A leader of the Turkish Kurdish insurgency PKK has claimed that the
Syrian Kurdish militia YPG prevented Syria’s ruler Bashar al-Assad
from falling in 2012.
Bahoz Erdal (pictured), the commnader of the People’s Defense Center
headquarters, saidAssad should be grateful
<http://www.basnews.com/index.php/tr/news/kurdistan/565457>to the
militia and Kurdish officials in Syria for his survival against the
Syrian opposition.
“The regime should thank the YPG and the people of [the autonomous
Kurdish region] of Rojava,” he explained.
The statement was part of the latest ploy for negotiations between
Syrian Kurdish factions and the Assad regime over the fate of northeast
Syria.
The YPG-led Syrian Democratic Forces, created in October 2015 and
supported by the US, have controlled most of the area since they began
pushing out the Islamic State, whose last village fell in March.
