Jamil is among a group of Syrian opposition figures, not included in the Saudi-backed High Negotiating Committee (HNC), but who nevertheless was invited on Tuesday by UN special envoy Staffan de Mistura to take part in the upcoming Geneva talks. According to media reports, representatives of the PYD were not invited to the talks.
"Our delegation will raise the issue and seek the participation of the Kurds in the Geneva negotiations. I think that this issue will be resolved before the start of negotiations," he said.
The politician added that the delegation of moderate Syrian opposition figures that is not part of HNC comprises 15 members and has the same level of authority as the Riyadh-backed group.
In December, the UN Security Council adopted a resolution on settling the Syrian conflict, which reaffirmed the goals of the Vienna agreements to bring the entire spectrum of political groups in the crisis-torn country to the negotiating table and stated that the next round of the talks would take place in January, 2016.
Turkey has strongly opposed the inclusion of the PYD in the reconciliation talks. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu reiterated over the weekend that Turkey makes "no distinction" between the PYD and the militant Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), which is outlawed in Turkey.
On Tuesday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the intra-Syrian reconciliation talks would fail to reach a political settlement unless the Syrian Kurds were allowed to participate.
