Kurdish party  backs a federal system in Syria: official to KurdPress

<p dir="LTR">A member of the Kurdish Democratic Party of Syria (al-Party) told KurdPress in an interview that the Syrian central government is unable to hold talks with the Kurds in the north of the country and that the party supports a federal system in the war-torn country, noting that "we call for a decentralized, federated state in Syria so that the rights of all nations are."

Referring to the talks between the Syrian Kurdish National Council ENKS and the Democratic Union Party (PYD), Hussein Mostu, a member of the political office of the party, told KurdPress that the negotiations between the two sides are positive, and the party hopes that the two sides will continue talks in a positive way and all sides could participate in the negotiations.

He continued as saying that there are three main administrative, military and political clauses, and it is necessary to reach a final agreement on them. "The parties have reached agreements, although no agreements have been signed, a good political understanding has been made."

Answering a question whether Syrian Kurdistan parties would hold talks with regional and international powers over the formation of a Kurdish entity or a self-ruling autonomous region, the member of the political office of the Kurdish Democratic Party of Syria (al- Party) said: "There is nothing impossible in politics, and if Kurdish parties and movements stand together, they can put such a goal into action."

In response to the question whether any action has been taken to hold talks with the central government, Hussein Mastu explained that "the central government is not in a good state and has come to its end and it is not powerful in all different areas, but if there is a place and they have a power to make decisions, we will hold negotiations with the central government to take the rights of our people."

He explained that the Kurds want a decentralized federal government in Syria to be recognized so that the rights of all nations could be understood.

The official further noted that the Kurds are under the control of the powers that are not ready to recognize their rights, for example, in Syria our efforts were politically motivated not militarily, but the central government firmly opposed it.

"Since 2013, we have formed a force called the Roj Division in Iraq's Kurdistan Region to go to Syrian Kurdistan to protect our land, but we have not reached an agreement with brothers in the PYD to send the forces to Syria Kurdistan," he ultimately noted.
