The overthrow of Bashar al-Assad's regime in Syria marked the beginning of the end for the PKK/YPG as well. The PKK/YPG terrorist organization, which is trying to maintain its presence in the east of the country against the operations of the opposition, was instilled with fear. IRRATIONAL STATEMENT FROM PKK LEADERWhile the interim government signaled operations against the terrorist organization, an irrational statement came from PKK leader Murat Karayılan. Speaking to the organization's propaganda channel, Karayılan claimed that they have no relations with the regions occupied by PKK/YPG in Syria. "WE HAVE NO PRESENCE"Describing the area occupied by YPG in Syria as "Rojava," the terrorist leader Karayılan's statement was as follows: "As PKK, we have no presence in Rojava. We have no organic relationship or connection with any power or organization in Rojava. It is clear when we, as PKK, went to and left Rojava." OPERATION SIGNAL AGAINST PKK/YPG IN SYRIAOn the other hand, the Minister of Defense of the Syrian Interim Government, Hasan El Hamada, had signaled operations to take control of the eastern regions of Syria. Hamada, who described the PKK terrorist organization as a "poisonous dagger" on the back of the country in the past and present, stated, "The terrorist PKK party has been a poisonous dagger on the back of the Syrian revolution in recent years, and today it is also a dagger for Syria. There are widespread public demands to rid the eastern provinces of Syria from the terrorist PKK party, which was raised in Assad's school of crime." Ahmed al-Shara Colani, the leader of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), emphasized that the Syrian Ministry of Defense would disband all armed groups and that all weapons would be under the authority of the Syrian state.
