QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) <\/strong>\u2013 The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) denied on Wednesday media reports claiming that it held meetings with unofficial Lebanese parties last month, describing the information as \u201cfalse and fabricated\u201d and aimed at misleading public opinion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement, Farhad Shami, Director of the SDF Media Center, rejected what he called a coordinated attempt to circulate inaccurate claims regarding alleged contacts between the SDF, the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES), and Lebanese figures during November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSome suspicious media outlets promoted false and fabricated news about alleged meetings between the Syrian Democratic Forces and the Autonomous Administration with unofficial Lebanese parties in November,\u201d Shami said. \u201cThis was a clear attempt to mislead public opinion and replace facts with media noise.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shami emphasized that the SDF and the AANES maintain a transparent approach to communication and engagement, particularly on matters related to security, stability, and humanitarian concerns. He stressed that any legitimate contact serving these objectives is conducted openly and within a clear framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe SDF and the Autonomous Administration affirm that communication with any party that serves security, stability, and humanitarian issues is a legitimate and public right,\u201d he added, underscoring that such engagement does not occur secretly or outside established channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The statement comes amid heightened media scrutiny of political and security dynamics in northeast Syria, a region administered by the AANES and secured by the US-backed SDF. The area has remained relatively stable compared to other parts of the country, with local authorities focusing on governance, counterterrorism efforts, and coordination with international partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shami concluded by firmly rejecting what he described as deliberate attempts to fabricate news and distort facts. \u201cThis falsification will not create an alternative reality,\u201d he said, adding that such reporting \u201creveals the level of professional and political decline of the parties promoting it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
