TODAY’S MESOP SYRIA QUOTATION : DESPERATE ROJAVA ALLIANCE

According to Radikal correspondent Tarik Isik, sources from the prime minister’s office said that Erdogan and Barzani had agreed that “the de facto administration the PYD wants to establish in northern Syria will not be allowed.” Iraqi Kurdish official Fuad Hussein has denied such an agreement, but Rojava is already embargoed in practice. Barzani’s message to BDP lawmakers yesterday, Nov. 17, is no different from what he said ahead of his visit: “The PYD is being a spoilsport. It broke the Erbil deal. All parties must abide by the deal. Otherwise, I wish them good luck.”
