Posted On2022-08-17 By Sotaliraq A Syrian Kurdish leader confirmed, on Tuesday, that the Turkish threats are serious in light of the justifications and pretexts provided by the Democratic Union Party (PYD) and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), and the cadres of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) control the joints of the PYD administration, noting that the PKK system is continuing its destructive policies, and that it has become The weakest link is prone to bazaars, and our people alone pay the tax.
Kurdish politician Ismail Rashid, a member of the political committee of the Kurdistan Yekiti Party - Syria (one of the Kurdish National Council parties in Syria, ENKS), told BasNews, "The Turkish threats are serious in light of the justifications and pretexts provided by the PYD and (SDF) and the control of PKK cadres in the area.
The joints of the PYD administration, as well as there are understandings that took place at the Sochi summit between the Turkish and Russian presidents, which was preceded by the Tehran summit, in which it was emphasized that the fight against terrorist groups was taken and dealing seriously with the Syrian file, which is an indication that despite the contradictions between the three countries, there is an understanding that the American role will be reduced. Thus, the likelihood of the Astana path on the ground.”
He added, "It seems that the tripartite understanding changed the rules of intervention, as it was being talked about Tal Rifaat and Manbij as a targeted plan, but because of the presence of Iranian militias and regime forces in the vicinity of those areas, in addition to their proximity to the towns of Nubl and Al-Zahraa, most likely the barter was made and Turkey was freed in Kurdish areas, through marches and shells on some border villages, with assurances that the PKK militants were the first to launch the shells towards the Turkish border, at a time when it was necessary for them to calm down in the face of these unequal battles.
And he added, "Unfortunately, the PKK system is continuing its destructive policies, and it has become the weakest link and vulnerable to bazaars, and our people alone pay the tax."
Rashid said: "I think that (SDF) was strengthened by the fight against ISIS, and America frankly declares that its support for (SDF) is to fight the terrorist organization ISIS, so the (SDF) statement to suspend its operations with the international coalition is for local consumption and an attempt to satisfy its elements and supporters in response to the situation The Americans are practically unsupportive of them in the face of Turkish threats.
America is a superpower and it will support the (SDF) when it is attacked or threatened by ISIS, and not against a NATO ally country.”
He pointed out that "the (SDF) statements about suspending its cooperation with the international coalition express a state of loss and loss of its compass in the Syrian equation before the interests of countries affecting the Syrian file."
Regarding the Turkish Foreign Minister’s statements regarding reconciliation between the regime and the opposition, which were raised in the media and topped the political scene, and the accompanying state of public anger in northern Syria, Rashid said: “I think these statements were not surprising and did not bring anything new.
America regarding Syria about supporting (SDF) and not implementing the agreement concluded with America regarding the withdrawal of (SDF) 32 km from the Turkish border, as well as the Turkish statements come in the context of the pressures that the Turkish government is subjected to by its opposition, especially the file of economic deterioration and the refugee issue ahead of the upcoming elections , by finding a solution to the refugee situation (establishing a safe zone), whether through diplomatic or military means.
He pointed out that "the Turkish statements come in the context of the Russian insistence to solve Turkey's security problems with Syria through a modified formula of the 1998 Adana Agreement with the Syrian regime, and this is ultimately a Turkish option and a pressure card on America, which is still monitoring developments without taking any practical positions."
Ismail Rashid concluded his speech by saying: “The Syrian scene is becoming increasingly complex, and the rules of the political game and the alliances of players change according to the intersection of the interests of each country, and the Syrian people will continue their tragedy and will wait as long as there is no international will for a solution and the failure to translate international resolutions, especially 2254, despite everyone’s assertion that the solution lies through it. …but the dark tunnel continues.” LINK
