BEIRUT, LEBANON (5:30 P.M.) – A military source in northern Syria informed Al-Masdar News this afternoon that the Syrian government sent a delegation to meet with the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in western Al-Raqqa on Sunday.

According to the military source, the Syrian government delegation discussed a number of topics with the SDF and PYD officials in the western Al-Raqqa city of Tabqa.

The source stated that the Syrian government offered the SDF and PYD officials the same deal they gave their allies in the Al-Hasakah Governorate.

The offer consisted of the following:

Joint checkpoints around the Al-Raqqa Governorate

Syrian military police take over the security in Raqqa city

Count time served by YPG/SDF personnel as time served in the Syrian Army

Syrian Army will reopen recruitment offices in the Al-Raqqa Governorate

Syrian Army and SDF/YPG troops join forces

No agreement has been made between the two parties; however, the military source said that progress was made towards a political solution.

These recent meetings in Al-Hasakah and Al-Raqqa came shortly after the Syrian government sent peace delegations to the city of Al-Qamishli to meet with Kurdish officials.

The meetings in Al-Qamishli would prove productive, as both the Syrian government and the Kurdish officials have met several times since.
