Ilham Ahmed: There is an intention by Russia to support a dialogue between the Autonomous Administration and the government… and the Syrian situation has reached a stage where it is difficult to swap areas
The Chairperson of the Commission of the Syrian Democratic Council, Ilham Ahmed, spoke in a lengthy dialogue on Ronahi TV about the prospects for dialogue between the Autonomous Administration and the Syrian government, and the Turkish threats against northern and eastern Syria.
Dialogue with the Syrian government
In response to a question, what did the Russians ask of the Syrian Democratic Council during the last visit to Moscow, Ilham Ahmed said that “the discussion was about dialogue with the Syrian government and how Russia can play the role of a guarantor. The government has always played a negative role in the development of dialogue, we did not find any signs of The Syrian government’s entry into a serious political process or a serious political dialogue, whether with regard to the regions of northeastern Syria or the crisis in Syria.”
Regarding the position of the United States on the dialogue between the Autonomous Administration and the Syrian government, “Ahmed” stressed that they seek the United States to have a role in developing this dialogue and to pressure the Russians and the government to accept the dialogue or to enter into a serious political process.
The US administration is aware of the form and mechanism of communication with the government, and they are aware of all the meetings that took place, and this does not mean that the Americans are managing this process.
Dialogue with Turkey
As for the dialogue with Turkey, Elham Ahmed said that ending the presence of Turkish forces from the areas they control is one of our priorities, although this is through dialogue. We are open to dialogue, to end this and open the way for the return of Syrians and Kurds to their original homes.
The American and Russian role
And Ilham Ahmed continued, the Syrian situation has reached a stage where it is difficult to swap areas. The situation can no longer tolerate such agreements. It is necessary to search for radical solutions regarding the solution in Syria. Partial solutions do not lead to a comprehensive solution, and we have seen that the Russians have been interested until now in how to impose government control over the entire Syrian geography, especially in the areas that fall under the control of the factions, and this is what we see in Idlib in the recent period, so we believe that it is necessary to search for radical solutions Regarding the Syrian file.
