flag PKK leader Öcalan urges Turkey to broker SDF-Syria peace, but talks stall over YPG integration and autonomy.

flag Jailed PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan has urged Türkiye to mediate a peace deal between the YPG-led SDF and Syria’s government, emphasizing the March 2024 agreement's importance for regional stability. flag He called for democratic decentralization in northeastern Syria, but the deal remains stalled due to Damascus’s demand for YPG integration into state forces and rejection of autonomy. flag Türkiye, viewing the YPG as a threat linked to the PKK, supports Syria’s stance and has warned of military action if integration fails. flag Despite claims of ongoing talks, Syrian officials say no progress has been made, and Ankara’s patience is dwindling.
