Democratic change is condition to negotiations with Syrian government, SDC
QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) – The Syrian Democratic Council (SDC) supports the Syrian people’s issue in fulfilling its ambitions, but it will not be a part of any dialogue or negotiation with the Syrian government if it does not fulfill the aspired democratic change, SDC said during a meeting, on Wednesday, that brought it together with activists, politicians and intellectuals of Deir ez-Zor, east Syria.
The idea of a decentralized system is not released by people of northeast Syria, although they adopt this approach, the SDC spokesman, Amjad Osman, said.
“The Syrian constitution of 1950 included articles achieve the political and economic decentralization, popular demands emerged at the time regarding this proposition that serves the country’s progress and development,” Osman added.
“A group of factors hold the Syrian government to think that it is the winner without being concerned about the misery it caused to the Syrian people believing that the military action is the better option,” Osman noted.
“But reality in Damascus is totally different where there are major challenges and no party can win without completing the political solution and implementing the democratic change,” he said.
Responsibility for what happens in the country, according to the SDC spokesman, is due to despotism, the central system and the rejection of any solutions or alternatives except the military option, which has proven its failure.
He pointed out that reconciliations cannot replace the serious dialogue and they are mere Maneuvering and circumventing political solutions that must be confronted. “The Daraa experience has proven its failure.”
Osman stressed that they keep in touch with the US and Russia to reach a unified vision to end the conflict in Syria and also with the democratic opposition.
