The current chaos is not in anyone&#8217;s interest. The Autonomous Administration is ready for security and will do what it has to do. The Syrian Transitional Government must fulfill its responsibilities in the context of building a new Syria,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Emphasizing the importance of political work with the participation of all parties under international supervision, she continued: &#8220;Otherwise, political justice will not be achieved and the war will not end. We do not accept a return to the old Baathist system. They cannot cling to centralization and tyranny. The construction of a new Syria can only be achieved through the recognition of the identity of all components. A national congress must be held with the participation of all parties. A political agreement under the umbrella of the constitution will secure the common future of all the Syrian people.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rejecting claims that the Autonomous Administration wants to divide Syria, Ilham Ehmed said that decentralization is necessary to protect the diversity and participation of all components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis also guarantees the participation of women. We will never back down from these demands,\u201d she underlined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Referring to the points agreed upon with the Transitional Government, Ehmed noted that the committee on the return of migrants has not yet held a single meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDespite the promises made by Ahmed al-Sharaa, President of the Syrian Transitional Government, the committee has not yet convened. This demonstrates a stance against the provisions of the March 10 agreement. This line of action hinders the transition process. Therefore, this situation poses a threat to the transition process and creates a greater threat of the country sliding into civil war,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ilham Ehmed said, \u201cWe do not accept a return to the old Baathist system.
