A scandalous PKK/YPG call from Germany to Turkey: The operation paves the way for ISIS.

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock made striking statements regarding the developments in Syria.

"AN OPERATION AGAINST PKK/YPG WILL CREATE SPACE FOR ISIS"

Inviting Turkey to refrain from an operation against PKK/YPG, Baerbock argued that "the conflict in the region will create space for ISIS and similar organizations." She stated that such a situation would pose a security threat to Syria, Turkey, and Europe, emphasizing that the territorial integrity of Syria must be preserved and that "it is unacceptable for third parties to meddle in the country again, as seen previously with Iran and Russia."

"A SYMBOL OF THE BRAVE FIGHT AGAINST ISIS"

Baerbock stated, "Like every country, Turkey wants to rid itself of terrorism. However, this cannot be an excuse for the re-displacement of Kurds or an increase in violence." She claimed that PKK/YPG played a "key role in repelling ISIS in Syria," asserting that the Kobani region is "a symbol of the Kurds' brave fight against ISIS."

"WE MUST ACT TO PREVENT THE RESURGENCE OF RADICAL FORCES"

Expressing that the international community bears a common responsibility, Baerbock called for action to "prevent new waves of violence, stop the resurgence of radical forces, and ensure that people can live in safety."

WHAT HAPPENED?

Following the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad's regime on December 8 in Syria, the Syrian National Army (SNA) had captured Tel Rifaat and Manbij, which were under the control of PKK/YPG. Recently, it was claimed that the SNA was preparing for an operation in Kobani.
