PYD explains challenges facing success of peace process in region
The Democratic Union Party (PYD) explained the political situation to human rights activists in Aleppo, explaining what is happening on the Syrian scene, who is leading the peace process in the region, the means to achieve it, and the challenges hindering this process.
To explain the latest political developments in Syria and the outcomes of the agreements concluded between the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria and the Damascus authorities, the PYD's Public Relations Office held a meeting today for human rights activists in the Talat Halab Hall, east of the Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhood. The meeting was attended by lawyers from the Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafieh neighborhoods, as well as other neighborhoods in Aleppo.
The meeting began with a moment of silence. PYD member Hussein Jia then evaluated Leader Abdullah Ocalan's call for peace and a democratic society, describing it as comprehensive. He said, "As usual, his directives call for peace and the building of a democratic society governed by justice and equality."
He added that the appeal was widely welcomed at the Arab and international levels, with the exception of Turkey, which continues to adopt a hesitant stance, without taking any practical action to support the peace process.
The meeting participants raised a number of questions, focusing on the motives for concluding agreements with the Damascus government, their effectiveness, and the possibility of a safe return to Afrin under international auspices.
In response to these inquiries, Avashin Afrin, an administrator in the General Council of the Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafieh neighborhoods, explained that "the party with the organizational and military power is more deserving of making fateful decisions."
She noted that "the agreements between the Autonomous Administration and Damascus are temporary and subject to violation due to external interference, particularly from Turkey, which is working to disrupt them through its intelligence services with the aim of postponing and delaying the provisions of the agreements signed between the two parties."
Avashin emphasized "the need for international support to ensure the return of displaced persons to Afrin without subjecting them to violations by Turkish mercenaries. She emphasized that this requires a complete withdrawal of Turkish forces from Syrian territory."
The meeting concluded with an emphasis on continuing pressure for a political solution that preserves the rights of all Syrian components, in light of the growing regional and international challenges.
