Damascus, August 25 (SANA) Mazloum Abdi announced Tuesday the end of the mission of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and their dissolution as an independent military force following the completion of their integration into brigades of the Syrian Army, saying the step marks a new phase centered on peace, stability and building a new Syria.
Speaking at a press conference at the People’s Palace in Damascus, Abdi said the country entered a new phase focused on peace and building a new Syria. He noted that following the agreement with President Ahmad al-Sharaa and the completion of the integration process, the SDF’s mission had come to an end.
“We want this day to mark a genuine transition from battlefields to the fields of construction, and from the era of weapons to the era of peace,” Abdi said, adding that the memory and sacrifices of those killed would remain present in the national consciousness.
On education in the Kurdish language, Abdi said President al-Sharaa repeatedly affirmed the right to education in Kurdish, describing the position as open to protecting that right and developing the decision in the future. He said work will begin this year to implement Kurdish-language education, building on the decision in the future.
“We want to build a new Syria for all its people — Kurds, Arabs, Turkmen and Assyrians — a united and stable Syria that protects the future of its children and ensures them a dignified life,” Abdi said.
The completion of the integration process marks a key step toward unifying Syrian state institutions and restoring their full role in the northeast, ending parallel military and administrative structures that emerged during the years of the revolution and reconnecting the region with the rest of the country within a unified administrative, institutional and economic framework.
The process forms part of a national approach based on integration into the state and its institutions, while safeguarding the cultural and linguistic rights of Syrian Kurds as an integral part of Syrian society. It also places security and military responsibilities under official state institutions and a single national chain of command.
