Russian diplomat: US withdrawal will not affect if we take into account interests of Kurds and Arabs

ءThe Syrian government’s restoration of control over Trans-Euphrates after the US troops’ pullout may ensure greater security if interests of the Kurds and Arab tribes inhabiting the area are taken into account, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Vershinin, who leads Russia’s delegation at the 40th session of the UN Human Rights Council (HRC), told TASS.

"I don’t think that this [US pullout from Syria] could worsen the situation in Syria," Vershinin said "On the contrary, we believe that the restoration of the central government’s control over the entire Syrian territory, including the area beyond the Euphrates, is a step that will ensure greater security."

"Naturally, here the interests of people who are living on this territory should be taken into account and ensured," the diplomat said. "This territory is home to both the Kurds and the Arab tribes. All indigenous citizens of Syria have their own interests."

According to the diplomat, the inter-Syrian dialogue would contribute to stability and security in Syria.
