The political report of PDK-S for the month of August 2019
ARK News: The practical arrangements for the implementation of the (Safe Zone) project began its first phase with a length of 88 kilometers between Gire Spi (Till Abyadh) and Sari Kaniye (Ras Al Ain) along the northern border of Syria with the Turkish state, and the second phase would later be carried out from Sari Kaniye to the Tigris River, and the third stage from Gire Spi to the east of the Euphrates River, and the implementation phases may generally require at least three and a half months from the start of the implementation process according to information, and from a depth of five kilometers to fourteen kilometers depending on the border locations.
This process shows to be based on understandings and coordination between the parties involved, including America, Turkey, Russia, the Syrian regime and even SDF, as evidence that the city of Qamishlo and even the airport site is excluded from the operation because of the presence of the regime, which means that the implementation process comes peacefully away from the military invasion - according to the continuing Turkish threats - this means that the Afrin tragedy scenario will not be repeated in these areas, and SDF is removed from the border with Turkey, and replaced by local forces, the existing administration is approved until a new administration is arranged in the east of the Euphrates River, depending on the region's components of Arabs, Kurds, Syrians, etc.
However, concern is still prevalent in most of the components of the region, especially the Kurdish people, as a result of Turkey's insistence on the deportation of a large number of displaced Syrians and housing them in that region, what raises the fear of targeting the change of demographic nature of the region, despite the promises not to force the displaced in Turkey to return, that is, return is how, and each according to the region from which he left, and otherwise be of concern and the rejection of the components of the region for any action that would provoke strife and problems between different affiliations.
On the other hand, the Syrian province of Idlib and its affiliated areas are still under the weight of continuous battles and military campaigns launched by the Syrian regime forces with the support of Russian and Iranian forces, with claiming that the cease-fire process undertaken by the States of Astana-Sochi does not include the war against terrorism, including al-Nusra Front, it seemed as if there was a (Russian-Turkish deal) on Idlib and the safe area mentioned, but the signs of disagreement appeared again between the parties, which means that Turkey may not give up Idlib easily and that the work for a ceasefire there is still ongoing and efforts are continuing in this affair.
In the context of the Syrian crisis, the diplomatic efforts and endeavors are continuing towards a political solution despite the obstacles and complication that the Syrian regime and its allies face, that the international envoy (Geir-Pederson) has resumed his work again in order to complete the composition of the Constitutional Committee, which left only minor issues, according to his saying, this, in conjunction with the move towards the arrangement for the resumption of negotiations between the regime and the negotiating body of the opposition, which means that the tracks of the political solution are going on simultaneously, even slowly.
As for Turkey, it continues to play an active role in Idlib both in terms of the ceasefire and new arrangements between the armed factions, including al-Nusra Front, and it is also striving hard to ensure that the depth of the safe area is not less than 30 kilometers, despite the stability of the opinion of most parties, especially the US side, on the above-mentioned distance (5 to 14 kilometers), it also seeks to move more Syrian refugees to that area, no matter how many, and it does not care that the demographic nature has been disturbed in favor of any of the Syrian parties and components.. On the other hand, there seem to be signs of controversy issues raised by former Turkish Prime Minister Ahmed Cavusoglu with the ruling party (Justice and Development) and its President Erdogan by establishing a Party on the grounds of abandoning the ruling party, and it is interpreted as having a schismatic anti-AKP character, which irritates Erdogan and his party, or could be triggered by further conflict and even unrest within Turkey itself.
AS for Iran, despite the economic sanctions and political pressure from the international community, the most recent decision of the summit of the seven industrialized countries on 26 August 2019 in the French city of Biarritz to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, the international community also stressed that it is not currently contributing to the reconstruction file in Syria so that Iran and Turkey will not benefit from it, in addition to the Israeli and American threats to it. It also directly threatens many countries in the region, including Arab countries such as Saudi Arabia, some Gulf countries and Egypt, as well as Turkey and Pakistan, and it seems that Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, and even Afghanistan are now affiliated with it, it claims that it is today the master of the region, to cover those threats to the suffering of its people from poverty, poverty and want, in complete disregard for the national opposition movement at home and abroad against it, in overlooking the division even within its regime on the Iranian nuclear file and other political files, which means that the fate of the rulers Iran is moving into the unknown at this stage.
As for Iraq, the Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi seems to be moving calmly and responsible towards addressing the outstanding issues in Iraq in general, including the files of the Iraqi provinces in general and the file of the Kurdistan region in particular, and access to the files of Baghdad, including the files of administrative and financial corruption and even political, So on wisdom and the role of specialization (technocrats) and experts, it also seems to be working hard to solve the problems of the Iranian militia, which caused his government more problems and obstruct the national work towards securing the factors of economic development and the provision of decent living for the Iraqi people, by seeking to resolve the political problems between the various conflicting blocs and through dialogue and positive interaction between Various currents and trends by invoking the supreme national interests and the general Iraqi national line.
As for Kurdistan region, after the relative devotion to the leadership of the region of the arrangements of the internal situation, tend at this stage to resolve the problems between Erbil and Baghdad, including the subject of the general budget and the benefits of the Peshmerga and debt owed by Baghdad, estimated at about twenty billion US dollars, as well as oil and gas issues, then to move to the issues of the so-called (disputed) areas, which are cut from Kurdistan, through specialized statistical committees, technicians and experts, which received acceptance and satisfaction with the Government of Mr. Adel Abdul Mahdi, and mutual visits between the two sides in this direction, which suggests the seriousness of the parties towards equitable solutions Desired at this important stage.
As for Syrian Kurdistan, the leadership of the Kurdish National Council in Syria has received more continuous and time-bound invitations at this stage, including the Russian, American and German Foreign Ministry, and it responded every time by sending delegations to attend, the Council also met with a British delegation inside the country, and the meetings were useful and fruitful, where they discussed each time the current political situation and future prospects for a political solution in Syria in general and the situation in some areas in particular, including the ongoing battles in Idlib and the issue of (safe area) and the subject of the new administration to be established in the east of the Euphrates River, the role of the components of the region including the Kurdish people in Syria.
It is worth mentioning that these international Bodies have stressed every time the importance of the rights of national components in general and their fundamental role in the region, including the Kurdish people in particular.
In addition, the council's delegations discussed the situation of Afrin and the suffering of its inhabitants from the ongoing violations and the necessity of finding an equitable solution that leads to calm and stability and works to reduce factors that change the demographic nature of the area by facilitating the displacement of displaced people.
