He stressed that unity with Syria must be founded on a decentralized system that preserves rights and safeguards independence.

The event concluded with the Kurdish Progressive Democratic Party in Syria renewing its pledge to continue Abdul Hamid Darwish’s path, to strengthen dialogue among the different components, and to remain loyal to his national and humanitarian legacy.
