Statement by Dr. Kadri Jamil, Head of the Moscow Platform, Secretary of the People's Will Party.

These days, an unprecedented race is taking place on the road to a political solution of the Syrian crisis, along more than one track and in more than one direction.

The Syrian crisis was synchronous with the stage of formation of the new international balance of power, wherein an old world collapses, in its structure, its tools, and the nature of relations between its countries, at the same time when a new world is being born, though its final features are not yet clearly uncovered.

The Syrian homeland has become an open battlefield for the armies of many countries and different armed forces with different goals, objectives and roles. With the decline of the fascist forces and the approaching political solution, the fate of these forces has become part of the media discourse of the various forces, and there is no doubt that the departure of all foreign forces without exception, later, is considered in principle a legitimate national demand, on the grounds that such a presence is a violation of national sovereignty, regardless of its primacy, the justification of it, its legitimacy or its conformity or non-conformity with international law…

No preconditions, no postponement. these are the highlights of the briefing given by UN Envoy Staffan de Mistura to the UN Security Council on the upcoming round of the Geneva talks on the Syrian crisis, which should summarize his conclusions and his regional and international contacts and reflects the level of consensus reached by the two main players regarding the political solution in Syria.

New countries to join "Astana 7" And Geneva postponed till after Astana (al-Watan)

In light of the great complexity surrounding the Kurdish issue on several levels (local, regional and international), and while Syria and its people approach the salvation of the disastrous crisis, through a political solution, in preparation for the formulation of a new Syria, People Will Party proposes this draft theses about «the Kurdish issue and the Peoples of the Great East», and present them for a public debate, and for discussing them through the party’s newspaper and website, in the framework of preparations for the next party conference.

Since the Russians directly entered into the Syrian crisis as a party who insisted on letting the Syrian people self-determine their fate through a consensual political solution, the European Central Powers began feeling afraid to return empty-handed “after the party is over”.

On Tuesday, 12/9/2017, Melody FM radio held an interview with the secretary of the People Will Party and the leader in the Change and Liberation Front, Alaa Arafat. In the interview Arafat discussed the latest political developments at the global, regional and local levels. Here are some of the most important questions and answers in this interview.

The preliminary results of the Astana meeting confirm new progress in this trajectory; on the one hand, by making firm and consolidated what has been agreed upon previously, through expanding the circle of participants from the regional forces in attending these meetings as observers, and on the other hand, by creating the conditions for further progress on the path of the political process.
