Chauvinistic countries resort to several policies to strengthen their rule and existence, such as a policy of "divide and rule." maybe the Middle East's fame for its ethnic diversity drew attention of these groups that inverted the blessing of diversity for a curse, by stirring up strife and creating conflicts.

About the importance of forming an alliance between the Arab, Kurdish and Syriac components, ANHA conducted an interview with the Egyptian journalist Sayed Mustafa. Mustafa began his speech by pointing out that relations of Kurds, Arabs and Syriacs are good throughout the history that witnessed this cohesion.

He noted that authoritarian governments disturbed these relations between peoples by saying: "Governments tried to strike these peoples to occupy their lands. We saw this in Turkey during the Sevo massacres against the Syriacs, and the massive attempts to strike the Kurdish people in order to empty the region (southern Turkey) and settle the Turks." to control of the natural resources . He added, "The tyrannical governments that succeeded in ruling Iraq, as the Baath Party provoked sectarian unrest to maintain the rule."

In this regard, he said: " this policy similar to Damascus government' one , which stirs up strife in NES to strike stability of the region." Sayed Mustafa indicated that experience of the Autonomous Administration created harmony between the components in many regions, especially in Raqqa and the rest of the Arab regions. 'The problem is not the fragmentation between the components, but the presence of external agendas'.

Concerning to Baghdad's conference which carried the slogan “Towards a Successful Arab-Kurdish Dialogue,” Mustafa stated that there are intentions of the central government in Baghdad against the Kurds, and said, “Attempts to strike the Kurds in Iraq increased after the announcement of the independence referendum in Erbil , and entering the Iraqi forces into a number of cities, such as Kirkuk, was the best evidence. Mustafa saw that the problem in Iraq is the foreign agendas that do not want to bring peace between the Kurds and Arabs in Iraq.

Mustafa also mentioned that Iran and Turkey are largely interfered in the affairs of Iraq to prevent any harmony between the components.

He attributed this to fears of the emergence of a Kurdish current on their lands, and he said in this regard, “The mentioned forces do not want stability to the Kurdish regions because for the two countries this means that the Kurds in those countries will obtain their legitimate demands and rights. He considered the recent political crisis in Iraq is easier than achieving an Arab-Kurdish accord for Turkey and Iran.

Regarding Turkey’s occupation of a number of Syrian areas, Mustafa said, “ We saw in the north of Syria, that Turkey exploited the Syrian armed factions and issued through its media sedition and incitement among the Arab and Syrian communities , to defame the Kurds and accuse them of being separatists and wanting to split north and east Syria; In order to inflame the street to create a political and populist cover its affiliated groups to seize Afrin and other Kurdish cities.”
