BRUSSELS, Belgium – Salih Muslim, the co-leader of the Syrian Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD) on Thursday called for help from the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) in Iraq.





Speaking to reporters at the European Parliament, he also claimed his group had evidence of links between Turkey and the Islamic State (ISIS).





Commenting on Turkey’s incursion into Syria, launched last week, Muslim described it as an invasion and accused Ankara of implementing its long-term plan for Rojava, or Syrian Kurdistan.





He also referred to relations between the PYD and the Syrian regime.





Salih said that whenever the regime has launched assaults against the Syrian Kurdish forces, they have been repulsed.
