Asia Abdullah: “If you don´t want to help us, at least don´t stand against us”: Information center: Asia Abdullah, chairman of the Democratic Union delivered a speech on the incorporation of external powers in the affairs of Rojava in the “Bernama Taybet”
program of Ronahi TV and said to the democratic Kurdistan Party: “Give us your political program, your suggestions and opinions concerning an appropriate management for Rojava. That would be our wish, but it has to end that you play one side against another kurdish side. This is the kind of occupation that the Regime of Saddam, Iran, Turkey and the Baath regime have similar. This procedure is dangerous and you should bar the way to such a behavior. ”
Furthermore Asia Abdullah requests the Democratic Kurdistan party to stop the hostile policy against Rojava: “If you don´t want to help us, at least don´t stand against us.” She also said: “We repeat and emphasize again that there are many common points between the Kurdish parties, on which you should focus on. There are no brotherly fights, as some people spread this information. The forces of Rojava will not interfere in Hawler and the forces of South Kurdistan havn´t been undertaken an invasion against Rojava. The continuation of this policy serves neither the general interest nor the interests of the Kurdish side. ”
At the end of the conversation Asia Abdullah said that one can understand the attacks of ISIS, the Al-Nusra and the regime in Rojava because they are enemies of the Kurdish people, but what meaning have the attacks of the Kurds against their Kurdish siblings in Rojava? This should be a hint to the last explosion in the house of a member of Al-Barastan in Rojava and the attempt to attack sleeper cells, as well as official and civilian bases.
