Syrian President Condemns Kurdish Calls For Federalism

Kurds and other minorities in Syria are concerned Ahmad al-Sharaa is constructing an extremist religious government that excludes non-Sunnis

The office of Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa condemned recent Kurdish calls for federalism in Syria, saying they contradict an agreement reached between Damascus and authorities from the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in the country's autonomous northeast.

Sharaa's office issued a statement calling on the SDF to sincerely adhere to the agreement concluded with the Syrian government and to prioritize the supreme national interest.

On 10 March, SDF leaders reached a deal with Sharaa's government to integrate its forces into the Ministry of Defense. The SDF currently controls northeast Syria, administering it alongside occupying US forces as an autonomous region. The SDF-controlled northeast includes Syria's largest oil fields.

The SDF leadership cannot monopolize decision-making in northeastern Syria, the statement from Sharaa's office added, while warning against disrupting the work of Syrian state institutions in areas controlled by the SDF.

"The unity of Syria, its land and people, is a red line," the statement concluded, while claiming that the rights of the Kurds, as well as the rights of all components of the Syrian people, will be protected.
