YPG (People's Defense Units) Spokesperson Rêdûr Xelîl released a statement regarding the US decision to supply arms to YPG-YPJ forces. Xelîl said the plan was a bit belated but historic decision.

The related statement by YPG Spokesperson is as follows:

"Even though the White House decision to officially give weapons to the YPG is a decision made a bit late, it has become the demonstration of confidence in our forces fighting against Daesh and all the terrorist gang groups. Many victories have been achieved in the fight against terror over the past 5 years and in the ongoing war, both with the struggle of our forces with their own means and with the support of the International Coalition forces. YPG proved to the whole world, especially to the International Coalition forces, that it is the main force fighting against terrorism. Before this decision of the United States, our forces have had deficiencies for a long time.

With this decision of the United States, all unreal claims against our forces have been completely disappointed.

We believe that this historical decision will further strengthen the struggle of our forces against terrorism. Because this decision will bring rapid and important results for the democratic forces fighting against terrorism.

Our forces welcome this historic decision and declare that we will build a Syria where all peoples will live together freely, defeating the dark forces with the support of International Coalition forces.”
