Syrian tribal leaders meet to discuss roadmap for post-Assad era
Following the meeting, which was organized under leadership of the Şanlıurfa-based Arab Solidarity and Culture Association (ARAPDER) at the Harran Otel, participants published a joint declaration.
Approximately 600 Turkmen, Kurdish, Arab and Christian representatives coming from Syria attended the meeting, which lasted for two days.
Rakam el-Hıdır, a member of the group identified as the Al Jazeera-Euphrates Liberation Front, according to the Anatolia news agency, read out the declaration.
El-Hıdır stated that the meeting was held with the participation of all the groups in Syria to discuss the problems faced by the Syrian resistance, adding that the meeting also aimed to discuss and determine a roadmap for the post-Assad era.
“Our goal is to provide a military and civilian organization. Our aim is to unite the Al Jazeera-Euphrates Liberation Front with the other organizations inside and outside Syria to contribute to the resistance. We are planning to cooperate with those that have participated in the resistance in Syria. We want to continue our struggle while adhering to international law and the moral principles of religion, the military and ethics,” said el-Hıdır.
El-Hıdır also added that the Al Jazeera-Euphrates Liberation Front was open to cooperating with all insurgents on the ground, politicians and military figures who wish to contribute to the independence of the Al Jazeera-Euphrates region.
El-Hıdır stated that for the success of the resistance, the group was also open to cooperation with Islamist groups that have not been involved in the bloody crackdown of the Syrian regime.
“We can find regional solutions with these groups to develop the Al-Jazeera-Euphrates region and solve the political, social and health problems of the region. We are against all organizations that promote terrorism, anarchy and sectarian discrimination,” said El-Hıdır.
In June, Şanlıurfa hosted a similar meeting attended by approximately 40 tribal leaders from the Homs, Hama, Aleppo, Deir al-Zor and Racca provinces of Syria.
