Government Welcomes Syrian Kurds’ Participation in Political Process Based on National Dialogue

DAMASCUS, (ST) – Kurds in Syria are part and parcel of the Syrian national life, stressed Prime Minister Wael al-Halqi on Saturday during the meeting of the Ministerial Committee in charge of implementing the political program to solve the crisis with Head of the Syrian Kurds National Initiative Omar Oussi and member of the initiative committee.

“The government is open to all political and social parties as well as all opposition groups which want to take part in the political process based on national dialogue and rejection of foreign interference in the Syrian affairs,” Premier al-Halqi said.

He outlined the procedures adopted by the government to implement the items of the preparatory phase of the national dialogue.

Oussi, who affirmed the importance of the government’s meeting with a Kurdish party, said the Kurdish initiative is an evidence of the government’s openness and positive intentions towards all national forces including the Kurdish one.

Oussi reviewed the history and achievements of the Kurdish political movement, pointing out that the Kurdish initiative is open to the political program to solve the crisis and to contribute to supporting national dialogue and reconciliation.

In a statement to journalists, Oussi stressed that the Kurdish national initiative is optimistic about the government’s plan and political program to solve the crisis in Syria, pointing out that national dialogue is in itself a political road map to find a settlement.

He affirmed the Syrian Kurd’s firm national and strategic stance on defending the homeland in being the strong fence protecting the Syrian northern borders.
