Jozef Lehdo, co-chair of the Executive Council of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria, said that the Autonomous Administration is ready to sit at a negotiation table with the Syrian government for a solution to the Syrian crisis.

Lehdo spoke to ANHA concerning the latest political developments in the region.

Lehdo stated that it is time to resolve the crisis in Syria where Turkish aggression poses a constant treat with its invasion plan. He added that the Autonomous Administration is ready to do its best to turn Syria into a safe place.

Lehdo highlighted that it is not possible to resolve the Syrian crisis without the Autonomous Administration. “Resolving the Syrian crisis is in the interest of all peoples living in Syria,” he noted.

‘FOREIGN POWERS WANT THE SYRIAN CRISIS TO CONTINUE’

Lehdo remarked the Autonomous Administration has approached the negotiation process very seriously since it was established. “Several meetings were held with the Syrian regime over the issue previously. However, there were frequent foreign interventions in these talks. Foreign powers want the Syrian crisis to continue. We are, nevertheless, ready to sit at a negotiation table with the Syrian government again.”

‘ALL PARTIES SHOULD BE INVOLVED IN RESOLUTION PROCESS’

Lehdo emphasized that they can meet with all political groups for a solution to the Syrian crisis. “If a dialogue is established in the coming period, every group should deal with it in a serious manner. Moreover, all political circles in Syria should be invited to the talks. The UN and international organizations should also be invited as observers.”
