The political report of the Kurdistan Democratic Party - Syria, for the month of February 2019 to date

ARK News: It seems that the interest of the concerned parties in the Syrian crisis is moving in this circumstance towards some of the most important issues, and in the forefront of the subject is the safe zone to be set up along the border between Turkey and Syria which has become a controversial and widely among the various actors and trends, especially in the conflicting interests, that is, the creation of this region tomorrow is a reality, and the subject of its management remains the subject of increasing interest.

There is more than one scenario in this regard, Turkey believes that it has the right to management and protection in that it claimed to be the idea or proposed from the beginning, while the components of the region are afraid of repeating Afrin region scenario and increasing the tragedy of the Syrians and their suffering, and Russia and Iran, along with the Syrian regime, see no need for such action, and if it is necessary, it is more useful in its opinion to return to regain control over under the pretext of maintaining the unity of Syrian territory, and this is not accepted by the opposition or the international coalition because that is not considered a safe area, because the goal is essentially the safety from the regime, the American-led International Alliance, or rather the United States, moves in more than one direction and position. It strives to protect the East Euphrates region, in coordination with the concerned parties, especially Russia and Turkey, and Russia tend to agree with the two sides provided that the abandonment of Turkey from Idlib and the evacuation of fighters al-Nusra Front (Tahrir Al Sham) out of it, on the other hand, America believes that the need for Russia to pressure Iran to reduce its role or the withdrawal of militias from Syria, and Israel will not hesitate to raid those Iranian forces deployed, especially in areas near its borders, from here it is understood that the issue of the safe area is still complex as one of the complexities of the successive Syrian crisis, such as the issue of the constitutional committee (the committee for drafting a new constitution for the country) and general elections arrangements and transitional governance issues and issues relating to the Geneva 1 and 2254 international conventions and other relevant international resolutions.

It is worth mentioning that important meetings took place through forums and international conferences recently most notably the Munich Conference (at its fifty-fifth session) in Germany, where he stressed the fight against terrorism and the role of Iran in the tension of world security, especially the security of the Middle East as a source of terrorism, and to intervene in the affairs of the countries of the region, as well as the most important conference (Warsaw, capital of Poland), which dealt with many of the key issues in the region and in the presence of large Arab communities alongside the Israelis, including the Syrian crisis and the Palestinian issue and other Middle East crises, and raising the subject of the nuclear agreement with Iran, where the European countries agreed to recognize Iran's negative behavior, but did not agree to withdraw from the nuclear agreement, which sparked controversy among European countries and America in this regard, and it seems that America is serious in a number of issues in the region, including the establishment of the safe area in accordance with the parties concerned, and the siege of Iran internationally and regionally and on more than economic, political, social, and returning of Turkey to its strategic location, and work on the implementation of its plans and programs in the region.

Turkey is increasingly under pressure from both the establishment of the above-mentioned safe zone, the arrangements required in the next stage for the Syrian crisis in general, and its relations with Iran and Russia via Astana and Sochi. This was manifested in its recent threats to Turkey, as well as the issue of the purchase of the S-400 missiles from Russia, which led to the increasing embarrassment of Turkey, and put it in front of two options, either to leave the temporary interim ally (Russia) or to sever the relationship with the strategic ally (America) and both loss to Turkey and its foreign policy and vital interests , but it remains so far in its policy of seeking to reconcile the two sides as much as possible.

As for Iran which is concerned about the outcomes of the conferences in Munich and Warsaw, as it is facing international challenges by characterizing it as a source of terrorism and a source of concern for many countries in the Middle East. It threatens international security and stability, not to mention the suffering of the economic sanctions imposed by America, and the internal situation invariably perpetuated by the youth movements continued to demonstrate and sit in various cities and towns of Iran, it is worth mentioning that there are signs of disagreement within the house of the regime itself, manifested in the resignation of Foreign Minister Mohammed Jawad Zarif, even though it took place in the hesitation, which means (there is fire under the ashes), as well as the dispute between the two sides of the equation in the system of mullahs since the presidential elections And so far, in the sense that the Iranian regime is plagued by continuous crises that lead to various deaths.

As for Iraq, is still suffering many problems and issues growing by the conflict blocs and political forces among them, which seeks to disrupt or failure of the government of Adel Abdul Mahdi, especially as different issues are raised from time to time, amid ongoing security unrest, gross violations and terrorist practices committed by various military factions belonging to Iran, those that are still paid by the Iraqi government, to the extent that Iraq may be subjected to international accountability in this regard, in which the entire situation is precarious, which requires rapid processing in all respects , and at the forefront of which is the relentless and urgent efforts to withdraw the hand of the Iranian regime from Iraq, and begin to dissolve the loyal militia by withdrawing the weapons and cutting the salaries and allocations, thus preventing their presence under any pretexts, in taking such practical steps towards Iran is the stability of the security situation in Ira

As for the Kurdistan Region, the leadership, led by the struggling President Masoud Barzani, seeks day after day to strengthen the order of the internal situation, manifested in the agreement between the two main parties - the Kurdistan Democratic Party and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, which forms part of the strategic agreement between the two sides, where ended the dispute on various levels, both between Erbil and Baghdad, or between the two sides in the region and his government, including the subject of Kirkuk, as well as the three presidencies (parliament, government, presidency of the region), which means that the situation in the Kurdistan region has taken its path towards greater understanding and stability, and promising a promising future for the people of Kurdistan in general its ethnic and sectarian components and political affiliations.

In Kurdistan of Syria, our Kurdish people and their national political forces continue to follow with great concern the situation of the inhabitants of Afrin, a city and region, and its constant suffering from violations that violate the most basic human and cultural values which are committed by most of the armed factions that control with the grip of brutal repression of looting and theft and robbery of the property of citizens and even homes and farms, and the practice of vandalism and the uprooting of fruit trees especially olive trees without moral deterrent or conscience, all of which are before the eyes of the international community, human rights organizations and civil society institutions, moreover, the national political parties have spared no effort to raise the voices and suffering of our people there to the international forums and will continue to pursue their activities in this regard until they return to their past to live in peace and security.

As for the Democratic Union Party (PYD), despite its repeated calls to unite the Kurdish class and the unity of the political position, but in practice continues to exercise its oppressive policy towards our Kurdish people and its National Council, which reveals more ill-intentioned in the work and deal with the Kurdish issue in Syria, and if it was once released from kidnapping, it is going to further abduction here and there, not to mention its deceptive practices in the situation of abductees and detainees, it denies that many of them are in its cells, and this is in spite of the important political circumstances affecting Syria in general and the cause of our people in particular. It does not care, and all its calls and efforts for rapprochement are nonsense, which means that it does not have a cornerstone of its political decision, only the international side can pressure it to bow in this direction, and to give it up forever.

We are in the Kurdistan Democratic Party - Syria, and through the Kurdish National Council, we move forward in the exercise of tasks and activities at various levels of internal and external, and we also expressed full readiness to work together across the appropriate circumstances and climates, in order to prepare for the next phase and to address the tasks and responsibilities that lie with the Kurdish people and their political movement through understanding between all the national political parties and on the basis of mutual respect and serious practical interaction that cares for the interests of our people and its justice cause, and work together nationally to build the future Syria a federal state with a democratic parliamentary system of pluralism works with a modern constitution recognizes and fulfills the aspirations and objectives of all components in accordance with international covenants and conventions.
