PKK/YPG continues "attempts to dominate Syrians by applying violence and pressure on them,” says Turkish Foreign Ministry following rocket attack that killed at least six people.In its more than 40-year terror campaign against Türkiye, the PKK — listed as a terrorist organisation by Türkiye, the US, UK, and EU — has been responsible for the deaths of nearly 40,000 people, including women, children, and infants.
Türkiye has said it is closely following with “concern” recent clashes between the branches of PKK/YPG terror group and some Arab tribal elements in the countryside of Syria's eastern Deir Ezzor“Recent development is the new manifestation of PKK’s attempts to dominate Syrians by applying violence and pressure on them and violating their basic human rights,” the Turkish Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Friday.
“We hope that true colours of PKK, seeking to cover up its aims and intention under the pretext of fight against Daesh/ISIS, will be seen by its supporters without further delay and without causing further suffering to the ancient peoples of the region, including the Syrian Kurds,” the ministry added.
The statement came after at least six people were killed and eight others were injured on Friday in northwestern Syria, in a rocket attack by the PKK/YPG terror organisation. The terrorists, who continue to occupy northern parts of Manbij district, attacked a village in Jarablus, leading to the casualties.
