Kurds Declare Autonomous Federal System In SyriaBy Brandon Turbeville Kurdish journalist, Barzan Iso, confirmed the rumors to RT when he reported that Now the conference has just started in Rmelan, about 200 representatives of Rojava have joined [the event]. They represent different ethnicities and nationalities. There are Kurds, Arabs, Assyrians, Syriacs, Turkomans, Armenians, Circassians and Chechen. Also we have representatives from the Syrian democratic forces, YPG, women defense units. This conference is supposed to announce a federation as a political project for Rojava region in northern Syria. The new project would replace the currently autonomous zone of Rojava by formally creating a Federation of Northern Syria incorporating the 250 miles of Kurdish-held territory along the Syria-Turkey border with the section of the northwestern border near the Afrin area. At least, this is the plan as relayed by Idris Nassan, an official working in the Foreign Affairs Directorate of Kobane (Ayn al-Arab). The new system would entail widening the framework of self-administration which the Kurds and others have formed, he said. Rojova only received a degree of autonomy in 2013, when Syrian forces were overwhelmed by Western-backed terrorists and were forced to abandon much of the territory now occupied by Kurdish militias such as the YPG and others. In place of the SAA, the NDF and other Syrian patriot militias, as well as Kurdish forces, remained and fought terrorists gallantly to the point of securing large swaths of border territory. Before 2013, Rojova was never an autonomous region nor was there a separate Kurdish entity in Syria. After all, the Kurdish areas are occupied by many more religions and ethnicities than Kurds, including Syrian Arabs, Assyrians, and Turkmen. In January 2014, however, the PYD (Democratic Union Party) declared all three Rojovan cantons autonomous. This included Afrin, Kobane, and Jazira. The Rojova interim Constitution, known as the Charter of the Social Contract, came immediately after. The charter called for the peaceful coexistence of all religious and ethnic groups residing under its jurisdiction and reaffirmed that Rojova would remain part of Syria. Still, the representative of the PYD party in Moscow, Abd Salam Ali, told RIA Novosti that Within days, probably today, self-governing [bodies] of three Kurdish cantons in Syrias north will declare a federation. But Ali pointed out that autonomy did not mean separation from Syria, merely the establishment of a looser centralized governing system and the federalization of the Kurdish area. He said that the new Kurdistan will remain part of Syria. Turkey, of course, opposes the move fearing both that the Syrian Kurds will begin to represent a significant threat on its borders and that, more importantly, the Syrian Kurds will unite with the Turkish Kurds and begin to wrest territory from Turkey itself. Ironically, the Kurdish announcement resulted in Turkey laughably suggesting that it supports Syrias national unity and territorial integrity. Indeed, if Turkey has finally come around to supporting Syrias national sovereignty, it is a revelation had by Turkish leaders only hours ago. Aside from the ridiculous claim that Turkey respects Syrias territorial integrity, the Turks reiterated their position that any administrative restructure must come via the adoption of a new constitution for Syria. The legitimate Syrian government is also rejecting any federation plans for obvious reasons. Bashar Jaafari, head of the Syrian government delegation at the United Nations Geneva talks, was quoted as stating that Drawing any lines between Syrians would be a great mistake. He also pointed out that Syrian Kurds are an important part of the Syrian people. It should be noted that the Kurdish move comes as it becomes clear that the Kurds will not be included in the Geneva talks. While Turkey is obviously pleased at the exclusion of the Kurds, the Russians have repeatedly contended that they should be involved in the process. Even Staffan de Mistrua, the UN Envoy to Syria, has agreed that the Kurds should be included. Rodi Osman, head of the Syrian Kurdistan Office in Moscow, implied that the declaration of the federalized Kurdish territory may have been a response to having been excluded from the peace talks. He stated to RIA Novosti: The second round of inter-Syrian talks is underway in Geneva, but Syrian Kurds were not invited. It means that the future of Syria and its society is decided without Kurds. In fact, we are pushed back into a conservative, old-fashioned system which does not fit well with us. In light of this, we see only one solution which is to declare the creation of [Kurdish] federation. It will serve the interests of the Kurds, but also those of Arabs, Turks, Assyrians, Chechens and Turkomans all parts of Syrias multinational society. Given the complicated situation in Syria, we would become an example of a system that may resolve the Syrian crisis. Syrian Representative to the United Nations, Bashar Jaafari stated that the talks should not have begun with the absence of half or two thirds of all the opposition since doing so has left the talks very weak. Kurdish exclusion from political negotiations, however, is not the only possibility as to why the Kurdish federalism has been announced, since the idea is the very concept proposed by the United States only weeks ago.

A federal but loyal Kurdish region might be the price Syria has to pay to end the evil plot The price Syria must pay to end the evil plot is the end of Syria itself. That always was the plot, going back to start of Zionist project. Syria proper has NOTHING to gain from this. Hope the Kurds take a big chunk out of Turkey too- as otherwise they have limited water Do a quick search and take a look at the New Middle East Project map, the globalists apparent plan going back many years, there is clearly a new territory carved out for the Kurds and Iraq is subdivided into three parts. Shortly after the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, a Kurdish leader wrote to Bush praising and thanking him for the US role in creating the NMEP giving the Kurds an opportunity to eventually have their own homeland. Its just one more divide and conquer tool to end the nation state paradigm (around the globe) to be replaced by Regional Governance (similar to the EU). Dumb not to invite the Kurds to the peace talks. Really dumb. Kurdish Federation backed by both the US and Russia? Israel must be jealous. Its an old Global Elite plan, as outlined in the New Middle East Project. Top Israelis had to have known for a long time supporting the prospect of their regional neighbors being fully assimilated into the NWO.
