The Kurdish Democratic Progressive Party, one of Syria’s oldest Kurdish parties, believes that efforts to normalize relations between the Damascus regime and Ankara came at Russia’s request and Iranian encouragement in wake of the summit held between Russia, Türkiye and Iran in July.

Kurdish Democratic Progressive Party politburo official Ahmed Sulaiman said they have called for dialogue with Bashar al-Assad's regime to “resolve the Kurdish issue for which we have strived for.”
