Syrian army tried to enter Amude

Soldiers of the Syrian regime have attempted to enter the city Amude whose control was seized by Kurdish powers in West Kurdistan late July. Security forces of the High Kurdish Council are holding the pass of all roads in the city.

No clashes have been reported so far in the city in which Syrian soldiers claimed a military vehicle of the Syrian army had been seized.

After the beginnig of civil commotions in Syria in the March of 2011, the Kurdish powers in West Kurdistan formed people's assemblies, opened mother language providing educational institutions, created defence committees and changed the names of villages and cities which have been arabicized in the last 40 years.

The power in the cities of Kobani, Afrin, Dêrko Hemko and Amude was seized on 19-21 by the People’s Defense Units (YPG) which were formed to ensure security in the Syrian Kurdish region.

The mentioned Syrian cities have been managed by committees affilated to the High Kurdish Council which declared its foundation on 24 July as the representative of Kurds in the region.
