The Kurdish Autonomous Administration in Syria announced that it will not implement the decisions issued by Syria's newly formed government, arguing that the continued dominance of a single ruling party and the exclusion of Syria's diverse communities undermine the prospects for a comprehensive political solution.
In an official statement, the administration said it is not concerned with applying or enforcing the decisions of the new government, which it described as largely a continuation of the previous one.
It criticized the new cabinet for failing to represent Syria's demographic diversity and for maintaining centralized control, stating that this approach excludes key components of the Syrian population from political participation.
The statement warned that such exclusion hampers progress toward a genuine political resolution and that the government's current direction risks returning the country to "square one," where a single party dominates governance and obstructs any inclusive political process.
It added that repeating the mistakes of the past would only harm the Syrian people and prevent the launch of a true political transition.

The Administration concluded that any government that does not reflect the full spectrum of Syrian society cannot govern effectively or lead the country out of its current crisis.
This comes after Ahmad Al-Sharaa, head of Syria's transitional phase, announced the formation of a new government on Saturday evening, calling it the "birth of a new phase" in the country's trajectory.
He said the cabinet reflects a joint will to build a new state, focused on unity and resilience amid national challenges.
