Mr President, in recent days we have lived through deep, dark concern for the fate of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria, for the present and the future of the Democratic Confederalist Revolution. We fear the worst. But as our comrades on the ground taught us, we never abandoned resistance. We never lost hope. Now, an agreement with the transitional government of Syria has been signed. If this was possible, it is thanks to the massive, powerful mobilisation of the peoples of north‑east Syria. It is thanks to the rise of the Kurdish people across Türkiye, Iraq and Iran. And it is also thanks to the international solidarity.
Now we must stay vigilant. We must ensure that every single term of that agreement is respected. We are not naive. We know that agreements are often disrespected and always reflect the relations of power. This is why it's up to us to do everything we can to strengthen DAANES. Democratic confederalism is not just a regional project. It is a concrete alternative of peace and justice in a world dominated by nationalism, supremacism and violence. It is for the Kurds, but not only for the Kurds. It is for Arabs, Assyrians, Armenians, Yazidis and Turkmen. It is for women. It is for everyone who wishes to live free. This struggle concerns us all.
And as for the illegal siege of Kobani: humanitarian access now.
