Jordanian historian: Arab-Kurdish cooperation to constitute an impenetrable barrier against external threats

 In light of the challenges and threats facing the peoples of the region, the percentage of votes calling for an alliance between Arabs and Kurds to confront these challenges is rising.

 Jordanian writer and historian, Dr. Muhammad Al-Suwerki, said about this: “We have no doubt that an acceptable solution to the Kurdish issue in Syria and Iraq will contribute to strengthening these countries internally in economic and military terms, and the Arab and Kurdish sides will stand united in the face of external threats, especially those from Turkey and Iran."

 He explained, during an exclusive interview with our agency, that "there are external parties pressuring the Baghdad government not to solve these problems to weaken the Kurdish region, but in Syria, the Syrian issue is still unresolved, and the Damascus government refuses to negotiate with the Autonomous Administration to solve the problem between the two parties, which allowed the parties to  international intervention in the Syrian issue.

 The Jordanian writer and historian pointed out that "the recognition of the rights of the Kurds by the Syrian and Iraqi states in the constitution and on the ground will give strength to these two countries and prevent the countries stalking them, especially Iran and Turkey, from interfering in their internal affairs, as well as forcing Turkey to withdraw its occupying forces from Syrian lands, and in northern Iraq, forcing them to give Syria and Iraq their share of the waters of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in accordance with the agreements concluded between them.

 He pointed out that "if these countries deal with the Kurdish issue in accordance with democratic methods, acceptance of pluralism and respect for human rights, they will proceed towards building and construction and building themselves and preventing foreign ambitions from encroaching on their lands."

 At the conclusion of his speech, he pointed out that "the Kurds and Arabs are united by brotherhood in history, civilization, geographical neighborhood, intermarriage and a single future, and this is what every honorable Arab and Kurdish person wishes for a real unity between them that stands as an impenetrable dam against external threats."
