Syrian Foreign Ministry The proposed decentralization threatens the unity of the state

Khaberni - The Syrian Foreign Ministry stated on Friday that the current proposal for decentralization in Syria transcends the administrative framework to a political and security decentralization that threatens the unity of the state and entrenches de facto entities, noting that the discussion of managing the region by its "people" ignores the reality of political exclusion, monopolization of decision-making and the absence of true representation of the community diversity in the northeast of the country.

The Ministry affirmed that the repeated statements from the leadership of the Syrian Democratic Forces "SDF" that the oil belongs to all Syrians lose credibility as long as it is not managed within the state institutions and its revenues are not included in the general budget, pointing out that any talk of convergence in views remains without tangible value unless translated into clear official agreements.

In the same context, a responsible source in the Syrian Foreign Ministry stated that the repeated emphasis on the unity of Syria contradicts the existing reality in the northeast of the country, where there are administrative, security, and military institutions outside the state framework operated separately, which entrenches division rather than addressing it.
