PKK member Murat Karayılan, in a statement following developments in Syria, targeted the US and European countries, saying, "If you cannot push us out, we have been living on our lands for thousands of years, you cannot ignore this for your own interests."
A ceasefire was declared between the government and the terrorist organization SDG/YPG in Syria, and the Syrian administration halted operations. It was announced that President Ahmed Shara signed a new 14-article agreement with the SDG.
AGREEMENT REACHED Simultaneously with the withdrawal of all SDG forces to the east of the Euphrates, an agreement was reached to immediately establish a ceasefire on all fronts. The agreement also includes the integration of all forces affiliated with the SDG into the Ministry of Defense. According to the agreement, all energy resources and border gates will come under state control. It encompasses the transfer of rights related to all oil fields to the Syrian government.
"YOU CANNOT EXCLUDE US" As the YPG/SDG, pushed to the east of the Euphrates, struggles for survival, the Kandil aspect emerged. PKK terrorist Murat Karayılan harshly criticized countries like the USA, UK, Germany, and France, stating, "You cannot exclude us; we have lived on our lands for thousands of years, and you cannot ignore this for your own interests."
The latest updated map of Syria "ATTACKS AS AN ATTEMPT TO UNDERMINE THE PROCESS" Karayılan stated that the purpose of the attacks is "an attempt to undermine the process initiated by Abdullah Öcalan in Turkey," adding, "This attack is against all the gains of the Kurdish people. It has been prepared as a conspiracy. Both international and local powers are involved in this conspiracy. These powers saw their interests here. They organized these attacks for this reason," he expressed.
STATEMENT FROM TOM BARRACK The U.S. Special Representative for Syria, Thomas Barrack, made a statement regarding the agreement signed between the SDG and the Damascus administration on his social media account.
Stating that "This agreement and ceasefire represent a significant turning point where former adversaries embraced partnership instead of division," Barrack noted: "The United States appreciates the constructive efforts of the Syrian government and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDG) in the ceasefire agreement that paves the way for renewed dialogue and cooperation on the path to a united Syria."
Two great Syrian leaders, acting with a shared vision to free their countries and peoples from oppression, have come together to build a brighter future for all Syrians. This agreement and ceasefire represent a significant turning point where former adversaries embraced partnership instead of division.
President Shara has confirmed that the Kurds are an inseparable part of Syria. The United States is eagerly awaiting the seamless integration of our historic partner in the fight against terrorism with the newest member of the Global Coalition while steadfastly advancing in the ongoing struggle against ISIS.
The process of finalizing the details of a comprehensive integration agreement is now beginning. The United States, while safeguarding its vital national security interests in defeating the remnants of ISIS, is also advancing President Trump's bold Middle East Peace Plan and standing firm at every stage of this process.
The United States is particularly pleased with this determined effort to counter ISIS threats. This effort will facilitate the full participation of our long-term Kurdish partners in a united and inclusive Syria that protects the interests and rights of all its citizens, while also advancing the goals of reconciliation and national unity by uniting different pathways into a single, coherent route.
