The government of Syria said that it had reached an agreement to integrate an armed faction dominated by the Kurdish into state institutions, which is a major breakthrough in temporary administration as it seeks to extend its control over the broken country.

The fate of the Syrian democratic forces, which was able to have more than 60,000 fighters in their salaries and controls in the northeast of the country, was one of the decisive challenges of the efforts of the new authorities to unify the Arab nation and security forces.

The Syrian presidential statement said that the deal, which took place after a meeting on Monday between the interim president, Ahmed Al -Sharra and the leader of SDF Mazloum Abd, calls for a ceasefire at the country level and the merging of the civil and military wings supported by the United States in the state.

If the agreement is concluded, it will bring a larger area of ​​Syria under the control of the SR government, including biological oil and gas fields in the northeast, as well as the border crossings. The deal should also reduce the risk of more violence and reduce the long friction point between Türkiye and the United States.

Since the rebel attack that overthrew dictator Bashar al -Assad in December, Shara has been persuading many armed factions to integrate into the National Security Force. However, the fragility of the nation was emphasized days of sectarian violence last week, which the attacks on government security forces have arisen by Assad’s loyalists.

Hundreds of people, most of whom were civilians, were killed in violence around the coastal cities in Latakia and the heroism, the homeland of many of the Alawite sect, to which Assad belongs.

SDF took control of an area of ​​northeast for years, as it was armed and trained by the United States after Washington knew it as its main local partner in ISIS.

The Kurdish dominated movement took advantage of the chaos of the Syrian civil war to control about 20 percent of the Arab nation. But its presence in the border area with Turkey has long sparked Ankara, which is the militants as an extension of the PKK (PKK), a separatist group that has fought four decades -long rebellions against the Turkish state.

Türkiye has launched at least three attacks in Syria since 2016 to lift the Popular Defense Forces from its borders, and the Syrian armed and trained factions to confront the Kurdish militants.

After the fall of Assad, Türkiye-which appeared as a more influential foreign actor in Syria-insisted on SDF and that its non-Syrian fighters are leaving the country, or facing a threat to more military gifts.

The Turkish -backed Syrian factions, which allied with the SR government, collide with SDF in the north after the collapse of the Assad regime late last year.

The SDF agreement should be reduced from Western concerns about ISIS’s endeavor to exploit the security void to install the return of jihadist activity.

SDF manages prisons and camps carrying tens of thousands of ISIS fighters and their families, and fears between Western officials about the security of the establishments have grown if the Kurdish militants are involved in further fighting.

The announcement of the agreement between Shara and SDF 10 days after Abdullah Oaklan, founder of the imprisoned Kurdistan Workers Party, was issued, a statement calling for a solution to his group and their arms.

The conditions of the deal are supposed to be implemented by the end of the year.
