According to Germany’s DPA News agency, Muslim denied the reports that the PYD is seeking to establish an independent state and they are fighting for a federal system in Syria.“We are not fighting for a Syria Kurdistan dream or an independent Kurdish region in the north of the country,” he said, adding that the Kurds are not alone within the Syrian Democratic Forces as there are Arabs, Assyrians and Turkmans who are fighting along the Kurds and they have made big achievements so as the Syria Democratic Forces is the biggest ground force in Syria.
