WEST KURDISTAN (SYRIA) – MESOP NEWS LATEST : PKK/PYD STALINISTS BURN DOWN KURDISH POLITICAL OPPOSITION

Basnews English  – 24/08/2017 – 12:20  – ERBIL — Unidentified gunmen set fire to the headquarters of the Syrian Kurdish Yekiti Party in the city of Qamishlo in Rojava (Syrian Kurdistan). “A group of unknown young men came to the headquarters of Suleiman Adi of Yekiti party in the eastern neighborhood of the city of Qamishlo and threw several Molotov cocktails at the headquarters, which resulted in a fire,” a source from the Yekiti party told BasNews.

He noted that the gunmen soon fled by a van, and then the residents of the neighborhood extinguished the fire, which caused damage to the equipment at the headquarters. A number of headquarters of the Syrian Kurdish National Council (ENKS), have so far come under attack, and the council accuses the ruling PYD, of those attacks.

PYD (Democratic Union Party), the Syrian wing of PKK, has been cracking down on ENKS, a political umbrella consisting of a group of parties in Rojava which are considered as rivals by PYD for having different political views from those of PKK. The ruling party in Rojava has detained many political figures and closed down all the ENKS headquarters and offices in the region. www.mesop.de
