Salih Muslim: Kurdish parties back draft interim government
Co-chair of the Democratic Union Party PYD Salih Muslim said they discussed the draft of the interim government with all the Kurdish parties, especially with the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan and the Kurdistan Democratic Party and the Kurdistan Workers Party. He pointed out that all parties confirmed their support for the draft, but that their views have not been stated formally. Concerning the Syrian oppositions opinion on the draft interim self-management, Muslim said:” we did not announce the interim administration in western Kurdistan formally; it is only a draft for discussion, and I believe everyone should support and endorse this project”. He stressed that it is through the participation of The National Coordination Body for Democratic Change in Syrian that the draft has been introduced and therefore “we did not see any negative reaction”. But there are those who want to convey to the public that this project aims to divide Syria and accuses the Kurds of being separatists. These accusations are made from a chauvinistic standpoint. The people in western Kurdistan are in need of management or an interim government in order to provide for the conduct of their affairs and to meet the requirements of their daily life. Mislim pointed out that the coordinating body would issue a statement in support for the legitimacy of the interim administration in western Kurdistan. However there are some parties seeking to exaggerate some matters, and they do not want Kurds to live in a safe and stable environment. The United States too did not accept the idea of the interim government in western Kurdistan, but after a meeting with the representative of our party met with officials from the state department, there seems to be at least some hope for debating it.
