WASHINGTON (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 02nd March, 2019) The Syrian Democratic Council (SDC), the political wing of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, is willing to discuss any proposals by Russia on Syria including establishing a working group to normalize the country, Bassam Ishak, co-chair of the council's mission to the United States, told Sputnik.
Russian President Vladimir Putin told reporters on Thursday that he discussed with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at their meeting in Moscow on Wednesday the idea of creating a working group including all interested parties that will work on the normalization in Syria after the Islamic State terrorist group (IS, banned in Russia) is eliminated.
"This is my first initial hearing about such an idea. I think we are open to discuss with the Russian officials about any proposals," Ishak said. "Russia is an important political actor in Syria that we have visited many times in Moscow."
