The Democratic Federation of Northern Syria Construction Assembly Board harshly responded to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad who accused the Kurds of being “traitors” in a recent statement.

The Democratic Federation of Northern Syria said: "The statement of Bashar al-Assad means a declaration of war. He plays with fire, because with his accusations he supports Turkey in their invasion plans for Syria."

“DECLARATION OF WAR”

The statement by the Democratic Federation of Northern Syria Construction Assembly Board said the following:

"The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) are freeing the villages around Al-Bukemal from the terror of ISIS. At the same time, the political forces in northern Syria are building a democratic system that all citizens of Syria dream of. In this region, they choose their own representatives of all structures and form their own system. Therefore, we regard Bashar al-Assad's final statement as a declaration of war.

Syrian Democratic Forces have been under the control of the will of Syrian peoples since its founding and act on the basis of their interests. The SDF is the only force that protects and defends the different values of religion, nation and faith of all Syrian peoples. The Syrian Democratic Forces act on the basis of freedom, justice and brotherhood. In addition, the SDF represent the dreams of all peoples of Syria.

“SDF REPRESENTS ALL IDENTITIES”

The SDF unites all Syrian identities under one roof. These forces have proven themselves in the war. All peoples of Syria trust their only power that can protect them. In this sense, only the SDF can be the nucleus of Syria's future army.

To accuse Syrian Democratic Forces of betrayal is to declare them a target. This shows that a new war is ahead of Syria, and that all discussions, meetings and talks that have sought to find a solution have only meant killing time.

This statement makes it clear that there is a secret agreement between the governments of Tayyip Erdoğan and Bashar al-Assad. This is the beginning of a new conflict in Syria.

“THE REGIME SUPPORTS TURKEY”

As the Democratic Federation of Northern Syria Construction Assembly Board, we view the targeting of Syrian Democratic Forces as a targeting of all Syrian peoples and Syria's territorial integrity. This attitude of the regime also supports the invasion of Syria by Turkey that kills civilians daily.”

The Democratic Federation of Northern Syria Construction Assembly Board called on the peoples of Syria to join the SDF ranks at this stage more than ever.
