QAMISHLO, Syrian Kurdistan,— The Syrian pro-Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD) stated that it is distressed with US silence against Turkish military incursion in Syria, adding that the affiliated forces of the party, People Protection Units (YPG), have withdrawn to eastern part of Euphrates River.

Turkey has announced that the PYD should not advance to the western part of the river.

Turkey launched an unprecedented cross-border offensive into Syria on August 24, saying it was aimed at ridding the frontier of both IS group jihadists and prevent US-backed Kurdish forces from extending areas under their control and connecting Syrian Kurdistan’s Kobani and Hassaka in the east with Afrin canton in the west.

The chief of PYD Foreign Relation, Zohat Kobani, told Kurdpress that the party is working with the US against the terrorist group of the Islamic State (IS), expressing his worry and wonder of the US silence against Turkey invasion into Syrian Kurdistan (northern Syria), an attempt to curb Kurdish advance in the north.

The official added that Turkey is to divide Turkey and help terrorist groups to control a part of the country.

He also blamed Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan who stated that there are not any Kurds between the two Kurdish cantons of Kobani and Afrin, reiterating that there are more than 100 Kurdish villages and small towns between Manbij and Afrin, northwest of Syria.

Also the PYD representative to Europe, Kobani added that Islamic State (IS) defeat in northern Syria was the reason behind Turkey’s incursion into the region.

Kobani further added that recent Ankara and Washington meetings are to veil Erdogan failures, blaming the Turkish president for trying to destroy the will of democratic nations.

Kobani told Kurdpress reporter Afshin Gholami that the PYD is seeking a democratic system in Syria and democratic federal system is the best model for northern Syria and the rest of the country.

The YPG said on Aug.5 that its forces have returned to their bases after the mission was successfully completed in Manbij. A US defense official told AFP last week that US-backed Kurdish YPG forces have “all” moved east of the Euphrates River.

Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said on Sunday “We will never allow the formation of an artificial state in the north of Syria.

Syrian Kurds have established three autonomous zones, or Cantons of Jazeera, Kobani and Afrin and a Kurdish government across Syrian Kurdistan (northern Syria) in 2013. On March 17, 2016 Syria’s Kurds declared a federal region in Syrian Kurdistan.
