According to Kurdpress, Masrour Barzani, the Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, emphasized the need to find a "stable solution" for the Kurdish issue in Syria, and asked the authorities of this country to explicitly recognize the rights of the Kurds in the new Syrian constitution. These statements were made following the mediation of the Kurdistan region to end the recent conflicts in northeastern Syria.

In an interview with The National newspaper in Dubai, Barzani said: "We are witnessing a relative reduction in tension, but the crisis is not over." I hope all actors act with wisdom, calmness and open mind and give themselves enough time to reach a lasting solution to the problems through dialogue.

Referring to the plural structure of Syria, he added: "Syria is not a homogeneous country. Different tribes, religions and communities live there, and for the country's stability, it is essential that Damascus takes into account the concerns of all these groups and makes them feel that they are part of the new Syria.

The Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Region emphasized that the solution of the Kurdish issue should go beyond the level of verbal agreements and be established in the form of legal and legal arrangements. According to him, "the best path is to clearly include the rights of the Kurds in the Syrian constitution in order to form a legal and stable relationship.

The role of Kurdistan region in mediation

Referring to the diplomatic efforts of recent weeks, Barzani said: The Kurdistan Region, along with Masoud Barzani and Nechirvan Barzani, has played an active role in mediating between the Damascus government, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and the United States.

"We were in direct contact with Damascus, Qamishlo, the United States, France, and several other countries that were involved in the mediation and de-escalation process," he said. According to Barzani, these efforts have included multiple trips to Erbil by SDF Commander Mazloum Abdi and US Ambassador Tom Barak, as well as phone calls between Kurdish leaders and Syrian President Ahmed al-Shora.

Changing the approach of Erbil towards Qasd

The prime minister of the Kurdistan Region acknowledged that Erbil's relations with the SDF have been cautious in the past, especially due to the association of these forces with the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). However, recent developments have changed the climate approach.

"Ultimately we are Kurds," he said. "We may have political differences, but when the Kurds are under pressure and oppression, we cannot be indifferent." Barzani stressed that persecution and crimes against Kurds, especially Kurdish women, "is unacceptable not only for Kurds, but from a human perspective.

Reform programs and economic relations

He also emphasized the expansion of economic relations with the Arab countries of the Persian Gulf, especially the United Arab Emirates.

Barzani said that Emirati companies are now active in the region's energy, agriculture and tourism sectors and added: "Kurdistan's climate has proven itself as an island of stability in an unstable region in the past decades; It is a matter of strategic importance for the countries of the region.
