The Syrian Kurds wanted to take the “capital of the Islamic state”

Kurdish want to include the Syrian city of raqqa in their autonomy after the liberation of the city from the terrorists of the banned in Russia grouping “Islamic state” (IG), which are de facto considered it his capital. About it reports Reuters.

“We hope so, since our project is designed for the whole Syria,” said Saleh Muslim, co-chair of the Syrian Kurdish party PYD. According to him, Raqqa residents will decide the fate of the city, however, the Muslim hopes that they will decide to join the Kurdish project.

The creation of a Kurdish autonomy contained in the draft Constitution, which Moscow offered Syria. From the name of the country can eliminate the word “Arab”, leaving the name Syrian Republic. In addition, the Kurds may be able to officially use their language on par with Arabic.

From the basic law propose to remove the paragraph about the use of Sharia law as one of the main sources of law, and to abolish the right to re-elect the President for a second seven-year term.

On 24 March, French defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian announced the start soon of operations for the liberation of Raqqa from ISIS militants. “It will be a very tough battle, which has enormous significance,” he said. In the Russian Ministry of defense have questioned this optimistic forecast.
