Kurdish political parties in Northern and Eastern Syria issued a joint statement regarding the attack by the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) forces against the guerrillas in Xelîfan. The statement, signed by 19 parties, was read by Kurdistan Democracy and Peace Party co-chair Telal Mihemed at the Diplomatic Research and Counseling Center in Qamishlo.
Mihemed said that there is a dire process that will determine the fate of the region and the Kurds, and added: "Despite the clarity of the process and its political nature, we see that some Kurdish forces have not reached the level of responsibility with their approach and attitudes, making the situation more dangerous and exacerbating the current conflicts."
The KDP is serving the enemy
Mihemed said that the news of the attack on a group of PKK guerrillas in the region of Xelîfan in Bashur Kurdistan and knowing that in fact the KDP was responsible for this incident was painful. Mihemed added: "Such dangerous developments should not happen in Kurdistan."
Mihemed said that the 19 parties signing the statement demanded to avoid a civil war among the Kurds and called on the KDP not to serve the enemy and stand up to its responsibility.
Mihemed said: “If things continue like this, the dialogue between the Kurds in Rojava will be negatively affected and all political gains will be in danger. At the same time, the opportunities of the representatives of the Kurdish people will be weakened and efforts to resolve the Syrian problem in the international arena will be hindered. Moreover, these dangerous developments simultaneously put political pressure on the Autonomous Region of Northern and Eastern Syria.”
KDP should apologize to the families of fallen guerrillas
Mihemed expressed his condolences to the families of the martyrs and asked the KDP to explain the attack against the guerrillas in Xelîfan and apologize to the families of the fallen fighters.
