Dialogue between Syrian government, Autonomous Administration must adhere to basic constants
RAQQA, Syria (North Press) – Any upcoming dialogue between the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES) and Syrian government must adhere to basic constants, a leader of Future Syria Party in the city of Raqqa, northern Syria, said on Tuesday.
The Future Syria Party was founded on March 27, 2018. It is active in northeast Syria. Ibrahim al-Qaftan was elected as the president of the party and Hevrin Khalaf was elected as secretary-general.
In 2019, Hevrin Khalaf was assassinated on M4 highway between Raqqa and Hasakah by Ahrar al-Sharqiya, a Turkish-backed armed faction.
On May 7, 2022, Abd Hamed al-Mehbash was elected as the party’s president succeeding its founder Ibrahim al-Qaftan.
There is talk about the necessity of reaching a total understanding between the AANES and the government coinciding with Turkish threats of a new invasion into Syrian territories.
Muwaffaq al-Ahmad, spokesperson for the Future Syria Party considered that “the specialty of the Syria Democratic Forces (SDF), the Internal Security Forces of North and East Syria (Asayish), and the AANES, all should be acknowledged by the Syrian government and must be registered in the future Syrian constitution.”
The AANES denied, on July 29, what went on social media regarding secret meetings between the Syrian Democratic Council (SDC) and AANES on one hand and the Syrian government on the other.
He told North Press that, officials and politicians in northeast Syria welcome any step towards effective dialogue between Syrian people which should result a lasting and comprehensive solution, and finally, a decentralized, pluralistic and democratic governmental system.
The spokesperson of the Future Syria Party believes that it is legitimate for the AANES to defend these constants especially that the SDF is the force that fought against terrorism and liberated these areas from Islamic State (ISIS) control.
