'We in Syria face one enemy and we must exert with the sons of a united Syria, from Arabs and from Kurds, our blood to recover every inch of the beloved Syrian territory.'
Syria has called on U.S.-backed, mostly Kurdish militias to officially join the country's armed forces as both factions faced new insurgent violence that threatened a ceasefire agreement reached last week by Russia and Turkey.
The outlet also cited the Syrian Interior Ministry as offering to extend civil services across the self-ruling northeast, noting the difficult living conditions due to the Turkish-led incursion and offering to integrate the Syrian Democratic Forces' Asayesh security forces into the government's internal security agency. The Syrian Ministry of Education offered to support children there as well, noting how they have been deprived of schooling due to the unrest.
"Likewise, the members of the Syrian Democratic Forces, in all their different forms, and in front of the world, have been the best Syrian fighters who fought against the Islamic State and destroyed its alleged caliphate in defense of Syria and the world as a whole," the statement continued."Therefore, these heroes deserve praise and honor and not the settling of statuses and decrees of amnesties like those that are issued against criminals and terrorists.
