Politicians: The Kurdish National Council brought the Kurdish issue in Syria to international forums

ARK News…. The Kurdish National Council in Syria held a political seminar on the occasion of the twelfth anniversary of its founding at the office of the Kurdistan Democratic Party - Syria in the city of Qamishlo in Syrian Kurdistan, Thursday, October 26, 2023.

During the seminar, in a statement to ARK, Nashat Zaza, head of the local councils of the Kurdish National Council, said: “The Kurdish National Council is a great gain for the Kurdish people in Syria because it was able to bring the Kurdish issue out from between four walls and deliver it to international forums. We in the Kurdish National Council pledge to our people to continue our struggle to achieve legitimate rights, and in this regard, it is necessary to point out President Masoud Barzani’s support and assistance to the Council in its struggle to achieve the legitimate rights of the Kurdish people.”

In this context, Hassan Ramzi, head of the information office of the Kurdish National Council, said: “In light of the crisis that Syria is experiencing, the establishment of the council was a necessity and a comprehensive framework for the authentic Kurdish movement, which includes political parties, civil organizations, and independents, and works to achieve the legitimate national rights of the Kurdish people, within 12 years.” The Council was a political umbrella for the Kurdish people at the international level and had representatives in the Syrian Negotiating Commission and the Constitutional Committee.

For his part, Akram Hussein, a member of the Council’s General Secretariat, confirmed that 12 years after the Council’s founding, harassment, arrest of Council members, and burning of its offices will not be able to stop the Council’s struggle for the Kurdish cause, and it will continue its work for a federal Syria in which everyone’s rights are protected.

The Kurdish National Council in Syria was established on October 26, 2011, in the city of Qamishlo in Syrian Kurdistan. It includes political parties and frameworks, in addition to independents and representatives of youth, women, and Yezidi Kurds.
