Salih Muslim: We will never accept a return to a fully centralised system in Syria
Salih Muslim, a member of the Presidency Board of the Kurdistan Democratic Union Party (PYD), underlined the ongoing fight against terrorism, the challenges facing West Kurdistan (north and east Syria) in its dealings with the Damascus government, and the importance of decentralisation. He also highlighted the decisive role of regional and international actors in resolving the Kurdish question.
In an exclusive interview with Kurdistani Nwe, Muslim said: “The whole world knows that we have been on the frontlines of the fight against terrorism since 2012. After liberating West Kurdistan from the forces of the former Syrian regime, we began the war on terror — a war that continues to this day.”
Referring to the talks with Damascus, Muslim said: “We want to resolve our differences with the Damascus government peacefully, because war is not a solution and we do not seek the division of Syria. The Kurdish question is an international issue that must be resolved through international efforts. International forces also want peace in the Middle East because no one emerges victorious from war. But Damascus seeks an unfair peace, while we want a fair peace — without which lasting peace in Syria will remain elusive.”
He further stated: “An oppressive and dictatorial state is not the solution. The only viable path for West Kurdistan is democracy. The best system for our region is decentralisation, which can take various forms, including autonomy, regional governance, federalism, or even confederation.
“We will never accept a return to a fully centralised system in Syria, nor the conditions that existed before 2011,” he said. “If the new Syrian government refuses to recognise decentralisation, we will be forced to demand independence. The dissolution of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) is unacceptable. Our region must remain protected by our own forces — a principle for which the SDF was established.”
Commenting on the peace process in Turkey, Muslim said: “Turkey cannot demand peace inside its country and at the same time threaten the Kurds in West Kurdistan, so the Turkish government is forced to change its position on this issue. We Kurds have not been hostile to Turkey, we have no problems with Turkey, we have taken up arms to demand our rights in Syria. Turkey must also put pressure on the Damascus government to resolve the Kurdish issue.”
On the relations between Kurds across the four parts of Kurdistan, Salih Muslim stated: “The Kurdish people must remain united across all four parts of Kurdistan. Relations between West Kurdistan and South Kurdistan are particularly close, especially with the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan. In 2014, when Peshmerga forces moved to Kobanê, the Kurdish people as a whole welcomed them with great joy. I hope the spirit of unity and brotherhood will continue to guide us, with the Kurdish people defending their rights through politics and diplomacy.”
He added: “The PYD and the PUK (Patriotic Union of Kurdistan) maintain a strategic relationship. Since the establishment of the PYD, the PUK has provided consistent support, and this partnership can be further expanded. The PUK has backed West Kurdistan in all its achievements, including within the framework of the international coalition against ISIS.”
Bahçeli threatens attack on Northern and Eastern Syria
MHP (Nationalist Movement Party) Chairperson Devlet Bahçeli issued a written statement regarding the process carried out to resolve the Kurdish question and the ongoing negotiations in Syria.
Arguing that the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and the YPG are also addressees of the PKK and of Öcalan’s call, and therefore cannot be exempt from decisions on dissolution and disarmament, Bahçeli said that the statement made on 10 July by U.S. Ambassador to Ankara and Special Envoy for Syria, Tom Barrack ("One nation, one people, one army, one Syria") was appropriate. However, he described Barrack’s 30 August remark ("There is now another organization not related to the PKK, namely the SDF and the YPG") as equally "problematic."
Referring again to the 10 March agreement between the SDF and the Syrian Interim Government within the framework of Syria’s reconstruction, Bahçeli reiterated his threat of an attack on North and East Syria.
Bahçeli said: "The SDF and YPG must comply fully and to the letter with the memorandum of understanding they signed with the Syrian administration on 10 March; otherwise, it must be known to all that a military intervention, through the joint will of Ankara and Damascus, will become inevitable."
Öcalan: Rojava is my red line
Pervin Buldan, a member of the DEM Party’s Imralı Delegation, spoke on JINTV about the Peace and Democratic Society process and the most recent meeting with Öcalan.
<Öcalan: Rojava is our red line
Pervin Buldan said that Abdullah Öcalan made evaluations about Northern and Eastern Syria and developments in Syria. Buldan explained that Öcalan discussed these issues with the state delegation, adding:"With us, with the DEM delegation, he only spoke about Turkish politics, but I know he said this several times: ‘Syria and Rojava are my red line. For me, that place is different.’ He made this point about Syria a few times. Beyond that, however, I want to stress that he did not make evaluations with us regarding Syria and Rojava. He discussed this mainly with the state delegation, debated the issue there, and even said that if the opportunity and circumstances arose, he considered it important to establish communication with them as well. Yes, he emphasized several times that communication with Rojava is important. He expressed that he wanted to talk with them, debate with them, and consider together how a path should be followed and what decision should be taken. This has not yet happened, but if progress is made in the future and such an opportunity is created, perhaps through meetings and contacts with officials in Rojava, we believe the issue will be resolved more easily."
Pervin Buldan also drew attention to the government’s statements about Northern and Eastern Syria, commenting: "Turkey, in this sense, on the issue of Rojava and Syria, needs to stand with the Kurdish people. Excluding the Kurds there, launching an operation against them, or undoing the achievements of the Kurdish people brings no benefit to Turkey, and the Kurds in Turkey will not accept it either. This must be understood clearly, and I believe there is a need to think more rationally and take correct decisions in order to resolve the matter through the right path and method.
Therefore, the developments in Syria, agreements, negotiations with the Damascus government, etc., are being closely monitored by Turkey as well. But the Kurds are extremely sensitive on this issue. Rojava is the greatest sensitivity of the Kurdish people.
So, no matter how many steps we take toward democratization in Turkey, even the smallest loss in Rojava, or an operation there, would cause great devastation among the Kurdish people. Such an approach would not be accepted. No one would accept it. Above all, Mr. Öcalan would not accept it.
I believe that if Turkey approaches this issue with an understanding that stands by the Kurdish people, respects their achievements, and recognizes their right to live in every region with their own gains, their own language, identity, and culture, and seeks to resolve this on a democratic, legal, and constitutional basis, then Turkey itself will be the one to gain. This way, not from a place of loss or causing loss, but from a place of winning and helping others win, a common understanding and consensus can indeed resolve this issue."
<Three key concepts
Pervin Buldan said that Öcalan emphasized three key concepts: "We can think of the issues of democratic society, peace, and integration as a single package. Placing them separately or disconnected from one another would be a mistake, it would be wrong. Mr. Öcalan stressed the importance of taking rapid, synchronized steps that can interweave all of these and of ensuring that integration finally becomes a reality.
Let me put it this way: a commission has now been formed. This commission has started its work, and its actual purpose is to pass laws as quickly as possible. Because without integration laws, nothing can be implemented. Of course, we can talk about peace, we can talk about democratization, we can certainly discuss the injustices and lawlessness in Turkey and how new laws might be passed to address them. But integration is something very different.
Today, there are thousands of people in the mountains with weapons in their hands. Yes, symbolically a dissolution ceremony took place. The PKK declared its disbandment. But there are still armed people. Now, these armed individuals must both lay down their weapons and return to Turkey, and the barriers preventing them from participating in democratic politics must be removed. This can only become a reality through the laws that will emerge from the commission."
Briefing: PKK leader [Abdullah Ocalan] calls Syria his 'red line' as Turkey ramps up pressure (BBC Monitoring)
> • Reported remarks by the jailed PKK leader, in which he described SDF-controlled parts of northern Syria as his "red line", have raised eyebrows in Turkey
< • A pro-Kurdish party MP quoted Abdullah Ocalan as underlining the importance of the de facto autonomous administration in north-eastern Syria
> • One pundit said Ocalan's remarks show his support for Syrian Kurdish forces "remaining armed" and for Syria's decentralisation, questioning the potential impact on Turkey's ongoing PKK peace bid

Full story
Reported remarks by the jailed leader of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), in which he described Kurdish-controlled parts of northern Syria as his "red line", have drawn attention in the Turkish media amid Ankara's continued push for Syrian Kurdish forces to disarm.
Abdullah Ocalan underlined during recent talks with a pro-Kurdish opposition Peoples' Equality and Democracy Party (DEM Party) delegation that "Syria and Rojava are my red line," DEM MP Pervin Buldan told pro-Kurdish Jin TV on 2 September.
She said Ocalan told the DEM Party delegation that he discussed the issue with Turkish officials and he wants to establish communication with the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to "discuss what path should be taken on this issue".
Ankara sees the SDF as linked to the PKK and has called on the group to disarm and integrate into the Syrian army since Bashar al-Assad's fall.
Buldan's comments came after Turkish officials reiterated criticism of calls for Syria's decentralisation, apparently in response to Syrian Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD) spokesman Salih Muslim's remarks that they "may have to demand independence" if the country does not decentralise.
Ankara has in recent days reiterated warnings about a potential military operation the SDF-linked elements if they do not integrate with Damascus.
Government-ally Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) leader Devlet Bahceli on 2 September accused the SDF of making "new impositions" and presenting "lists of demands, ranging from autonomy to independence".
Bahceli called on the group to comply with a March agreement to integrate into the Syrian army, warning that "otherwise… a military intervention, with the joint will of Ankara and Damascus, would be inevitable".
A Turkish Defence Ministry spokesperson said on 4 September that the SDF must integrate into Syria's military and refrain from "any actions or statements that would harm Syria's political unity and territorial integrity".
Impact on peace bid?
Pundits discussed the latest remarks in the context of their potential impact on Turkey's push to end the PKK's 40-year armed insurgency.
"To tell any community in the region, including the Kurds, to dissolve within a structure that does not guarantee its own security, and whose democratic character has not yet been clarified… is unethical and beyond the bounds of conscience," DEM Party co-chair Tuncer Bakirhan said on 3 September, responding to Bahceli's remarks.
Conservative opposition Karar newspaper columnist Taha Akyol wrote on 4 September that Ocalan's remarks show his "full support to the [SDF] remaining armed" and for "decentralisation".
"In this situation, how will the [peace] process unfold domestically?" Akyol said.
Posting on X, former ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) MP Orhan Miroglu warned that increasingly hawkish signals from Ankara risk damaging the PKK peace bid.
He suggested that Turkish officials should look more favourably on Kurdish demands for "decentralisation", instead of threatening a new military intervention.
"I personally do not want to think about or imagine the consequences of a military operation in which Syria and Turkey collaborate militarily to dismantle the SDF. A new conflict process could [turn] the hopes of 50 million Kurds against the states they are in, as well as their will to live together," Miroglu posted.
Autonomous Administration and Transitional Government officials meet in Aleppo
The Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (DAANES), Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) commanders, and Syrian Interim Government officials met in Aleppo yesterday evening.
The meeting discussed the implementation of the previously signed agreement regarding the neighborhoods of Sheikh Maqsood and Ashrafiyah and the reduction of rising tensions in the region.
The parties agreed that steps must be taken to implement the 14-article agreement signed on April 1.
The meeting also discussed the mechanism for establishing joint committees to monitor the implementation of the agreement.
The parties agreed that the Transitional Government would halt the military buildup and escalation in the region, end the possibility of tension and conflict, and hold regular meetings between the relevant committees.
Demonstration for the freedom of Abdullah Öcalan in Kobanê
On Sunday, several thousand people took part in a protest march in the northern Syrian city of Kobanê, demanding the freedom of Kurdish leader Abdullah Öcalan. The demonstration was organized by the women's movement Kongra Star under the slogan: “With the call for peace and democratic society, we will achieve leader Öcalan's freedom.”
In addition to residents from various locations in the Euphrates Canton, representatives of the Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (DAANES), civil society organizations, and women's associations also participated in the rally.
The march began at Free Woman Square and proceeded through central streets to Peace Square, where a closing rally was held. During the demonstration, portraits of Abdullah Öcalan were carried and slogans such as “Bê Serok jiyan nabe” (No life without the chairman) and “Dem dema azadiya Rêber Apo ye” (Now is the time of freedom for leader Öcalan) were chanted.
At the closing rally, Xûnav Xelîl, member of the Kongra-Star Coordination in the Euphrates Canton, called for broad support for the demands for Öcalan’s release. “Abdullah Öcalan has been in resistance on the Turkish prison island of Imrali for 26 years. We must intensify our efforts for his physical freedom. As long as our chairman is not free, we cannot consider ourselves free either,” said Xelîl.

>additional corroboration that israel is arming and funding the druze armed groups>confirmation that syria has withdrawn heavy weapons from the southAl Parti: Without resolving the situation in Afrin and Serê Kaniyê, dialogue with Damascus will remain incomplete
News Center (K24) – The Kurdish Democratic Party in Syria (Al Partî) emphasizes that any dialogue between the Kurdish political movement and the Damascus government will remain limited and meaningless unless the fate of Afrin, Serê Kaniyê and Girê Spî is put on the main agenda.
Al Parti noted in his statement that these cities have not only been occupied, but have also been subjected to one of the most extensive demographic change and forced displacement operations in modern Syrian history.
He also drew attention to the tragic situation of the people of the region, saying: "The children of these regions today live in camps in the Raqqa, Hasakah and Qamishli regions or in neighboring countries, while the original Kurdish residents have been displaced and replaced by Arab residents, and their land and identity have become hostages in the hands of the occupation."
According to Al Parti, the return of Afrin, Serê Kaniyê and Girê Spî to their original people is not only a geographical issue, but also "a question of rights, existence and identity." The statement said: "This return is the measure of the validity of any future political agreement and at the same time a serious test of commitment to the slogan of 'a federal, pluralistic and democratic Syria.'"
The statement also noted that some parties may try to postpone this file under the pretext of "regional balances" or "international agreements", but experience has shown that people's problems cannot be solved by ignoring them and rights do not disappear over time.
At the end of the statement, Al Parti stated that Afrin, Serê Kaniyê and Girê Spî are "an open wound in the body of the Kurds and Syria", but despite this, this issue is not directly on the negotiating table yet. It was stated that the current dialogue between the Kurdish political forces and Damascus focuses more on constitutional and security issues of the Autonomous Administration regions, while the file of the occupied territories is left to regional and international balances.
https://archive.ph/KGB57The Israeli proposal to the STG consists of:
>an extension of the buffer zone outlined in the 1974 agreement by 2km into Syrian territory>a demilitarised zone extending from the southwest of damascus into daraa, divided into three different sub-zones of varying demilitarisation from the closest to the israeli side to the farthest>a no-fly zone over said DMZ>israel keeping the outpost on mt. hermonAll in exchange for Israel simply handing back most of the territory it has acquired since 8th of December (except Mt. Hermon).
Does al-Sharaa represent the people of Syria?
After the end of Ba’ath rule in Syria, nothing really changed in the conditions of the people. The HTS, which replaced the Ba’ath, set out to build a system even more backward than the one-party Ba’ath system. They claimed they would rebuild the state, but every step they took was unilateral. They excluded all parties, political actors, and social groups other than themselves from the process. The current government was entirely appointed by HTS. Months have passed since the change of power, and what marked this process were the massacres committed by HTS. Instead of stopping and taking measures after the massacre of Alawites, they applied similar policies against the Druze.
Western powers recognized Ahmed al-Sharaa as the President of Syria and accepted the administration he established. Although they had concerns and reservations, they declared that they would continue with HTS, claiming there was no alternative. However, instead of considering the situation of the people, they prioritized their own interests and focused on building political balances.
HTS claims it is protecting Syria’s unity. Yet the strongest unities are built on voluntarism and the consent of the people. HTS, however, pursues this through coercion, forcing everyone into submission, and establishing its dominance. Thus, instead of unity, it deepens anxiety, fear, and mistrust.
The Druze are now much more distant from Damascus than before. The Alawites live in an environment of deep insecurity and fear. The Autonomous Regions were ready to participate in building a democratic Syria and to share their democratic experiences, but they too were excluded. Damascus, echoing Turkish rhetoric, continued to label and target the peoples of these regions as “separatists.” Countries such as the US and France intervened as mediators to reconcile the sides, but these initiatives were blocked by Turkey. HTS, rather than uniting the Syrian people and seeking compromise with different forces, insisted on imposing itself and pursuing its own path.
It was announced that Ahmed al-Sharaa will participate in the UN General Assembly. He will speak there on behalf of the Syrian state. Yet little attention is paid to what kind of Syria stands behind him. To present his administration as legitimate, he will raise the topic of elections and try to market himself by saying, “We held elections, our situation is normal like other states.” But in reality, no such election exists.
Nowhere in the world are elections held like this; perhaps such practices existed at the beginning of the last century, but not today. To call people “members of parliament” while appointing one-third of them directly—these are not representatives of the people but al-Sharaa’s officials. The rest are not elected by the people either; they are chosen by commissions appointed by HTS. (And it is not even certain such a dubious election will actually take place.) Political parties and different organizations in Syria cannot participate in the elections. There is no election law or competition. To call this an “election” is impossible. Yet the UN, with Resolution 2254, had already called for an election and political solution in Syria with the participation of all parties. Now that resolution is being ignored.
As can be seen, Syria has not recovered nor achieved unity. HTS has neither the mentality nor the practice for this. It has not opposed or acted against Turkey’s military presence in Syria or its free intervention in Syrian internal affairs. By suppressing the Druze, it forced them to flee to Israel. It also tries to subjugate the Autonomous Region, which constitutes an important part of Syria, through pressure, and if that fails, prepares to attack. On this matter, it works in full alignment with Turkey.
The Autonomous Administration has kept its doors open to all talks and efforts for unity and a solution for Syria. It has not rejected any proposal and has always been ready to take practical steps. Yet the interim government in Damascus has not taken any concrete steps to date. Instead, it has blamed the Autonomous Administration, claiming it failed to comply with the March 10 Agreement.
Yet the agreement includes provisions for the establishment of a negotiation committee and for the parties to reach consensus on unification. If the Autonomous Region is simply to hand over its military, administrative, and political structures to HTS, then what need is there for an agreement or for negotiation committees? Moreover, the agreement includes clauses guaranteeing Kurdish rights in the constitution. Ahmed al-Sharaa himself signed this. But in the interim constitution they later announced, no such articles or guarantees were included.
Now they are spreading propaganda to the world, saying “The SDF and the Autonomous Administration are not complying with the agreement.” It is clear, then, that the signature they gave was nothing more than a ploy to buy time and deceive.
Al-Sharaa declares: “The SDF does not represent all Kurds.” Then one must ask: does al-Sharaa represent all the people of Syria? If a free election were held now, what percentage of the vote would he receive? It is certain that the SDF represents the people to a much greater extent than al-Sharaa.
This is not the language of solution or reconciliation. Exclusion and marginalization do not serve resolution. The peoples of Syria want to live together in a peaceful and democratic environment. The solution lies not in war and exclusion, but in unity.

>A number of diplomats from the US mission to Syria have been abruptly dismissed by the US envoy to the country, Reuters reported on 18 September, citing sources familiar with the matter.
>The diplomats were part of the “Regional Syria – De Facto Mission” working from Istanbul. The US closed its embassy in Syria in 2012 amid Washington and Tel Aviv's covert war to topple the government of former Syrian president Bashar al-Assad.
>The sources, including two western diplomats, “said the moves were sudden, involuntary, and came toward the end of last week,” the news agency wrote.
>Tom Barrack, the US special envoy to Syria, was appointed in May and is a long-time friend of US President Donald Trump.
>US officials have welcomed Syria's new President Ahmad al-Sharaa since he assumed power in December, toppling Assad. Sharaa is a former Al-Qaeda and Islamic State commander known for dispatching suicide and car bombs to kill Syrian, Lebanese, and Iraqi civilians.
>Barrack has reportedly urged the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to relinquish areas of north and east Syria under their control and integrate the Kurdish and Arab fighters under their command into Syrian security forces commanded by Sharaa.
>One the sources told Reuters the diplomats were dismissed in part by “a divergence” between their views and those of Barrack on the issue of the SDF and Sharaa.
>SDF leaders have reportedly resisted pressure from Barrack to give up control of their autonomous region in north and east Syria, as well as the oil fields located within it.
>The massacre of thousands of Alawite and Druze religious minorities in March and July of this year has also discouraged the SDF from integrating with Damascus.
>SDF leaders say that if they give up their weapons, Kurds could be targeted by Sharaa's forces in similar massacres.
>Barrack was in Damascus on Tuesday to oversee a US-Jordanian-Syrian proposal for ending the conflict between the Druze in Suwayda and Sharaa in Damascus – but on Wednesday, Druze spiritual leader Sheikh Hikmat al-Hijri rejected the proposal.
>“Any agreement that we are not involved in drafting is worthless. Withdrawal from occupied villages and the release of those kidnapped are not up for debate. No real efforts by Damascus, only concessions for foreign powers,” Hijri stated.
>The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported on 29 August that the death toll in Suwayda reached nearly 2,000, including 765 civilians, mostly Druze, extrajudicially executed by Sharaa's forces.
>Hijri and the fighting groups backing him enjoy military and diplomatic support from Israel, which is seeking to keep Syria “weak and fragmented.”War drum beats clouds on the horizon for the Kurds.
>>2489102I said the war drum beats are coming on the Kurds, it was implied that they are coming from the US(NATO, more specifically from turkiye, who is desperate to have some political retribution after failing to their people with everything related to Palestine). and all signals to it.

In response to that massacre last night.
SDF: The Syrian Ministry of Defense kills civilians, then kills the truth
On the evening of Saturday, 20 September, forces affiliated with the interim government in Damascus carried out an attack in Deir Hafer countryside, killing 7 civilians.
The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) said that the statement issued by the Media and Communications Department of the Ministry of Defense regarding the massacre committed by armed factions affiliated with the Damascus government against civilians in the village of Umm Tina, in the Deir Hafer countryside, is nothing more than a blatant attempt to evade responsibility. It lacks any military or political logic, and it cannot alter the established facts on the ground, SDF added.
“This weak narrative reflects the Ministry of Defense’s confusion as it attempts to cover up the repeated crimes and attacks carried out by its factions. It is not only an act of media deflection, but rather a flagrant disregard for the lives of Syrian civilians and for the victims’ right to see those criminals held accountable. Such denial is part of a systematic policy pursued by the Ministry of Defense, which treats Syrian lives as expendable so long as the truth can be concealed,” said the SDF statement on Sunday.
SDF reported that seven civilians were killed in the attack, including children between the ages of one and four, as well as elderly women in their seventies. Four others were injured in the artillery shelling carried out by the Damascus government’s armed groups on the night of September 20. “We have publicly released the names and ages of the victims, while the Ministry of Defense attempts to participate in the crime twice—once through artillery fire, and again through denial and evasion.”
SDF stated that they hold the Damascus government fully responsible for this massacre, which has been documented with names, and called upon it to rein in its unruly factions and to engage in a peaceful process that prioritizes the lives and security of Syrians over political and military agendas.
