The Central Committee of the Kurdistan Yekiti Party – Syria held its regular meeting in mid-September 2025, where it discussed recent political developments in Syria in general and Syrian Kurdistan in particular.

Organizational matters:

The meeting reviewed and discussed at length the report of the Organizational Office on the activities of the party’s organizations inside and outside the country. The committee positively assessed the Organizational Office’s visit to the Afrin region, which included several organizational and public meetings, providing a close-up view of the situation of the people there. The committee emphasized the need to pay sufficient attention to the party organization in Afrin and considered these visits necessary to strengthen the organizational presence in the region. It also noted positive changes in the security situation compared to previous stages, but stressed the importance of making further efforts to address the effects of violations and demographic change in Afrin and its countryside, in order to ensure a dignified and safe return for all displaced persons and refugees.

Political situation:

After reviewing the meetings held by the Council Presidency, the meeting focused on the current political developments in Syria and the prospects for the political transition process. It expressed concern about the escalation of sectarian and racist rhetoric targeting Syrian communities, warning against attempts to fragment the social fabric, especially after the bloody events in Suwayda and the documented violations against its people.

It stressed the need for the transitional administration in Damascus to reconsider its internal policies and work to restore the social fabric torn apart by years of war and the defunct Baath regime, by recognizing the country’s cultural, ethnic, and religious diversity and guaranteeing constitutional rights for all. The meeting also raised the need to adopt a decentralized system after reviewing the current administrative divisions, stressing that solutions must be based on dialogue, the rejection of violence, and moving away from the military option that has exhausted the Syrian people.

Economic and living conditions:

The meeting discussed the difficult conditions our people are experiencing due to drought and the misguided economic policies pursued by the PYD administration, demanding an end to the imposition of royalties on citizens and traders, and the need to secure agricultural loans and provide agricultural supplies (seeds, fertilizer, mazout) at the right time and at reasonable, encouraging prices.

Education:

The meeting addressed the issue of educational curricula in the areas of self-administration with the opening of schools, and emphasized the need to find a solution that would allow schools that had been using the state curriculum to continue teaching it until permanent solutions were reached.

Kurdish affairs:

The meeting discussed the work of the Kurdish National Council and its offices, emphasizing the importance of holding the Council’s National Conference at this stage and restructuring its offices in line with the requirements of national and patriotic work. It stressed adherence to the outcomes of the Conference on Kurdish Unity and Position, considering them an expression of the will of the political and social forces of the Kurdish people, and appreciated the Council’s call to develop and strengthen these outcomes through genuine partnership in various fields and to form a Kurdish reference point in accordance with previous agreements with the Democratic Union Party (PYD)

The meeting also discussed the statements made by President Ahmad al-Sharaa on the rights of the Kurdish people in Syria and their cause, expressing the hope that these statements would be translated into practice by responding to the call of the joint Kurdish delegation emanating from the conference, with a view to finding a just solution to the Kurdish issue in the new Syria.

The meeting emphasized that the Kurdish National Council is the political framework that brings together independent Kurdish national parties, organizations, and figures, and that it plays an active role nationally, regionally, and internationally, and must strengthen its relations in a manner that serves the outcomes of the conference.

The meeting also discussed the situation of displaced persons from Sere Kaniye (Ras al-Ayn) and Keri Sibi (Tal Abyad) from among the Kurds, Arabs, Chechens, Christians, and Yazidi Kurds, who are waiting to return to their homes, more than nine months after the fall of Bashar al-Assad. The meeting called on the transitional administration and all parties concerned to work to ensure the safe and voluntary return of our people to their areas.
