A representative of the influential party of Syrian Kurds the ‘Party of Democratic Union’ (PYD) in Qamishli (northeast Syria) Beshir Darwish spoke to Sputnik in an exclusive interview regarding Russia’s operation in Syria and Ankara’s links to Daesh.
“From the beginning of the civil war in Syria, our party has maintained its own, third line in its policy. That is, we do not support any government in Damascus nor the opposition. Oppositionists have supported Turkey, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Russia took the side of the Syrian authorities,” Darwish said.
She further said that her party maintains good relations with Russia but it condemns the actions of Turkey, as Ankara supports Daesh (Islamic State) and has opened its border for the militants of this group.
“We have repeatedly held talks with the Russian side. We do not care about the fact that some countries do not like that we maintain friendly relations with Russia or the United States. We are open to dialogue with all who seek to resolve the Syrian conflict.”
