The Future Syria Party (FSP) is a political party established in northern Syria. It was formed amidst increasing pressure from Turkey against the Kurdish nationalist Democratic Union Party (PYD). Turkey accuses the PYD of affiliating with the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), labeled as a terrorist organization by Turkey. Reports suggest the party's formation may have been influenced by the United States.[1][2]
History
The FSP was officially launched in Raqqa, a region controlled by the PYD and its armed wing, the People's Protection Units (YPG). Representatives from various ethnic groups, including Arabs, Kurds, and Assyrians, and from regions such as Homs, Daraa, Aleppo, and Damascus participated in the formation. Ibrahim al Qaftan was elected as the leader, with an 81-member general council and a seven-member board, the Office of the Conference, being established.[1][2]
Hevrin Khalaf, a prominent member of the party, was killed by Turkish-allied forces in October 2019.[3]
Objectives
The FSP opposes what it perceives as Turkish ambitions of occupation and Turkification in Syria and Iraq. It has accused Turkey of extending control over the region and reviving Ottoman-era ambitions. The party calls for unity against Turkish colonial efforts and promotes a vision of a "democratic, pluralistic, and decentralised Syria." This represents a shift from earlier demands for autonomy or a federal system, focusing on decentralization. The United States has emphasized its commitment to the territorial integrity of Syria in its support for the FSP.[4][2]
