The commander of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), Mazloum Abdi, stated that his forces \u201cpose no threat to anyone\u201d and affirmed that the SDF administers regions under the umbrella of the Syrian state.<\/p>\n
Speaking at a conference in Iraqi Kurdistan on Wednesday, Abdi expressed his hope that all provisions of the March 10th agreement with the Syrian government would be fully implemented by the end of this year. He described the agreement as \u201cbeneficial\u201d and said it \u201cput an end to hate speech and revenge.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is better to achieve peace through dialogue,\u201d Abdi stated. \u201cWe hope to reach a national dialogue to address the existing problems in Syria,\u201d stressing that power in Syria should be decentralized.<\/p>\n
He alluded to ongoing discussions regarding the integration of the SDF into the Syrian military. \u201cOur forces pose no threat to anyone, and our administration operates under the umbrella of the Syrian state,\u201d he reiterated.<\/p>\n
Abdi also called upon the international community to support Syria and give it an opportunity for reconstruction and development.<\/p>\n
