A member of the Executive Committee of the #PKK, Murat Karayılan, called on the Damascus government not to be drawn into dirty Turkish policies, recalling the role of the Kurds in protecting the territorial integrity of Syria. Image
"Russia was also involved in the international conspiracy, perhaps it was not the main actor in it, but in any case it played a role in it. We hope that Russia will not be hostile to the Kurdistan Liberation Movement, but everyone is looking for their own interests"
"What brought Syria to what it is today is the policy of Erdogan, as he destroyed Syria and gathered around him all the mercenaries in Syria and sought to eliminate Kurdish politics, then he said: "I will pray in Damascus," meaning that he is the enemy of Syrian people"
"In the beginning, the PYD and the YPG also had relations with Turkey. The co-chair of the PYD, Salih Muslim, visited Turkey several times, at that time there was a ceasefire between us and Turkey. At that time, the Turkish state wanted the Kurds to also fight Damascus."
"Turkey said during talks with PYD to take control of Qamişlo city, that open door to Turkey, and Turkey will give us everything. We would also strike Damascus government in Aleppo to make Aleppo fall. The Kurds did not accept this"
"It can be said that Erdogan changed his policies towards the Kurds and Rojava, and this was one of the reasons, right; may not be all causes; But it was one of them. If the Kurds had stood with Turkey as it wanted, Syria would have fallen"
"Syria has not fallen to this day, then this is the result of the policy pursued by the Kurds in Rojava and their establishment today of an Autonomous Administration. This policy led to the unification of the Kurds and the Arabs"
"We call on the Damascus government. Bashar al-Assad should not make mistakes. He should look at history. For example, how was Mr. Hafez al-Assad able to withstand all these attacks? He was able to do so with the support of the Kurds, whether formally or not"
"Once again, if Saddam Hussein had dealt with the Kurds and established relations with them, and made some changes, perhaps his end would not have been like today. The Kurds here are a well-established society here, and no one should make a mistake and target their existence."
"Today, Erdogan is developing electoral tactics. Erdogan is in a critical situation now, as he did not succeed in his policies towards Syria, and the resistance of Rojava is the biggest reason for that; That is, he failed in his policies in Syria."
"Erdogan hurled insults, done all sorts of bad things and is now trying to get over all of that. Why? Because it did not achieve any results. Erdogan is also entering the election stage, and this makes him lose in it. That is why he throws himself at the feet of Syria."
"Syria must respond and not accept this. If Syria accepts this, she will be making a big mistake, as she will lose her permanent friendship with her citizens. This is a fascist and bloody regime that is hostile to Syria, the Kurds and all forms of democratic politics."
"Erdogan is very dissatisfied with the Kurdish-Arab alliance,&that is why he seeks to attack, and Syria should not stand with him, but against him. The peoples of the region have made their decision and will stand together against this Turkish chauvinist&Turanian aggression."

Long🧵

#Twitterkurds #Syria #Rojava Image
Rojava is a region located in northern Syria and has been the center of a political and social revolution in the country since the Syrian crisis began in 2011. The revolution has been led by the YPG and YPJ who have been fighting against the Syrian government and extremist groups
The Rojava Revolution is unique in the Middle East because it has been based on the ideas and principles of democratic confederalism, a political ideology developed by Kurdish political leader Abdullah Öcalan.

#Afrin: Local sources from the region reported that members of the terrorist “Faylaq al-Sham” faction, backed by Turkey, cut down about 70 olive trees in the village of “Ghazwaya” in the Sherawa district in the occupied countryside of Afrin.
Inhumane violations that the terrorist factions affiliated with the Turkish occupation continue to commit in the occupied territories, within the framework of a systematic policy that threatens the lives of the remaining indigenous people, and increases their suffering.
Also, a member of the “Ahrar al-Sharqiya” terrorist faction sold a house belonging to an indigenous resident in Afrin city, at a time when members of the “Sultan Murad” terrorist faction seized many shops.

New signs of dissension within the ranks of the PDK-S (Kurdistan Democratic Party of Syria), and Barzani Intelligence opens an investigation against the leaders of the PDK-S because of the theft of funds Image
It is not the first time that disputes have surfaced between the leaders and members of the PDK-S, which has always witnessed, since its inception, internal strife and struggle over influence and power, in addition to rampant corruption
This reflects the fact that the PDK-S has nothing to do with the Kurdish cause as it claims, where the internal conflict among them regarding corruption and theft of money from one side explains this, and the public stand by the Turkish-occupation
