Bahceli: SDG does not represent Kurds in Syria

WISE NEWS PRESS / ANKARA, TURKIYE

Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) Chairman Devlet Bahceli issued a comprehensive written statement regarding developments in Syria, asserting that the SDG is a terrorist organization that does not represent Syrian Kurds.

Emphasizing the necessity of protecting Syria's territorial integrity, Bahceli argued that the only viable option is the full implementation of the March 10, 2025 agreement. He stated that the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDG) and its derivatives must be completely dissolved and integrated into Syrian state institutions. Bahceli highlighted that the current fragmentation hinders regional stability and called for a unified central authority under the new Syrian leadership led by Ahmed el-Shara.

Failure of the March 10 Agreement and Regional Escalation

Bahceli noted that nearly ten months have passed since the March 10 agreement, yet the SDG leadership has maintained a stance contradictory to the spirit of the deal. He accused the organization of stalling the process by insisting on autonomy and federation demands, which the Damascus administration perceives as a direct threat to national unity. Bahceli pointed out that Turkiye's unwavering support for a unitary Syrian state has empowered the central government to take a firmer stand against these separatist tendencies.

"Kurds are one thing, SDG is another"

In his analysis, Bahceli drew a sharp distinction between the Kurdish people and the armed group. He stated, "In Syria, Kurds are one thing, and the SDG is another. The SDG is a terrorist organization and does not represent Syrian Kurds." He observed that many Kurdish and Arab tribes in the regions controlled by the SDG are increasingly uncomfortable with the group's presence and prefer the sovereignty of the central government. According to Bahceli, the recent military superiority shown by the Syrian army in Aleppo and the Euphrates region has exposed the SDG's lack of true power and local legitimacy.

An 8-Point Roadmap for Syria’s Future

To ensure lasting peace and stability, Bahceli proposed a specific 8-point roadmap:

1. Full Implementation: The March 10, 2025 agreement must be enacted in its entirety, with the total dissolution of the SDG.

2. Territorial Integrity: Discussions on federation or autonomy must be removed from the agenda to guarantee permanent unity.

3. Inclusive Constitution: A new constitutional order based on the rule of law and equality for all ethnic and religious groups.

4. Distinction of Identity: Clearly separating Kurds from the SDG to invalidate the group's claim of representation.

5. Cultural Rights: Recognizing the cultural rights of all original elements, including Turkmens and Kurds, such as elective language courses.

6. National Citizenship: Strengthening the concept of "Syrian citizenship" over ethnic or religious affiliations.

7. Government Stability: Establishing a strong executive structure based on a presidential system with a clear separation of powers.

8. Regional Integration: Developing an economically and politically integrated Syria as a key actor in regional stability.

Bahceli concluded by stating that Turkiye's peace and security are directly linked to the stability of Syria, urging the international community to support the reconstruction of a unitary Syrian state.
