The Kurdish National Council (KNC) has received an invitation for talks with Damascus but stated that any delegation sent cannot replace a unified Kurdish representation. The council emphasized that any dialogue must be based on the outcomes of the Kurdish Unity Conference, according to a report by Kurdistan24.net. This development comes as celebrations were held in Damascus for the new academic year of the local National Council localization, as reported by Hawarhebo99 via X. The KNC's stance indicates a desire for broader Kurdish consensus before engaging in direct negotiations, highlighting internal complexities within the Kurdish political landscape.
