The Presidential Council of the Syrian Democratic Council evaluated the developments and movements taking place on the Syrian issue and the various initiatives being put forward both at the internal level in Syria and by those involved in the Syrian file.
The meeting members reiterated the council’s position on Arab normalization with the authority in Damascus, stressing the importance of directing efforts to find sustainable resolutions based on the UN Resolution 2254.
The Co-chairwoman of the Syrian Democratic Council, Amina Omar, reviewed the Political Report during the meeting, which included the majority of members of the Presidential Council, at the council hall in the center of the city of Al-Hasakah.
The meeting discussed international and regional developments, specifically those whose results are reflected on the Syrian file, and the meeting focused on the Arab approach regarding normalization with the authority in Damascus, and the need for the Arab role to contribute for a meaningful political resolution for the Syrian crisis in order to achieve the legitimate aspirations of the Syrian people for change.
In the same context, the meeting members discussed the results of the Turkish elections and their repercussions on the Syrian file, in light of the Turkish role that hinders the path of the intra-Syrian resolution, the investment of both the ruling party and the Turkish opposition to the issue of Syrian refugees in Turkey as an electoral card and the politicization of the Just Syrian issue, and the ruling coalition’s insistence on weakening Syrians by demographic change projects in the north of Syria and Turkey’s intention to settle a million refugees.
The political components, community events and legal figures of the “presidential council” pointed out the seriousness of the nationalist and racist votes that played a decisive role on the Turkish elections, which will affect the Syrian file and Syrian refugees, calling on the Syrian parties to engage in a national dialogue that establishes a common vision in facing the challenges facing Syrians.
The meeting also touched upon the real dangers that the terrorism of the “ISIS” organization is still the most prominent forms through the organization’s attempts to regain its strength and organize cells in various regions of Syria and in the region of Kurdistan of Iraq, and the need to continue efforts to address the results of the war on terrorism, camps that include members and families of the ISIS and the trial of its members involved in the blood shedding of Syrian people.
During the audience’s review of the initiatives that were recently presented at the Jeddah and Amman meetings, as well as the initiative presented by the Autonomous Administration of northeastern Syria, the meeting members believed the importance of these initiatives to break the deadlock and the unresolved situation on the Syrian file amid the tragedy and suffering that Syrians are living inside the country due to the continuous collapse of the Syrian economy and the poverty of most segments of the Syrian people, as well as the spread of extremism, crimes and corruption, which greatly affected the cohesion of Syrian society.
The meeting discussed a number of activities of the Syrian Democratic Council inside and outside Syria, including workshops, dialogue seminars, meetings with Syrian parties and figures within the intra-Syrian dialogue process, and finding national and balanced consensus facing the upcoming entitlements.
The meeting confirmed the continuation of work and meetings between “the SDC” on the one hand and the Democratic powers and figures on the other hand, and in particular, it was stressed the need to hold a conference of Democratic powers and figures that will contribute to find a real resolution for the Syrian crisis.
The meeting continued its work by discussing organizational issues and membership applications submitted by parties and figures to join the Syrian Democratic Council, and also adopted a number of organizational decisions that would develop the national political work.
