Omar: Russian role turns to be negative contrary to our expectations

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov claimed, in a press conference several days ago, that the Kurdish issue would explode "due to the American moves in Syria," and that the Americans were trying to establish a Kurdish state-like autonomy in northern Syria. He also accused Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Muallem in a speech before the United Nations General Assembly, the Syrian Democratic Forces and the Autonomous Administration, with the attempts to divide the Syrian territories and plunder its resources.

The Co-chair of the Syrian Democratic Council, Amina Omar, made it clear that the Damascus t does not accept a political solution for crisis.

Omar explained that when the Damascus sees that the Syrian Democratic Council and the Autonomous Administration are taking steps for the sake of the region and dialogue, whether with the opposition parties, it always sends messages of threat. and said: “As if it is practicing a special war against the region, promoting its return again to take control of the region again. "

 'The Damascus does not have a realistic view on matters and clings to its mentality'

She pointed out that the Damascus underestimates project of the AANES and the presence of the SDF that liberated the Syrian areas from ISIS mercenaries and noted: “Damascus hostile language represents unchanged mentality of the regime since 2011. The regime does not look at things realistically and the changes on the ground since these years.

She indicated that the Russians were deployed in the controlled areas by the Syrian Democratic Forces following an agreement between the two parties. “Because of the American presence in this region, the Russians gradually changed their rhetoric, and they want to compete with the Americans in the region.”

Amina Omar noted that the Russians always seek to seize other regions, and said: "This is what we see frequently during protests between the Russian and American patrols in the region, and this stems from the existence of competition to prove their presence in the region."

Russia's statements are provocative to create discord in the region

She touched on the recent statements, saying: "These statements and allegations are incorrect, because the project of the Syrian Democratic Council is a national and democratic and it is not a separatist project as they claim. We did not seek separation someday, our project aims at the unity of Syria."

She explained that the Russian Foreign Ministry’s statements serve their interests and the countries in Syria. “Perhaps the interests of the Russians are with Turkey or the regime is with Turkey. These are provocative statements to create discord in the region.”

The positive role that we were hoping from Russia turns into be a negative one

She wished that Russia would have a positive role in the region, especially that they had expressed their willingness more than once to resume talks between the Syrian Democratic Council and the Autonomous Administration on the one hand and the Damascus government on the other hand, and she noted: “But until now nothing has happened on the ground, but rather their statements serve regional agendas, and we think the positive role that we had hoped for turns into a negative role. "

Amina Omar touched on the Kurdish issue in Syria and said: “This issue is a national and it must be taken into account and needs a just solution. Now we are in the process of finding a solution to this issue in Syria, and the recent statements are inflammatory statements to incite Turkey against the Kurds and fuel the region more .
