    MOSCOW,— Moscow believes it necessary to engage the Kurds in the intra-Syrian talks in Geneva, Russian Special Presidential Envoy for the Middle East and Africa, Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov told reporters on Monday.
    “The Kurds’ participation issue is still pressing. We believe that their representatives should be engaged (in the Geneva talks on settling the Syrian crisis,” the Russian diplomat stressed.
    “Everything depends on the participants’ will, and on the UN representatives, of course,” Bogdanov noted adding that the work on forming delegations will be resumed ahead of the next round of talks. “I think, some conclusions will be made after the first round of talks which will end in a few days, after that, we hope that the second round of talks will begin,” he said.

    “This is a complicated process, it takes time, but we expect that all the remaining issues will be settled.”
    The Kurdish Democratic Union PYD party which controls Syrian Kurdistan, 22 percent of northern Syria, was not invited to all previous peace talks on Syria to please Turkey, Kurds say.
    PYD’s representative in Russia Abdulselam Ali told Sputnik on Sunday that “Resolving the Syrian crisis without Kurds is impossible,” he said. The Kurds “are self-sufficient and they have their own armed forces. [All stakeholders] need to find common ground with the Kurds. Otherwise Syria will not have a promising future.”
    U.S regards the Kurdish PYD and its powerful military wing YPG of Syrian Kurdistan as key ally against Islamic State and the most effective fighting force against IS in Syria and has provided them with arms, air support as well as the military advisers. The Kurdish militia has seized swathes of Syria from IS.
    Syrian Kurdistan’s ruling PYD has established three autonomous zones, or Cantons of Jazeera, Kobani and Afrin and a Kurdish government across Syrian Kurdistan in 2013. On March 17, 2016 Syria’s Kurds declared a federal region in Syrian Kurdistan.
    Syrian Kurds on Dec. 30, 2016 have approved a blueprint for a system of federal government in Syrian Kurdistan, reaffirming their plans for autonomy in areas they have controlled during the civil war.
    The fourth round of the Geneva talks was launched on February 23. Its participants include UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura, the UN Security Council, the International Syria Support Group, a delegation from Damascus led by Syria’s envoy to the UN Bashar Jaafari, the High Negotiations Committee (HNC), an umbrella organization headquartered in Riyadh, as well as the Cairo and Moscow groups.
    The Syrian constitution
    The Russian-drafted Syrian constitution is not the absolute truth but an invitation to a discussion, Bogdanov reiterated:
    “I would like to note that this document is not the absolute truth, but an attempt to unify the common approaches that the parties share,” he said.
    “This document should be viewed as an invitation to a meaningful discussion between the Syrians who will have to decide the future of their country themselves.”
    “The United Nations Security Council Resolution 2254, adopted in December 2015, still remains the key element of and the internationally recognized basis for settling the Syrian crisis,” Bogdanov went on to say. “It stipulates the priorities of multilateral efforts and calls for cooperation and talks between the Syrian government and all the opposition groups. The document also reflects our principal approach to the ways of solving the Syrian crisis, which remains unchanged. We believe that only the Syrian people have the right to decide their future, including the future of President Bashar al-Assad, while foreign interference is unacceptable.”
