A Call of Conscience: When Destiny Weaves Its Threads Between Imrali and the Eastern Euphrates

In the sanctuary of human consciousness and the expanse of the free spirit, the Kurdish epic of destiny unfolds, its threads undulating between the silent walls of Imrali and the glow of the Euphrates in northern Syria. The podium of Duhok, within the Forum for Peace and Security, rose as a witness to a new dawn that clears the dust of stagnation, where opposites met and the barriers of political estrangement between the Kurdistan Region and the Autonomous Administration were broken, in a scene that would not have been possible without the effects of the quiet of the Imrali process and its profound interactions with the question of integrating the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) into the fabric of the coming Syrian regime. This is the language of major interests that reshapes maps and demonstrates that any existential breakthrough in northern Syria serves as the mirror that determines the fate of the Kurdish dialogue in Turkey.

The current existential dilemma lies in a complex equation: Ankara awaits its harvest from the Eastern Euphrates before reaping internal gains, thus slowing the internal path—the path of the Kurdish issue—and turning it into an adventure fraught with political and electoral risks. The vision appears as a reversed roadmap, where the solution begins from Damascus, not Diyarbakı-;-r. Meanwhile, the position of the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) emerges with a different perspective, guided by a deep nationalist state reflex, accelerating steps toward their ally residing on Imrali Island—not out of party harmony, but from the imperative of safeguarding and securing the domestic front before regional threats intensify. The Syrian concern is the main driver, and the fear of an “Israeli-style incursion” against the Kurds propels a strategy of fortifying the front through a strategic partnership with Imrali, which, in this context, is viewed as the ultimate safeguard against the “invasion” of the Kurds and their incorporation into a regional agenda that does not serve their existential aspirations.

From this podium, the voice of the Autonomous Administration and the Kurdish leadership resounds with a profound call, demanding the same opportunity for a political solution that was granted to others in Damascus, affirming that their goal is not war but dialogue. The March 10 agreement is not a liquidation plan but a foundational framework for integration that preserves the essence of Kurdish political will within the structure of the new Syrian army. This agreement, in which the interests of the major parties were considered, remains a stray note in the symphony of resolution, hindered by Ankara’s complex calculations and Damascus’s hesitations, which have yet to reach a final decision. Here lies the paradox of existence: while some see the integration of the SDF as an opportunity for the “golden ratio” ensuring everyone’s security, the Kurds view it as a consolidation of their identity and entity within a decentralized system that rejects the centralist tyranny that led the country to ruin. The struggle is not for a seat of power, but for the peoples’ right to determine their destiny within the borders of a unified homeland that carries within it a multiplicity of colors and the rhythm of free life.
