All Kurdish groups must play a role in a political settlement and the future of Syria. The exact nature of Syria's future constitutional arrangements will be for all Syrians to decide through the political process. It is a key principle in the 2012 Geneva communique and UN Security Council Resolutuion 2254 that all Syrian constituencies must ultimately be represented in discussion on Syria's future.
