On Thursday, the Kurdish National Council in Syria held the transitional administration led by Ahmad Shar’a responsible for the acts of violence that occurred in the coastal regions and in the province of Sweida, citing its failure to take necessary measures to prevent them.

In a statement issued following its latest meeting, the Kurdish Council called for the new Syrian constitution to include “explicit provisions recognizing the legitimate national rights of the Kurdish people.”

The Council condemned the tragic events in the coastal areas and Sweida province, as well as the bombing of St. Elias Church in Damascus.

It emphasized the need to “reject violence and criminalize sectarian conflict,” while underscoring “the importance of peaceful solutions to build a new Syria founded on inclusive national principles.”

The Council criticized what it described as “exclusionary and unilateral approaches” that dominated preparations for national dialogue conferences, the formation of the government, and the process of establishing the People's Assembly.

It also warned of “the rise of hate speech and sectarian incitement in the media,” calling for “mechanisms to protect civil peace and achieve transitional justice within a decentralized democratic state.”

The Kurdish Council affirmed that “comprehensive political transition is the only path to ensuring genuine partnership.”

On Kurdish affairs, the Council stressed “the importance of activating the role of the joint Kurdish delegation and building a unified Kurdish reference based on the outcomes of the Kurdish Unity and Position Conference,” urging the transitional administration to “engage in serious and responsible dialogue with the joint Kurdish delegation.”

The Council also condemned what it described as “a campaign of accusations attempting to link the Kurdish people to agendas of division or secession,” considering such claims “an extension of the exclusionary mindset that prevailed under the former regime.”

It added that “overcoming this mindset requires joint national efforts based on principles of partnership and mutual recognition.”

The Council demanded that the new Syrian constitution include “explicit provisions recognizing the legitimate national rights of the Kurdish people, including their identity and language,” stressing the “need to abolish previous discriminatory policies and fairly compensate those affected by them.”
