ERBIL (Kurdistan24) – A delegation from the Kurdish National Council in Syria (ENKS) has arrived in the Kurdistan Region to meet with President Masoud Barzani in Erbil.
Discussions will center on the developing political landscape in Syria and the significance of Kurdish unity in tackling the country’s challenges.
Focus on Syrian Kurdish Unity
According to a source from ENKS speaking to Kurdistan24, the meeting will focus on the latest security and political developments in Syria and attempts to establish a united position among Kurdish parties in response to the country's new political realities.
This meeting occurs against the background of notable changes in Syria after the collapse of Bashar al-Assad’s regime in December 2024, a development that has restructured the region’s political landscape.
Second Meeting Since Assad’s Fall
The meeting in Erbil signals the second official dialogue between President Barzani and ENKS representatives since Assad's regime fell.
On Jan. 8, 2025, President Barzani received an ENKS leadership delegation in Pirmam, where they exchanged views on the ever-changing dynamics in Syria and the role of Kurdish parties in the current transition.
According to a statement from President Barzani’s headquarters, that meeting highlighted the significance of Kurdish unity and dialogue to navigate the challenges posed by the new political environment in Syria.
Topics of Discussion
During this latest meeting, the agenda is likely to include:
- The role of Kurdish parties in Syria’s transition: Exploring ways to reinforce coordination among Kurdish factions to ensure their interests are safeguarded in the evolving Syrian political framework.
- Security and stability: Tackling measures to uphold stability in Kurdish regions of Syria amid broader regional changes.
- Unified Kurdish positions: Fostering strategies to offer a cohesive stance among Syrian Kurdish parties as they engage with Syria’s new administration.
Barzani’s Role in Promoting Kurdish Unity
President Masoud Barzani has been a crucial advocate for Kurdish unity and cooperation across borders, particularly during critical moments of regional change.
His engagement with ENKS underlines the Kurdistan Region's commitment to supporting the Kurdish people in Syria during this critical period.
Regional Implications
The outcome of these discussions is anticipated to influence the political trajectory of Kurdish regions in Syria, as well as the broader dynamics of post-conflict Syria.
Observers hope that President Barzani’s leadership will help foster a united Kurdish front, ensuring that Kurdish parties play a constructive and influential role in shaping Syria’s future.
