Commander Mazloum Abdi: We need a roadmap with the Damascus government

SDF General Commander Mazloum Abdi said that they are ready to integrate their forces and institutions into the new Syrian state administration, but added: "We need a roadmap that we will agree on with the administration in Damascus".

Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) General Commander Mazlum Abdi stated that they are in favor of the territorial integrity of Syria and the unity of all its components on the basis of equality among Syrians without any discrimination.

Commander Mazloum Abdi told ANHA agency: "In response to those who accuse us of dividing and fragmenting Syria, we state once again that we will act according to our principles. We are in favor of granting rights and roles to all Syrians on the basis of equality without any discrimination. We are also in favour of the territorial integrity of Syria and the unity of all its components. We support the Damascus government and welcome the spread of the Syrian state administration, of which we will be a part, throughout the country."

Commander Abdi added: "As Syrians, we are ready to integrate our forces and institutions into all the forces and institutions of the state on the basis of partnership, not quotas."

Commander Abdi underlined that "Syria’s underground resources belong to all Syrians. We are ready to hand over these resources to the control of the Damascus government so that they can be shared fairly in a way that ensures the stability and prosperity of the Syrian people. In order to implement these issues, we need to agree a roadmap with the administration in Damascus. In this way, we can implement the issues we are talking about quickly."
