SDC representative: Radical solution of Syrian crisis by reinforcing democratic opposition

After six failed rounds of the so-called Syrian Constitutional Committee in Geneva, the work of the seventh round was launched on Monday, amid expectations that its results will be the same as its predecessors, as it will not lead to a political solution according to the aspirations of the Syrian people as long as all the active political forces in the country do not participate in it.

The seventh round of the meetings of the so-called Syrian Constitutional Committee began on Monday at the United Nations headquarters in Geneva, headed by the UN Special Envoy to Syria Geir Pedersen.

Commenting on this, the representative of the Syrian Democratic Council in Washington, Bassam Ishaq, said, "The seventh session of the Syrian Constitutional Committee is being held in Geneva against the backdrop of what envoy Geir Pedersen described as a deep and long dialogue with the Assad regime's Foreign Minister, Faisal Miqdad. Pedersen wants to sow hope that a political solution Through the constitutional committee, it is possible and that a political solution, according to a statement launched by the envoy on March 14, is the only way out of the current stalemate in the Syrian situation.

He stressed, "The most important models that politically expressed the aspirations of an important segment of Syrians is the model of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria, which recognized the pluralistic Syrian reality and recognized linguistic and cultural diversity, women's rights and freedom and the freedom to choose faith, and these are fundamental and revolutionary steps to move the future Syria from all kinds of tyranny and oppression to a vast space of justice and freedom.

He added in this context: "The Autonomous Administration's experience is not a Kurdish, Arab, Islamic or Christian experience, nor is it a call for division, as its opponents accuse it. Rather, it is a model and an experiment that is still developing and seeks to express the aspirations of the Syrians by recognizing the Syrian reality as it is and not as this team wishes. This or that, or this or that regional country.”

Regarding the value of discussing the constitution in light of the presence of occupied areas and the continuation of terrorist activity, Ishaq believes that “the selection of the members of the Syrian Constitutional Committee came through regional and international filters, not to mention the filter of the Assad regime, and therefore such a committee cannot produce a constitution that would lead Syrians to a state of justice, dignity and freedom for all Syrians.” Not to mention that the Syrian regime has no political interest in producing a new Syrian constitution in Geneva and entering into a transitional phase that exposes its people to accountability.

He continued in his speech: "Pederson, who adheres to the letter of Law 2,254, has become an obstacle to reaching a Syrian constitution for all Syrians. The man clearly stated that the Syrian solution is limited to the Syrian parties mentioned in 2,254, meaning that his committee does not represent all Syrian political parties, and therefore he is talking about an incomplete solution and the incomplete solution." It is not a solution, but a continuation of the crisis.”

In the context of his speech, he touched on the Syrian reality, which has gone through developments that crystallized the positions of many Syrian political forces, and said: "Today, there are Syrian political forces that have fought terrorism militarily and also politically, such as the Autonomous Administration model, which liberated Syrian land from terrorism and established a pluralistic political administration that manages a third of the Syrian area and its presence. necessary for the crystallization of a democratic Syrian constitution."

Ishaq noted that Resolution 2,254 is not a holy book, but rather a momentary agreement on how to reach a political solution to the Syrian issue.

At the conclusion of his speech, the representative of the Syrian Democratic Council in Washington, Bassam Ishaq, believes that "the political solution has become in another place, away from the Constitutional Committee and Geneva, where the members of the Committee are besieged by the regime and the agendas of regional and international players are powerless, and the real political solution needs to be strengthened today." The national democratic opposition so that it overcomes the current state of fragmentation and can overcome the state of stagnation in Geneva and the stalemate in the Syrian issue as a whole.
