At a pivotal moment in Syria’s history, an agreement was signed between the Commander-in-Chief of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), Mazloum Abdi, and President Ahmed al-Sharaa. This step was taken with a spirit of national responsibility. The agreement marks a fundamental phase toward building a new Syria. It seeks to establish a democratic and pluralistic state that respects the rights of all its Syrian components. This state will be founded on a constitution that reflects the will of Syrians, both men and women. Additionally, the agreement lays the foundation for a modern republic that aligns with the aspirations of the Syrian people.
This agreement underscores the urgent need for a new stage in Syria, which must be based on national partnership, mutual recognition, and political justice. In this stage, all Syrians, without exception, will have the right to determine their destiny. This will be achieved through genuine political participation that ensures equality, dignity, and fundamental freedoms.
The SDC commends this agreement as a step toward a political solution. It emphasizes that the success of this agreement depends on the commitment of all parties. They must adhere to the spirit of genuine change. They must also work toward building a modern democratic state that must respect the will of its people and fulfill their aspirations. This state should also become a part of the free world, which believes in justice and human rights.
Syria is for all Syrians. It should be a democratic, pluralistic, and decentralized state, one that honors the sacrifices made by its people. Such a state would also take its rightful place among nations, both in terms of civilization and humanitarian values.
