Masoud Barzani, the President of the Kurdistan Democratic Party of Iraq, indirectly threatened Syrian President Ahmed Shara. Barzani stated, "There may be wars among political forces and they may be resolved, but we will never accept the oppression of the Kurds."

While the ceasefire reached between the state and the YPG in Syria is extended for another 15 days, a statement has come from Masoud Barzani, the President of the Kurdistan Democratic Party of Iraq, who has recently made notable contacts. Barzani addressed Syrian President Shara with striking expressions.

"WE WILL NEVER ACCEPT THE OPPRESSION OF KURDS"

Barzani stated, "There may be wars among political forces and they may be resolved, but we will never accept the oppression of Kurds. I warned Mazlum Abdi about Arab tribes a long time ago. When ISIS came, they pledged allegiance to ISIS. Now they have handed over their regions to Damascus."

CEASEFIRE EXTENDED FOR 15 DAYS

The Syrian Ministry of Defense announced through the account of the US-based X company on the social media platform, providing information about the new ceasefire process reached with the terrorist organization YPG.

In the statement indicating that the ceasefire has been extended for 15 days, the following expressions were included: "We announce that we have extended the deadline for the Syrian Arab Army to halt all operations for 15 days until January 24, 2026, at 23:00." The statement, which addressed the reason for extending the ceasefire with the terrorist organization YPG, expressed that the ceasefire period was extended due to the process of transporting ISIS detainees from prisons controlled by the YPG to Iraq.
