RAQQA, Syria (North Press) \u2013 <\/strong>Syrian government has to begin negotiations with the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES) through joining it in the process of drafting a new constitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Syrian government has to negotiate with the AANES in order for the latter to participate in solving the Syrian crisis, the tribal dignitary of al-Avadelah clan of Raqqa, Mashlab al-Darwish said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that Arab delegations and politicians have to visit areas of Syria\u2019s north and east in order to witness directly the achievements of the AANES and its ability in developing the Syrian issue.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe recognize Damascus as the Syrian capital, but the governance in Syria should be federal,\u201d al-Darwish told North Press.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some foreign policies do not contribute to a solution of the Syrian crisis, but they seek to prolong it in favor of their interests, he noted.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The AANES has made a lot of sacrifices for sake of stabilizing the region and guaranteeing people\u2019s safety, so that it has the right to be as equal partner with the government, according to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The decentralization is the best option for Syria, and the AANES\u2019 experience is a unique model based on the foundations of pluralism and decentralization in the region, al-Darwish stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWithin a short time and with poor capabilities, the AANES started from scratch so that it has to be equated with the Syrian government and be recognized as a partner to the Syrian issue.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Al-Darwish pointed out that negotiation with the government has conditions \u201cFirst, the Syrian government has to recognize the AANES and preserve the gains that it has fulfilled during the past period.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe demand that the AANES be an active partner and participate in drafting the constitution through a real representation in the Constitutional Committee,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Residents of north and east Syria support the unity of Syria and reject occupation, according to al-Darwish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, they recognize Damascus as capital for Syrians, but \u201creject reconciliation with the government through national reconciliation, or settlement on the basis of local administration.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
