Stockholm, July 24 (AKnews)
It is early for talks over autonomy for Kurds in Syria but the Kurdish population in the country demands a decentralized polity, said a Kurdish political leader.
"The experience of the Iraqi Kurdistan Region and ruling of Kurds in their region has been successful," said Saad Mala, a member of the foreign relations committee of the Kurdish National Council of Syria (KNCS).
Mala added Kurds of Syria demand the same decentralized polity of the Iraqi Kurdistan Region for ruling their own region in Syria.
He continued "decentralism is the best system of rule for the sectarian and ethnic components of Syria...it also prevents unilateralism and dictatorship."
As for training Kurdish fighters from Syria in the Iraqi Kurdistan Region, Mala said the Kurdish political parties of Syria supports the training in the interest of protecting the Kurdistan of Syria.
"But so far these forces have not been exploited," the leader said.
Speaking to al-Jazira net, Kurdistan Region President Massoud Barzani said that there is a training base for the Kurdish fighters from Syria. He added the fighters are trained to protect Kurdish areas in Syria.
