HASAKA, Syrian Kurdistan,— Six Syrian
army soldiers were killed in a rare incident in the
Kurdish city of Hasaka in Syrian Kurdistan region
[Western Kurdistan] on Tuesday, said the Syrian
Observatory for Human Rights.
Unidentified gunmen attacked Syrian army troops
killing six of them near Hasaka, said observatory
spokesperson Hevin Koka.
The incident is the first of its kind to take place
in the city since the protests that erupted in Syria
in March last year, which saw Syrian soldiers killed
in Kurdish areas.
Kurds in Syria have been part of the protests in the
country, but President Bashar al-Assad’s regime has
not cracked down on them to the same extent as
citizens in other areas.
The development comes as Syria pledged to abide by
US representative Kofi Annan’s plan of ceasefire and
pullback of military forces as of today.
But Koka added: "There's no movement or pullback of
Syrian forces from the streets.”
Kurds are the second largest ethnic group in Syria
who, according to unofficial figures, number about
three million. They accuse the Syrian regime of
carrying out discriminatory and racist policies
against them for decades. Thousands of Kurds are
still deprived of their citizenship.
Kurds in Syrian seek a formal recognition of their
ethnic group and Kurdish identity in the Syrian
constitution, in addition to the right of
self-determination.
