PYD (Democratic Union Party) president Salih Muslim confirmed that they will attend the Geneva II Middle East peace conference.

Muslim underlined that the PYD will go to Geneva with its own proposals and added the conference could be a first step towards reaching some agreement on a solution to end a conflict which, he said, could last for a long time still.

The Geneva II is a proposed United Nations (UN) backed peace conference that would take place in Geneva in late 2013 with the aim of stopping the Syrian civil war and organising a transition period and post-war reconstruction.
