Within the framework of the 29 January 2026 Agreement, our negotiations, as the Women’s Protection Units (YPJ), with Damascus are continuing.
In April, we held a meeting with Minister of Defense Murhaf Abu Qasra, during which we also submitted a written draft outlining our vision and proposals.
To this day, we have not been informed of any official proposal or decision by the authorities in Damascus.
There are proposals for the Women’s Protection Units (YPJ) to join the Ministry of Interior as an independent force dedicated to combating terrorism. However, no final decision has yet been reached on this matter.
In the coming days, meetings will be held between us and officials in Damascus to discuss this issue.
Our struggle and activities will continue until the legacy of the Women’s Protection Units (YPJ) is placed under legal protection and guarantee.
