Syria Kurds urge Russia, Iran to prevent Turkish attack

HASAKEH, 17 July 2022, (TON): The commander of US-backed Kurdish forces in Syria has urged Russia and Iran to prevent Turkey from launching a new attack in the country’s north, days before an expected Syria summit.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan who will meet his Russian and Iranian counterparts to discuss Syria has warned that he may soon launch a new offensive in Syria against Kurdish fighters waging an insurgency against the Turkish state.

These include the US-backed Kurdish People’s Protection Units, which formed a crucial part of an international coalition against Daesh.

Mazloum Abdi, chief commander of the YPG-linked Syrian Democratic Forces, accused the international coalition of taking a weak position that is insufficient to end the threats.
