YPG General Command announced that they will not act according to the decisions that will be taken in the Astana talks on the Syrian crisis held under the leadership of Russia, Turkey and Iran.
The General Command of People's Defense Units (YPG) released a statement regarding their stance toward the Astana talks that kicked off in Kazakhstan’s capital city Astana today.
YPG said they see that those involved in this meeting are parties with a share in the Syrian crisis which have made no contribution to a solution.
The statement by YPG General Command pointed out that:
"We say that the crisis in Syria will reach a solution with democratic projects, fraternity of the peoples and Democratic Autonomy.
Since we have not been invited to the Astana talks, the decisions taken there will not be binding to us in any way. The decisions to be taken are valid for the participants in the meeting.
We hope that the fighting and bloodshed in Syria will stop, and that the crisis will reach a democratic solution.”
