Darar confirms that threats are serious, Damascus government must take firm position

The speech of the co-chair of the Syrian Democratic Council, Riad Dirar, came during his participation in a special program broadcast by ANHA’s agency, yesterday evening, about the threats of the Turkish occupation, its seriousness and goals, and international positions on them.

Turkish threats are serious

Riad Dirar began his speech, saying: "The Turkish threats are serious, and they are waiting for a signal from one of the two countries (America and Russia) to move in the appropriate direction."

He added, "It is our right to defend our regions and land, and to base our projects on them, stabilization and construction projects, and in order to move steadily towards a political solution, Turkish occupation is trying to obstruct all of this, so the threats are serious."

Aspirations are not confined to a region

Regarding Turkish ambitions and Turkey’s talk about Tal Rifaat and Manbij, Dirar said: “The ambitions are limited to the entire border line, meaning the length of 900 km. Erdogan has ambitions to establish a border strip of 30 km or more, as much as he can, and he wants to control this region and decide on the this issue is clear and I declare it before the United Nations This declaration does not mean that it has the right to be responded to, because this does not indicate rights and does not indicate that the Turkish state can blackmail the world in the name of an international resolution under the pretext (if the borders are threatened), because the world knows that its borders It was not threatened, and therefore it is a kind of Turkish ambitions, not only in the Syrian lands but also in Iraq, and it is part of the Erdogan project that wants to restore the Misak-ı Millî, to control areas that were under the Ottoman Empire.”

The weakness of the Syrian state has given way to the greedy

Dirar spoke about the international ambitions in Syria, saying: “Syria is a weak state, and every aspirant has the right to demand his right, because of the diseases that afflicted us and the decay that took place in the Syrian state, at the expense of the Syrian people and the Syrian land, and this is what made the Russians interfere in the contracts it established with the regime, the Iranians interfering, the Turkish interfering, and the world having repercussions in the region, and Israel bombs every day, and ISIS, which came from all sides and wanted to establish its state in the region."

He continued, "So, because of disease and disintegration, everyone wants a part of the Syrian cake, as it is said. This is the reason why we are living this international regression against the Syrian reality, which we are trying to get rid of by calling on the Syrians to unite and find a common solution between them."

Regarding international positions on these threats, Dirar said: "There are contracts, covenants and agreements between us and the Americans and the Russians, but the American is the most honest with us and the most in need of us, because we are fighting together against the infernal project of ISIS that threatens the whole world."

The United States of America withdrew from its points in Serêkaniyê and Tal Abyad in 2019 and made way for a Turkish attack that led to the occupation of the two areas in October of the same year.

On the 25th of April, more than 20 male and female fighters were martyred in an air attack of the Turkish occupation army on the headquarters of the People's Protection Units YPG in Jabal Qereçox in Derik region in 2017. The international coalition against ISIS in the United States of America considers itself responsible for the airspace in that area.

He explained, "The American needs us as we need it for construction, stability and defense, while the Russian wants to restore the regime to the region in the way it used in the De-escalation zones, and this is not positive, because we want the Russian to be an honest mediator and to achieve with the regime a political solution that gives rights to the components, to participate In administrations, and for there to be a constitution that achieves real participation in all regions, we establish a decentralized system, as are all successful countries, including the Russian Federation.

Dirar spoke about the Russian delegation’s recent visit to Turkey, and said: “The statements of the two parties indicate a complete lack of agreement. There are differences. Therefore, these differences can be played on, and each party can believe that it is he who can impose his influence, but the Russian confirmed that there are agreements Astana and it must be implemented, and when he talks about the Astana agreements, the imbalance started with Turkey in the Idlib regions. Hence, the Russian cannot give up if he does not take in return. If a deal is made, there can be an exchange, and I don't think that is happening so far."

We talk about constants with Damascus

Regarding the position of the Damascus government, Dirar said: "We talk about constants within a clear strategy, so our discourse with the Damascus government always falls within these constants. We want Syrian sovereignty to be comprehensive on all Syrian lands, to have a full right to rule the regions. We ask: How can we reach an agreement on these issues. However, in all the dialogues that took place, we did not reach an agreement."

He continued, "Within the constants, we demand the Syrian army to carry out its duty to protect. We asked it in Afrin to enter and bring anti-aircraft guns, and it was delayed, and the Russian was pressuring it, because there is an agreement between Turkey and Russia to give up Afrin in exchange for other lands in return, this matter is exposed and became clear, But when Ras al-Ain and Tal Abyad were occupied, there was an agreement, and some forces came, but they did not come with the aim of protecting the borders, but rather to interfere in internal issues.

In this context, he explained, "The army should not interfere in politics. The Syrian army has become political since the first coup, and it interferes in politics and administration. We say that the Syrian army should protect the borders and we are with it. Therefore, we agree with the politicians in the administration."

Rhetoric does not protect the country. We want facts

Dirar revealed, "This matter has not happened yet. However, we have asked the Syrian army to provide air defenses as a card and a factor of confidence so that we can advance for every step 10 steps. This matter has not happened yet, and therefore, speeches cannot protect the country. We want facts on We commend the positive statements and hope that we will advance to more relationship and communication and reach a political solution in which we must be partners.”

Everyone bears responsibility and history will not be merciful

He stressed that "everyone bears the responsibility, when the regime left the areas of NE, Syria to ISIS. The people of the region are the ones who liberated them and the regime did not interfere. Now Turkey threatens the country and the regime can come and defend with its army, but it stands idly, but he bears the historical responsibility.
