Syrian Kurds agree with government to start political negotiations

<p style="text-align:left">A delegation of Syrian Kurdish party representatives has met with the Syrian government and agreed to start political negotiations, Mustafa Meşayih from the Syrian Kurdish Democratic Union Party (Yekiti), told pro-Kurdish news site Rudaw.

The delegation, including parties under the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces&rsquo; (SDF) political wing Syrian Democratic Council, met with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad&rsquo;s government officials in Hmeimim and Damascus, with Russia acting as an intermediary, Rudaw said.
&ldquo;After critiques, exchange of views and suggestions, both parties have stressed their readiness for dialogue,&rdquo; Meşayih was quoted by Rudaw as saying.
Joint constitutions on the matters of Syria&rsquo;s constitution, administration, education, military, and oil resources will be established, Meşayih said, with participation from ministry officials from the Syrian government.
Russia is serious about acting as a guarantor for the political process, and Syrian Kurds are ready for dialogue if the government is serious as well, Meşayih said.
Following U.S. troops&rsquo; withdrawal from northeast Syria and Turkey&rsquo;s consequent military incursion into the Kurdish-held region in October last year, Syrian Kurds had accelerated efforts to reconcile with Assad&rsquo;s government, to limited effect.
