"A state with central authority is not justified from the point of view of demography and living conditions in Syria. The broad concentration of power should not exist – we offer a democratic federation for the whole of Syria. The draft of the constitution proposed by Russian experts had a number of positive points, and there was no mention of one nation. A single religion was also not mentioned there. It was about a kind of decentralization, the legislature would be represented by two chambers – parliament and the council of representatives of the regions, and [the draft] was also about the cultural autonomy of the Kurds," Isa said.
The PYD representative said they regretted the fact that the negotiations on the constitution excluded representation from the Kurdish self-administration. He added that his party had its own draft constitution for Syria, which Isa considered "progressive and the best."
On July 11, in an exclusive interview with Sputnik, UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura stressed the vital need for Syrian Kurds to participate in the process of drafting the nation's constitution.
