ALEPPO,— The Kurdish Freedom Party is
rejecting claims that its forces fought alongside
the Free Syrian Army (FSA) against the People’s
Defense Unit (YPG) during clashes last Friday.
Dr. Kawa Azizi, a senior leader of the Kurdish
Freedom Party (Party Azadi Kurdistan PAK)and its
representative in the Kurdistan Region, told Rudaw,
“We strongly reject any claims that indicate the
participation of our forces during the clashes
between the FSA and YPG.”
“The Kurdish Freedom Party in Syria has no
connection with the FSA and we have no armed forces
in the FSA,” he added.
The clashes broke out when FSA forces entered
Kurdish neighborhoods in Aleppo. YPG military units
have been protecting the Kurdish neighborhoods in
Sheikh Maqsud and Ashrafia.
The YPG announced that they had killed 19 FSA
fighters and captured a number of others.
Last Sunday, Sipan Hamo, commander in chief of the
YPG, announced that they had evidence that the
Kurdish Freedom Party assisted the FSA.
He also revealed that among the FSA dead, seven were
Kurdish Freedom Party’s members.
Aziz said that some members have been obligated to
fight alongside the FSA in areas where the battle
continues between the FSA and the Syrian army.
“Many Kurdish soldiers who are affiliated with the
Kurdistan Freedom Party have joined the FSA,” he
said. “The Salahuddin Ayubi brigade is made up of
Kurdish soldiers who are affiliated with the
Kurdistan Freedom Party and other Kurdish parties in
Syrian Kurdistan.”
Azizi added, “If any Kurdish Freedom Party members
participated in the clashes between the FSA and YPG
in Aleppo,www.ekurd.net
it was their own decision -- not the party’s.”
The YPG military commander threatened to take action
against the Kurdish Freedom Party if it didn’t have
a legitimate explanation for the incident.
