On Wednesday, September 7th, the Relations Bureau of the Syrian Democratic Council in Aleppo Center held a dialogue seminar in Al-Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhood to discuss the file of rapprochement between the Syrian government and the Turkish government, attended by a group of intellectuals and representatives of political parties.
During the main theme of the seminar, a member of the Relations Bureau of the Syrian Democratic Council, Ahmed Al-Laban, spoke about the rapprochement between the Turkish and Syrian governments, and pointed out this initiative that it suggests Turkey’s confusion in its policies, and that all its strategies have failed in Syria.
“Turkey has gave up the Syrian opposition, dealt with it on the basis of the opposition’s investment, and exploited the Syrian refugees’ file for its own interests,” Ahmed said.
“The thought; methodology and organization of the Autonomous Administration project in northern and eastern Syria has had a great impact on the consolidation and democratization of Syrian society in those areas and its openness to the concepts of pluralism, participation and non-exclusion of the others,” Ahmed continued his talk.
He added that the best resolution to bring Syria to safety is the intra-Syrian dialogue through the reunification of the Syrian National Democratic Opposition during the meetings held by the Syrian Democratic Council at home and abroad with the national opposition powers.
In this context, the attendees discussed through their participations the seriousness of the rapprochement, its causes, the repercussions of this rapprochement on the region and the possibilities available, stressing the importance of maintaining the format and basis of the democratic project in the region.
The attendees also pointed out during their participations that Turkey is afraid of the intra-Syrian resolution, considering this rapprochement, if it takes place, the central system will be re-produced, and they stressed that decentralization, democracy and dialogue are the start for the resolution in Syria.
