The new Syrian officials made a deal to integrate the Kurdish-Left administration to state institutions, as they push them to expand their rights across the country, giving recognition for long-run Kurds.
The deal comes at a significant moment for the government, after a wave of violence on the Syrian coast, the East President Bashar al-Assad was seen to be the worst-1,000 civilians since the worst in December, killing the majority alvites, the majority of a war.
This is what we know about the new agreement and which can benefit from it.
What does the deal say?
The deal was signed by interim President Ahmed Al-Sara and Majalaum Abdi, the head of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), the head of the actual army of Kurdish-Nedi Administration in North and North-East Syria in Damascus on Monday.
Its major provisions include “Integration of all civil and military organizations in the North Eastern Syria under the Syrian state administration”.
It includes “border crossings, airports and oil and gas areas,” the deal says, in exchange for recognizing the Kurds as a “essential component of the Syrian state”, guarantees “rights of citizenship and all … constitutional rights”.
The Kurds of Syria have long been marginalized and repression under the Assad rule, have been denied the right to speak their language and celebrate their holidays and, in many cases, of Syrian nationality.
The minority was largely out of the 13 -year civil war of disastrous 13 years, taking advantage of Assad’s weakness, formed a real autonomous administration.
Although the lesson of the deal is spared in detail, it provides for the main condition of maintaining their military structures of the Kurds.
The deal determines a roadmap to implement its provisions by the end of this year and “will try to ensure the rights of all Syrians for representation and participation in political life and all state institutions”.
Abdi described the deal as a “historical opportunity”, and the ceremonies broke on the streets in various Syrian cities.
Under the deal, the Kurdish swear on “supporting the Syrian state in combating the remains of the rule of Assad”.
How does it serve the officers?
Violence on the coast is the most serious setback for Syrian infection after a pledge to protect the country’s minorities.
Muttu Siviroglu, an analyst and expert at Kurds, a Washington -based analyst, stated that Shara “recognizes the need to connect with the Kurdish to strengthen his position”.
He said the deal “allows them to present themselves as a leader that all identities are shown in the future of Syria”.
The deal allows new authorities to strengthen power on a large geographical area, which, according to Syrian expert Fabris Balanche, contains 90 percent of the Syrian oil area and its bread basket.
The new Syrian army also attains a high-groomed and trained Kurdish party, with which they can coordinate security challenges.
A SDF source said that joint operations will be started in the Syrian desert to fight the Islamic State Group.
The deal did not immediately explain the fate of the jails under the Kurdish administration, in which thousands of IS fighters are held.
But Abdi said last month that Damascus wants to control those jails.
What do Kurds achieve?
Since the new officials seized power in Syria, the Kurdish administration has shown a desire to cooperate with them and merge the SDF into the new army.
But during a national dialogue held in Damascus last month, the new authorities excluded the Kurds from the political process, on the pretext that they did not pay attention to Shara’s call to laying and dissolve their weapons.
Balanche told AFP that “SDF will definitely not merge with HTS”, referring to the Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, which excluded Asad under Shara’s leadership.
Balanche still said that SDF would “try to coordinate against” and “” stop any fight “between the two groups.
SDF was a prominent partner for the United States in the fight to end in the country.
The deal, which was signed with our blessings according to a Kurdish source, recognizes the role and identity of the Kurds, Syrian’s largest minority and most organized military.
Civichlu stated that minority “can no longer be sidelined in shaping the future of Syria”.
The growing area of administration during the war has confronted him with neighboring Turkey and since 2016 he has suffered bloody attacks by Ankara-supported groups, resulting in waves of large-scale displacement.
The deal took place after Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) jailed leader Abdullah Oklan, a major partner for new Syrian officials to end the armed struggle over four decades against Turkey.
