The meeting called for the assertion that the liberation of Afrin from the Turkish occupation army and its mercenaries comes at the forefront of the struggle priorities of our party, its supporters, all our Kurdish people in Syria and the secular democratic forces. Defeating the Turkish occupation army and its mercenaries in Afrin is the beginning of the end of the Turkish occupying of various areas of Syria and at the same time reinforcing the democratic project and the achievements of the people's revolution in Rojava in July 19, 2012 with its various social configurations in the light of the international silence towards the hostile practices and the demographic change crime that Afrin region is exposed to.

In this step, the people of Syria become closer to the stage of preparing for the democratic solution to the Syrian crisis.

The meeting valued positively the two meetings held between the Syrian Democratic Council and the authority in Damascus, stressing that the dialogue and negotiation’s language is the way to solve the intractable crisis. Although the meetings have not so far progressed to the negotiation’s level, we express our support to these meetings positively for Syria to be a national and decentralized country. The solution is related primarily to the preservation of Syria’s union and sovereignty and the transition from a centralized system to a decentralized and democratic one.

The meeting concluded that the liberation of Idlib which is invaded by Jabhet al-Nusra terrorist organization and its armed gangs comes in an endless series related to the so-called the religious treaty. This liberation must be unrelated to the empowerment of any political past project.

The meeting stressed the need for our party to play an effective role overcoming the objections of the Kurdistan National Convention, especially that holding such conference comes to achieve the desire of our people to unite the efforts of all Kurdish parties and forces and the democratic forces in the area to achieve security and stability in Syria, Iraq, Iran, Turkey and the area. The resolution of the Kurdish Cause has become the key to the democratization and stability in the Middle East.

Finally, our party valued the security, stability and co-existence we enjoy in Rojava and North and East of Syria. Furthermore, the attempts that target this advanced situation must be repelled firmly. We call on our people to stand against all those who want to undermine our national unity and the gains of our people that have been achieved thanks to thousands of martyrs.”
