US-Backed Kurds Express Readiness To Join ‘new Syrian Army’ Under HTS Rule

Heavy clashes between the SDF and Turkish-backed militants east of Aleppo have killed over 130 people in the past two weeks

The commander of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), Mazloum Abdi, says the US-backed Kurdish militia has been closely coordinating with the de facto authorities in Damascus and is ready to integrate into the new Syrian army once a “suitable formula” is negotiated.

“Future Syria must have a single national army that defends the country and Syrian citizens. This is indisputable. The weapons of the Syrian Democratic Forces will be the weapons of this national army, integrated into it with all its experience and strength. For this to happen, direct discussions are needed to reach a suitable formula for implementing this matter,” Abdi told the Saudi daily Asharq al-Awsat on 27 December.

The Kurdish military commander also revealed that field coordination between the SDF and Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) began on “the second day” of an offensive that ended with the ousting of president Bashar al-Assad.

“We haven’t yet reached direct negotiations with HTS, but we believe Syria should be a decentralized, pluralistic, democratic state where the country’s diverse identity and the rights of all Syrian components, including the Kurdish people, are constitutionally protected,” Abdi said.

Abdi also spoke about the ongoing clashes between the SDF and the Turkish-backed Syrian National Army (SNA) near Tishreen Dam, which have killed at least 136 people over the past two weeks.
