Political Report of the Kurdistan Democratic Party - Syria, for the month of July 2019
ARK News: The current political scene raises attention or anticipation for a number of issues in the Syrian situation, and at the forefront of which is the safe area that is being handled by the political and media circles, and seeks international and regional diplomacy in both, including Turkey in particular, and despite the fact that the main role of the international coalition, especially America, because its area of influence (east of the Euphrates river) is concerned with the establishment of this region, and therefore America remains the concerned with its affairs primarily and then the international community represented by the United Nations.
The other issue is the case of Idlib and the violent conflicts between the armed forces (the armed opposition factions with the Turkish support in one hand and the regime's forces with the support of the Russian-Iranian in the other hand) in the pursuit of the regime and its allies to restore this province to the control of the regime or the Russian influence, at a time when everyone is waiting for the meeting of the Astana-Sochi countries number 13, to be held on August 1 and 2 in the city of Sultan of Kazakhstan, as concerned states with seeking to reduce tension and ceasefire in the concerned areas so, not to mention international diplomatic endeavors and efforts to complete the formation of the constitutional committee and the holding of meetings of the Negotiating Body in this regard.
It is noticeable through the reactions of the Syrian situation, that the arrangements that get on the Syrian territory coincided with political developments and diplomatic efforts in this regard, which means that there is consensus between the two sides, despite sometimes different procedural issues or related to the interests of current international and regional, therefore, partial solutions may be obtained here and there, but the desired political solution may be delayed until both the slow pace of the necessary arrangements or the adoption of the Syrian regime and its allies the option of a military solution in this regard, or the side to the coherence of the crises of the entire region, and in conjunction with the crystallization of political Islam in most of the hotbeds of tension in the region, which requires the Western community and in the forefront of the international coalition led by America to combat the risks posed to the future of the region and the interests of the coalition and other international forces.
Turkey, despite its suffering from the ramifications of domestic and foreign policy, and the difficulties that accumulate before it, but it still plays a double role in dealing with both Russia and the International Alliance, and seeks hard to establish the safe area through more military mobilization on the Syrian border and the launch of the blatant threats here and there under the pretext of the removal of the alleged danger on its borders and secure a safe place for the Syrian refugees residing in Turkey in order to settle them and relieve their burdens, it seems that the work to establish the mentioned area above and consultations take an important part of time, especially in recent times, but the dispute is over who manages or supervises it, as well as the Syrian depth required between five kilometers and seven to fourteen kilometers and between 32 to 40 kilometers, there is general consensus among the parties concerned, and the regional components remain concerned that the scenario of the Afrin area and its tragedies may recur in other areas covered by the subject of the proposed safe area.
As for Iran, its conflict escalates with America by heating up the media war, it creates pretexts for direct military confrontation or through proxies in the region, because this may serve its agenda to ease the pressures and internal crises on the shoulders, and despite successive US economic sanctions, it threatens to withdraw from the nuclear agreement between them and the five permanent members, adding to Germany, which raises the concern of the concerned parties, and exercised a form of blackmail in this area, which means that Iran is proceeding with its policy orientations and even ideological profiteers and people living account, therefore, the conflict continues and Iran continues to receive more economic sanctions, and the national opposition movement continues to rise at home and abroad. Political pressure remains on it, and the work remains in order to keep Syria away from its danger, and strive to continue to limit its regional interventions, especially Iraq, Yemen, and Lebanon, and stop its policies and practices in this regard.
As for Iraq, it is noted that the government of Mr. Adel Abdul-Mahdi is taking strides, even if it is slow towards the order of the situation in general, and especially the focus on the political aspect at this important stage, and seeks to compatibility as possible among the components in general, towards serving the Iraqi national side, in order to limit the Iranian intervention and in response to the requirements of the stage, and to facilitate dealing with the international community, and to remove the risk of conflict on Iraqi territory, in this context, it has taken practical measures towards reducing the Iranian role in the Iraqi affairs, including the dismantling of the popular crowd militia and its annexation to the Iraqi army, and the government is moving towards further strengthening relations between Baghdad and Erbil, and the Supreme Constitutional Court has approved the continuity of the effect of Article 140 of the Iraqi Constitution, which related to Kirkuk and the disputed areas, but what is regrettable is still in Iraq chauvinistic ideologies remnants of the regime which had inherited from the ruling Baath Party what should be uprooted, especially those that contradict with the Iraqi constitution and provoke hatreds and oppressions, for example the act of the officer who tried to prevent one of the martyrs relatives to put the flag of Kurdistan in a new cemetery for the victims of Anfal in the province of Samawa.
On the whole, the new Iraqi government gives rise to optimism in achieving compatibility and harmony between the various components and political blocs towards stability in the country.
AS for the Kurdistan Region, things are going towards greater understanding and consensus on the basic issues, especially among the main parties (Kurdistan Democratic, Yekiti and Goran), while there are issues that require increased attention in order to provide more factors of stability and satisfaction that the confidence is high in the assigned role to the leaders and presidencies that act responsibly and serve the people of Kurdistan in various components towards development and progress, and perhaps the prominent role of the leader of the fighter President Masoud in the reunion and achieve understandings between these parties and the basic components of the region is a guide to the progress of the Kurdistan National Project led by the President himself, which heralds a promising future for Kurdistan towards the prospects of progress and prosperity.
As for Syrian Kurdistan, the Afrin region continues to groan under the weight of ongoing violations by some military groups with Islamist backgrounds filled with hatred of our people and affiliated on the parties of the Syrian opposition which are condemned by all human and moral standards before political considerations, in this context, endeavors and efforts continue to be made by friends in order to end the suffering of the Afrin people and facilitate the return of the displaced to their homes and property, and work to ensure the administration of the region from its people and provide factors of security and stability in the region.
On the other hand, there is deep concern in the circles and components adjacent to the Turkish border due to suspicious movements in the fear of repeated Afrin scenario in the region, while the International Alliance refers to assurances that would avoid risks in efforts and endeavors aimed at either achieving the planned safe zone along the Syrian-Turkish border or to build a new administration east of the Euphrates river, where emphasizing the fundamental and active role of the international community, including the consensus of the fundamental forces on the Syrian arena.
With regard to what they called efforts and endeavors towards achieving some form of understanding or consensus on common issues between the Kurdish National Council in Syria (ENKS) and the Democratic Union Party the PYD, that we either in the Kurdistan Democratic Party - Syria, or in the National Council confirm that there are no direct meetings between the two sides inside Syria, except what happened in Paris, the capital of France and for one time through the French mediator, we confirm that these efforts have been stopped for some time because of the lack of response by the PYD side about the issue of abductees and political and judicial pursuers, where the French mediator asked them to clarify the situation of the detainees after receiving a detailed list of their names and the date of their abduction.
