"We hope that the new government in the USA can support the Kurdish issue and find a solution for it," Mohamed said.
During the March round of talks in Geneva, Syrian Kurds back at home declared a "Federation of Northern Syria," or Rojava, autonomy that unites three Kurdish majority areas into one entity. The Syrian government and members of the opposition swiftly rejected the declaration.
Representatives of the Syrian Kurdish autonomy have been excluded from the intra-Syrian talks in Geneva despite their desire to take part. The delegations of the High Negotiation Committee, however, included two Kurdish nationals.
"As for the cooperation between Russia and the United States [on Syria], if it is on the basis of resolving the Syrian issue, then it is a positive thing. It should take place and end the terror that threatens the whole world. All components of Syrian state, including Kurds, must be taken into account," Mohamed added.
Trump called himself “a fan of the Kurds” in a July interview with The New York Times. He meant, however, the Turkish Kurds. Commenting on the foiled July 15 Turkish coup, he expressed hope that the government of Turkey would find a way to work with the Kurds minority.
Presidential elections will take place on November 8. The candidates run neck-and-neck, with Trump being one percent ahead of Clinton, according to the ABC News/Washington Post poll as of November 1.
