Discussion on Kurdish Issues in Syria

Sir, you have such awareness that you can read people’s minds,

when you say Syria’s president, al-Sharaa,

has a complex about the Kurdish issue.

Uh, in my opinion, this is a very important point.

Even just from a symbolic perspective,

the message he sent,

the very protocol of the reception

for us—

it had to

say, “I have no complex about the Kurds.”

We arrived at Damascus Airport with

a letter that the president himself had sent in Kurdish, welcoming

the Kurds.

When we went there, of course these are protocols, but they are symbolic things, and

important. There were Kurdistan and Iraqi flags everywhere.

He wanted to say, meaning it was a symbolic matter,

but even

the food menu was written in Kurdish, meaning his intention

was to say, “I have no complex.” And I want to, and I think

he understood that. Of course, they also

have their own problems. Their issues are not few.

Yes.

I mean, they do not have an easy Syria now.

They cannot govern an easy Syria. A very difficult Syria, a Syria

that is destroyed—

Yes.

Socially, in terms of reconstruction, meaning rebuilding,

Syria needs a very long time in every way.

And I

am pleased that,

um, our brothers in Syria,

our brothers in Syria, Mazloum and Hafalani and the others,

looked at their issue realistically.

Realistically. Sometimes people wish—

Yes.

But sometimes there is a reality that you must

deal with that

reality that exists. They

dealt with the reality of the matter.

Jamal.

And this realism,

in my opinion, is very, very important for Kurds.
