<p>The UK supports the sovereignty, independence, national unity and territorial integrity
of Syria. Neither the UK nor the international community recognises the unilateral
decision made by the Partiya Yekitiya Demokrat (PYD) to form a temporary administration
in the Kurdish areas of Syria. The UK has consistently made it clear to the PYD that
they need to demonstrate commitment to pluralism, respecting other political forces
within the Kurdish areas rather than linked to the regime, and willingness to co-operate
with the National Coalition. It will be for the Syrians to decide the exact nature
of the settlement including whether an autonomous region will be created for the Kurds
in Syria.</p><p>We appreciate the difficulty in delivering aid in northern Syria as
a result of insecurity. The UK is working closely with our partners and continues
to push all parties to allow the safe, unhindered delivery of aid.</p><p> </p>
