Omar confirmed that the SDF leadership is currently studying the proposal before issuing a formal response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking to North Press, Omar noted that despite several meetings held in recent months, no tangible progress has been achieved in negotiations regarding the implementation of the March 10 agreement. \u201cUntil now, none of the agreed-upon points have been implemented in practice,\u201d he said, adding that discussions had taken place in a positive atmosphere with the participation of American and occasionally French representatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Omar stressed that the transitional authority in Damascus bears responsibility for the lack of implementation, pointing out that regional pressures, including Turkish influence, may have affected the course of talks. He emphasized the need for a high-level negotiation round before the end of the year to reach consensus on unresolved issues. \u201cSuch understandings could be an important step toward calming destructive rhetoric and hostility that harm Syria\u2019s unity and future,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regarding the government\u2019s proposal to integrate the SDF into the Syrian army, Omar explained that differences remain between the two sides. While AANES views integration as a partnership and complementarity among Syria\u2019s diverse components, Damascus interprets it as a process of dissolution and handover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He recalled that during a meeting on October 7 between SDF Commander General Mazloum Abdi and transitional president Ahmad al-Shar\u2019a, attended by American representatives, a theoretical agreement was reached to integrate the SDF into the Ministry of Defense within three military divisions and two brigades. One brigade would focus on counterterrorism, while the other would consist of Women\u2019s Protection Units. Implementation of this plan, however, was left to specialized subcommittees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Omar further highlighted challenges in applying other provisions of the March 10 agreement, citing fundamental differences over mechanisms of execution. He said the transitional authority continues to resist genuine partnership, preferring unilateral measures that reinforce centralized control. \u201cAccepting a new centralized system with radical tendencies would mean reproducing authoritarianism, which is unacceptable,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Concluding his statement, Omar affirmed AANES\u2019s readiness to allow sufficient time for negotiations, stressing that military solutions will not bring lasting results. \u201cWe are convinced that only dialogue and agreements can lead to solutions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>By Atoun Jan<\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) \u2013 Abdulkarim Omar, the representative of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES) in Damascus, revealed on Friday that Syria\u2019s Ministry of Defense has submitted a written proposal to the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) outlining administrative, logistical, and structural details for a potential integration process.
