Consultative meeting parties call for national conference for all Syrian components

The parties of the Consultative Meeting issued a statement on Tuesday regarding the rapid developments in the transitional phase on the political and administrative levels, during which, they called for a reassessment of the current phase's trajectory to ensure genuine national partnership and fair representation for all Syrian communities. The statement included,

"Our country, Syria, is witnessing rapid developments in the transitional phase on the political and administrative levels, accompanied by measures and decisions related to the formation and restructuring of state institutions. The Syrian people are following with concern the nature of these political and administrative developments and the accompanying policies, which have direct repercussions on the country's future and on the principle of national partnership among the various components of the Syrian people. These measures have not contributed to improving the overall situation in political, security, economic, service, and living conditions; rather, they have further complicated matters."

In their statement, the parties called for conducting a comprehensive review of the policies of the transitional administration, beginning with a call for a comprehensive and inclusive national conference in which all political, national, cultural and religious components of the Syrian people participate. From this conference would emerge a committee to draft a modern constitution that defines the nature of the government's system in the country, and a transitional government that represents the various spectrums and components of Syrian society, whose task would be to prepare for and supervise the presidential and legislative elections. The new parliament would then take over the task of enacting laws that regulate public life in the country in a spirit of genuine partnership, far from the mentality of exclusion and marginalization.

On the Kurdish level, the parties participating in the consultative meeting explained that despite the January 29th Agreement coming into effect, it continues to face obstacles and problems in both military and administrative spheres, and that the ongoing integration processes within various institutions and departments lack credibility and transparency, and fail to consider the specific circumstances of the Kurdish regions. This has contributed to increased resentment and fear of the future among the Kurdish people and weakened the prospects for building a genuine national partnership.

They added that the government's procrastination regarding the issue of prisoners and its delay in releasing them has become a priority for the Kurdish public and a benchmark for the government's seriousness in implementing the agreement.

The parties stressed in their statement a firm fact, which is that the Kurdish issue cannot be reduced to a position here or an administrative job there. In this regard, it must be said that what was called the People's Assembly elections, which recently took place in Hasaka Governorate and Kobani region, and before that in Afrin, lacked all democratic standards. Moreover, the principle of distributing the number of seats did not take into account at all the population percentage of Kurds in Syria, nor the demographic composition in the Hasaka Governorate, because it was carried out in a selective manner, which deepened the state of frustration and despair among the Kurds due to the continuation of the policy of marginalization and denial of their existence as the second nationality in the country.

The parties considered that the results of the council formation process have raised widespread concerns among the Kurdish people due to their weak representation and the reliance on appointment and selection methods that disregard the popular will. This has deepened the feeling of political exclusion and marginalization among large segments of the Kurdish population. Therefore, the process is illegitimate, and its outcomes are also illegitimate as they do not represent the will of the Syrian people.

They noted that the participation of some political forces in this process has exacerbated the rift and division within the Kurdish community, which had placed great hopes on the outcomes of the April 26, 2025 conference and the joint Kurdish delegation, and that the participation of some in the electoral process without consulting the Kurdish parties has contributed to increasing the division state within Kurdish society.

They pointed out that, "The appointment of someone from the villages of al-Ghamr to the council representing Serê Kaniyê (Ras al-Ayn) district is a form of defiance and disregard for the will of the Kurdish people and the people of the region, as these individuals are not original inhabitants of the city. This appointment represents a continuation of racist policies and the approach of demographic change in Kurdish areas."

They made clear that the Interim Government's actions of raising fuel prices and imposing taxes on goods entering through the Semalka border crossing with Kurdistan Region have exacerbated the suffering of the province's residents on the living level.

The parties participating in the consultative meeting, based on their national and political responsibility, emphasized "the necessity of working to promote Kurdish dialogue and build a unified political stance and a shared vision that reflects the aspirations of the Kurdish people in Syria, free from foreign interference and narrow partisan interests. This should contribute to strengthening Syrian national partnership, building a democratic, pluralistic, and decentralized state, guaranteeing the legitimate national rights of the Kurdish people in the country's constitution, and ensuring the constitutional recognition of the rights of all Syrian communities."
