The Kurdish-led Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES) on Sunday denounced Damascus’s decision to postpone parliamentary selections in Kurdish-held regions, calling the process “neither democratic nor representative of the Syrian people.”

The body said defining its territories as unsafe was a political excuse to marginalize more than five million Syrians in Hasakah, Raqqa, and other areas under its control, stressing that “northern and eastern Syria are the safest regions.”

The criticism came after Syria’s new electoral committee announced that transitional parliamentary selections, set for September 15–20, would not take place in Suwayda, Hasakah, and Raqqa provinces due to “security challenges.”

Under the interim constitution adopted after Bashar al-Assad’s fall in December, two-thirds of the 210-member People’s Council will be appointed by local bodies, while self-appointed President Ahmed al-Sharaa will select the remaining 70 lawmakers.

The arrangement has already drawn fire for concentrating power in the presidency and sidelining minorities.

AANES warned that “any decision taken through this approach of exclusion will not concern us, and we will not consider it binding,” adding that the process merely repeats decades of Baathist marginalization.

It urged the United Nations and international community not to recognize the outcome and said only an “inclusive political track where everyone participates” can address Syria’s long-standing crises.

All this is happening while Jolani terrorist is engaged in normalization talks with the zionist colony under the tutelage of Trump.

Considering the massacres on the Alawite community in the coastal area, the brutal attacks on the Druze in Sweida and the deliberate alienation policy implemented against the Kurdish community of Syria, the remaining Syrians have the moral and legal duty to boycott the phoney HTS election process.
