statement appealed to all Kurdish, national, and allied forces to make the possible efforts that would support the intra-Kurdish talks, calling on the Kurdish media to play a positive role in bringing the two sides close.
On Sunday, a leader ENKS Ne’mat Dawoud, said that ENKS’s commits to “success in the dialogue and unity of the Kurdish discourse to serve the Kurdish issue in Syria and find a solution for it.”
“Work is ongoing to resume the dialogue,” stating that the contact with the sponsors – SDF Commander-in-Chief and US envoy – is ongoing, he pointed out.
