KOBANĘ, Syrian Kurdistan,— People’s
Defense Units (YPG) in West Kurdistan in northern
Syria has established its third brigade in the

formation of its first and second brigades in the
major Kurdish cities of Efrin and Qamishlo.
In the announcement of the brigade’s establishment,

mission of defending people in Kobanę in the face of
the danger the Baas regime constitutes against the
people of Kurdistan.
The establishment of the brigade was announced with
a military ceremony on October 11. The YPG
declaration in Kurdish and Arabic underlined that;
“Our people in West Kurdistan have been on a civil
commotion since the Qamishlo uprising on 12 March
2004 and this uprising shall continue until we gain
our freedom.”
YPG remarked that the need for a military unit for
the defense of people has become prominent in line
with the developments in Syria, noting that the
brigades will be defending the cities of Kobanę,
Efrin and Qamishlo against the arising internal and
external matters.
In a speech after the announcement, martyr Sadeq
Kobane’s brother Mustefa Bali pointed out that the
establishment of People’s Defense Units is one of
the major essentials of Democratic Autonomy.
The first brigade of YPG forces was announced in
Efrin on September 14, which was followed by the
establishment of the second brigade in the largest
West Kurdistan city of Qamishlo on October 4. With
the formation of the third brigade in Kobane,www.ekurd.net

expedite its organization and to set up brigades
across West Kurdistan.

the north bordering Turkey and Iraqi Kurdistan
region. Syrian Kurds have long sought official
recognition of the Kurdish language and their
culture in Syria.
