Kurds to Syria-negotiations are not loaded – so far
On Friday in Geneva for a peace conference for Syria will take place. But still, there is dispute about whether the Syrian Kurds will participate. They were invited to participate yet.
Despite the claim of Russia, the UN envoy Staffan de Mistura has no invitation to the controversial Kurdish party PYD sent. “We don’t know what will happen, but it is unlikely that we will be invited”, said the PYD Co-Chairman Salih Muslim, the German press Agency. The Kurds would have to participate in democracy, secularism and freedom to guarantee. “Otherwise we might end up a kind of Islamic Caliphate or Emirate,” fears Muslim.
