The Refugee Issue is Linked to a Comprehensive Political Solution:

In conclusion, the Syrian Democratic Alliance reaffirmed its firm stance that freedom and dignity are the foundation of any successful political solution in Syria. It called on the international community and the Arab world to intensify efforts to achieve a genuine political transition that ensures a bright future for Syria and its people.
