Sama Bakdash, the Democratic Union Party(PYD) spokesperson, said that intra-Kurdish talks will be resumed in February.
The North Press Agency, a media outlet close to the Kurdish-led Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (NES), on 16 January, quoted Bakdash as saying that the U.S. administration is attempting to get the Kurds engaged in the Syrian political process.
Bakdash indicated that the U.S. Deputy Special Envoy to Syria, David Brownstein, “confirmed his country’s determination to ensure the success of the Kurdish-Kurdish dialogue in Syria.”
