SDF General Commander Mazlum Abdi commenting on the historic call of Abdullah Öcalan
“If this process succeeds, it will have a positive effect on us, and Turkey will have no justification to attack our region”
Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) General Commander Mazlum Abdi participated in a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, DC via Zoom, where he discussed the situation in Syria and North and East Syria, as well as Abdullah Öcalan’s historic call.
Abdi stated: “Mr. Öcalan’s call was directed at the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) and its guerrillas. It was not specifically intended for our region. He conveyed the same message to Southern (Başûr) Kurdistan and other regions, including ours.”
Abdi highlighted that Öcalan’s message represents a positive development and a call for peace, adding that if implemented, it would further strengthen democracy in Turkey.
Abdi continued: “The relationship between the PKK and Turkey, along with the establishment of peace, will also impact our region. If this process succeeds, it will have a positive effect on us, and Turkey will have no justification to attack our region.”
“Key to open healthy and constructive relations in the region”
Mazlum Abdi also commented the historical call of Abdullah Öcalan on his x-account as follows:
“We welcome the historic announcement from leader Abdullah Öcalan, calling for an end to the war in Turkey and opening the way for a peaceful political process.
This historic declaration is an opportunity to build peace and a key to open healthy and constructive relations in the region.”
