Syria’s Kurds call for end to all military operations in the country: statement

Syria’s Kurds, who run a semi-autonomous administration in the northeast, called Monday for an end to all fighting in the country and extended a hand to the new authorities in Damascus.

In a statement at a press conference in Raqa, the Kurdish administration called for “a stop to military operations over the entire Syrian territory in order to begin a constructive, comprehensive national dialogue”, more than a week after Islamist-led rebels toppled Bashar al-Assad’s government.
