Bafel Jalal Talabani, President of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK), condemned in a message the barbaric attacks against the Kurdish people in Rojava (North and East Syria), stating that the situation is unacceptable and must be stopped.
The PUK President’s message read:
“What is happening in Syria and Rojava is unacceptable and must stop. We utterly condemn this act of barbarism against the Kurdish people.
The Kurdish people will not stay silent and look the other way.
Rojava lost thousands of its sons and daughters in the fight against ISIS, defending the world at a tremendous cost. They deserve respect, dignity, and real protection.
I call on the United States and the American people to act with clarity and responsibility to protect civilians and preserve stability.”
