She stated: \u201cThe transitional government imposed itself on Syria. They formed the government on their own, announced the constitution on their own, and the People\u2019s Assembly as well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the same context, she said the AANES maintains contacts with Washington and Ankara and has presented \u201cseveral initiatives for de-escalation,\u201d adding: \u201cWe are waiting for their response.\u201d She also said that what occurred in the neighborhoods of Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafieh in Aleppo \u201cwas the result of international understandings.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ahmed concluded her remarks by calling on Arab countries \u201cto help Syria prevent sliding into an internal war.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The March 10 agreement, signed between President al-Sharaa and SDF Commander General Mazloum Abdi, sets out principles for dialogue and coordination on security and administrative issues. The Syrian Democratic Forces, backed by the U.S.-led coalition, remain the main security actor in northeast Syria, where they oversee stability and counterterrorism operations in coordination with AANES institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>By Atoun Jan<\/strong><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) \u2013 Ilham Ahmed, head of the Foreign Relations Department of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES), said on Thursday that accusations by Damascus that her administration failed to implement the March 10 agreement are \u201cnot true,\u201d stressing that international parties are aware of this.
