He stated that Kurds are an integral part of Syria and the country will not be divided. Shera mentioned ongoing negotiations with the PKK/YPG to resolve the crisis in northeastern Syria and later integrate this group into the government's armed forces.

Shera also mentioned that the group Heyet Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) will be dissolved definitively and this will be declared at the National Dialogue Conference. He highlighted that the new administration will govern the country with a 'state logic'. Shera stated that the liberation of Syria will ensure stability in the region for '50 years'.
