We are simply waiting for Damascus to set a date for the resumption of talks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She concluded by reaffirming the AANES\u2019 dedication to a political resolution and to ensuring the success of the March 10 agreement, \u201cdespite Damascus\u2019s delays and failure to adhere to the agreed timeline.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since the March 10 agreement, the AANES and the Syrian transitional government have held multiple rounds of talks on political and military issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the progress has been slow, with Damascus frequently delaying meetings and failing to formalize understandings reached verbally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The AANES has repeatedly emphasized its readiness for dialogue and flexibility on contentious issues, while urging international guarantors to pressure Damascus for compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The agreement is seen as a key step toward stabilizing northeastern Syria and integrating autonomous governance structures into the broader Syrian political framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Reporting by Dilsoz Youssef<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Editing by Jwan
