The Syrian Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal al-Meqdad said to reporters on Wednesday and Reuters quoted from him that they had made contacts with the Kurds in Syria.

He expressed his optimism about the negotiations with the Kurds who seek to reach an agreement with the Syrian regime in the framework of efforts to repel the Turkish attack that targets the unity of Syria.

Al-Meqdad pointed out that the previous experiences were not encouraging in an indication to the negotiations that took place earlier in 2018 and then stopped.

He welcomed the recent statements of the People Protection Units (YPG) and their emphasis on belonging to the Syrian state in terms of land, people and borders. The circumstances are encouraging now, and there was no alternative to the dialogue.
